Marble is a drivey, intelligent boy that absolutely excelled in his agility and scentwork training. He was always the Star of all his training classes! He has a lot of people focus and easily motivated with an excellent work ethic. He lives to retrieve balls and play tug.  We couldn't be more pleased with this boy. I absolutely adore him. Although we would have loved to continue titling him, we had to make a really difficult choice between keeping him or my daughter's Junior dog Sunny - we let our daughter keep her dog, of course. He now lives in a  Guardian home in Columbus, OH and instead of dog sports, he enjoys his time going on amazing hiking adventures with his new best friend and owner. It is never easy to let them go, but seeing a dog thrive and get so much more individual attention makes it worth it.

What do these numbers mean?
On average, Poodles test at 0.25 for Outlier Index (OI) which measures how common or diverse their genetics are compared to the rest of the gene pool. Diversity breeders aim to increase OI. Marble tests higher than breed average.
Internal relatedness (IR) measures how in-bred or out-bred a dog is. The average IR for the breed is 0.02 and diversity breeders aim to decrease the IR or go below that average.  Marble has a negative IR which means he is out-bred.
Haplotypes are a gene associated with the dog's immune system. Certain haplotypes are associated with a slight increase risk of SA and/or Addisons and other haplotypes are rarer and considered protective. The 1010/2010 haplotype is only carried by 1.32% / 1.32% of the poodle population! Marble does have the 1003/2001 haplotype but it is only small piece of the puzzle. OI and IR have an even bigger influence on disease risk than haplotype and Marble has desireable OI and IR. We will aim to eliminate the risky haplotype in the next generation.

Studies have shown that by increasing OI and decreasing IR and being mindful how we breed dogs with risky haplotypes, we can breed healthier poodles with less incidence of autoimmune disease like Sebacious Adenitis (SA) or Addison's disease.
