    The black poodle is true breeding (homozygous) for the black fur colour.

    Explanation:

    Let the allele for fur colour be represented by B.

    Black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b).

    Black poodle (B _) is crossed with white poodle (bb):

    B _ x bb

    Progeny (all black) = Bb, Bb, _b and _b.

    Since all the progeny are black, _b = Bb (remember, B is dominant over b)

    Hence, B_ is also BB.

    The best conclusion is that the black poodle is true breeding (homozygous) for the black fur colour.

    Explanation: all the puppies in the F1 generation are black because homozygous black (BB) is crossed with a homozygous white (bb) and since the black fur is dormant all the puppies will be black ie heterozygous black (Bb).
