Supernova nucleosynthesis. Supernova nucleosynthesis is a theory of the production of many different chemical elements in supernova explosions, first advanced by Fred Hoyle in 1954. The nucleosynthesis, or fusion of lighter elements into heavier ones, occurs during explosive oxygen burning and silicon burning processes. Those fusion reactions create the elements silicon, sulfur, chlorine, argon, sodium, potassium, calcium, scandium, titanium and iron peak elements: vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, and nickel.
While the AKC requires poodles competing in the standard class to be over 15 inches at the shoulder, most average around 22 to 26 inches. Dogs marketed as royal or giant run from 25 to 31 inches tall at the shoulder. While some breeders charge a premium for larger dogs, they are registered with the AKC as a standard poodle. There is no advantage to their size in the show ring.
They usually range from 20-28 inch. To be considered a Standard Poodle by AKC, they must be over 15 inches. Weight can be anywhere from about 30-90 lb. Of course, there are toys and miniâs that take up the bottom end of the scale.
