Inbreeding and Diversity in Standard Poodles may be studied at:
The Canine Diversity Project.
A coefficiency of inbreeding (COI) reached of 25% is as if you bred a
brother to his sister. Black Standard Poodles in North America are approaching
22% as the average COI for the population. Tiara Standard Poodles would
like to request the world Standard Poodle breeders to be aware of this
unfortunate circumstance. COI figures are based on 10 generations. Please
forward any unrelated black pedigrees to be considered for import by eager
USA Standard Fanciers.
We have bred our litters with less than 6% COI to improve health and longevity
in the variety. John Armstrong of The Canine Diversity Project has stated, "In
general, the average poodle inbred < 6% will outlive those inbred over 25% (10
generation calculation) by about 3 years."
