Courtney has informed me we had a natural breeding yesterday between Georgie and River! So exciting!! In 9 weeks we should have another beautiful litter of Blacks and Blues (maybe Creams)! This will be our second and final litter for the year and these puppies will mature to medium to large Standard Poodles (23-26 inches). Georgie is 5 years old and this is her first litter!
Sherri and Summer, you two ladies need to take note! Hopefully there will be a puppy for both of you in this litter.
Both River and Georgie are now fostered by Courtney and her family in Northwest Arkansas. Courtney is not a breeder, she is just a wonderful person willing to keep a few of my dogs intact for future breeding. The dogs she keeps are her pets first and formost! She has put some titles on her poodles in order to help show the great temperament her dogs have and is active in Therapy with her dogs. I will not place my dogs in homes that kennel, so people like Courtney are extremely important to my breeding program. A great foster home is worth their weight in gold! Courtney has been supporting my breeding program for almost 10 years and hopefully Georgie will help us out and have this much anticipated litter of babies. Georgie is a granddaughter of my beloved Merlot and it is my hope to keep one of her babies for myself. Georgie is also a 3rd generation Therapy dog.

PEDIGREE FOR GEORGIE X RIVER LITTER
These two should produce a nice mix of working dogs and pets.
The average Coefficient of Inbreeding for a Standard Poodle is 15%. This litter is 2.02%. The lower the number, the lower the inbreeding.
Genetic information for Test breeding GerogiexRiver from PoodlePedigree.com website:
The COI (Coefficient of Inbreeding) is calculated up to a maximum of 12 generations. The COI is calculated entirely from the pedigree information present in the database, so if there are inaccuracies in the pedigree, there will also be inaccuracies in the COI. I try to run the COI every Friday. If there is an error on Friday that means I will have to correct the error and rerun the coi on Saturday. For information on what the COI figure means, see http://www.canine-genetics.com/relation.htm, particularly where it discusses the inbreeding coefficient. For a more complete discussion of genetic principles, visit the Canine Diversity Project.
10-generation COI 2.03%

Congrats on your future litter! I stumbled upon your blog because I have actually been in search for a Standard Poodle for myself. I’m a groomer and I want to get into a more competitive grooming field and would need a poodle to do so. Your input and information would be highly appreciated, especially with your experience and poodle background! You can always contact me through email or stop by my blog, I would really appreciate your input! Thanks! 🙂 -Nicole-
How did I miss this?! EEEEE!!! So excited!!!!! 😀
Start saving up for the plane flight, girl! Hopefully there will be a large and very empathetic puppy for you and Radar!!
What a majestic looking couple! I will be counting the days and praying that all goes well for Georgie. Keeping my fingers tightly crossed for a beautiful, bouncy new baby girl!!!
