Frances & Winnie

Genetics are a fascinating subject and we love learning more as the science adapts and more information becomes available. Our two girls Frances & Winnie are full siblings from two different litters. By a glance you can see they are both doodles but one obviously has a curly coat (like Dad) and the the other a wavy coat (like Mom). You can see that their colors are completely opposite on the scale of apricot which is what they are both considered color wise. Also Frances has dark eyes and a black nose while Winnie has amber eyes and a brown nose. The possibilities of color from a litter from their parents (Alfie & Calliope) are cream to apricot as well as parti puppies (puppies with spots) and since they both carry “b” it means any of the puppies can have light eyes and brown noses. Again – the science is so interesting. When we decide to breed two dogs together we absolutely know the percentage outcome of what the litter will create. The surprise is how many of each but it’s never a shock to see specific colors or traits.
