Kennel Mondalma

My goal is to breed Miniature Poodles with excellent health in solid colours. Brown is my all-time favourite. I love its warm, earthy colour and magical amber eyes. My first real life mini Lady was brown too. The devotion started with her. Monty is my second mini, he is cafe au lait (faded brown in FP). They are so different in nature but both lovable.

On my previous account, I mainly focused on colour breeding and didn't give much thought to sports or stats. I would like to change that.

First, I will narrow the possibilities to these six sports, then I will try to breed dogs with coordinating stats to boost their sport carrier from the beginning.

Also, I have a database where I can follow the inheritance of aptitudes among other things. When I choose a puppy from a litter, I try to take several things into consideration. It is not easy and often time consuming.

I am very happy about the opportunity to be able to control the colour shades for future breeding. I decided to work towards the variant 4 and 5 in most colours.

The B gene is responsible for the black and brown eumelanin pigment. These vibrant colours have 'faded' versions too. I don't want to breed dogs with the recessive dilution gene (dd), it is very rare in poodles. I rather use the theory of the progressive greying gene (G) with incomplete dominance.

The extension gene (E) regulates the two pigments eumelanin (black/brown) and pheomelanin (red/yellow) in the dog's coat. The recessive allele pair (ee) allows only the pheomelanin pigment. The colour intensity gene (C) with its four alleles makes it possible to have various shades of the pheomelanin pigment. In real life white is not dominant over every colour in poodles. Therefore, I won't use the silvering gene (Sl) to breed white poodles but the silver allele pair (cwcw) of the colour intensity gene. The game's colour variants are mostly light cream so I will replace the pictures with white ones.

The phantom poodle with its distinctive 'tan' markings on the face and legs are so cheerful and special to me. I hope to have some of these impressive dogs in my kennel. I want to avoid masking because it spoils the look. The ideal gene sequence is: EE kk atat

Next to solid colours (SS) I would like to breed a few dogs with piebald markings (spsp) because it is the most common pattern in particolour poodles. I don't plan to keep the irish markings (sisi) in the future.
