Rosie, a UK Poodle, shows off her eight puppies who all look like their father Alfie, a black pedigreed Poodle.
It is somewhat unusual for a white Poodle to give birth to black puppies but possible as long as there is a black Poodle in her lineage and a white Poodle in the father’s lineage, according to a spokesperson for the Poodle Club of America. They belong to Carol Marsden, a retired nurse. Source

....and then there is the pooping puppy to the left of the photo who couldn't care less what people think of him, his parents or his siblings.

At a poodle funday I saw on the weekend, there was a White Standard mum with 5 Black and 5 Brown puppies!

Cute little puddlers!
White is recessive to black..For her to throw white pups,the sire would need a white poodle in his lineage.
..I read a book once.

Ahh, the crap shoot that is genetics. From college genetics, I think it's
because white is recessive and much less likely to happen.
