Real Poodle Colors

A few weeks ago we did a post about the ghastly practice of dyed dogs.

More often than not, the subject of this is the poodle, perhaps because they don’t shed their hair.

A Breed Apart

People often joke about poodles and their haircuts, but really they are intelligent and kind animals who make great pets for those with allergies. Not to mention they come in a rainbow of colors, naturally.

Let’s face it, if Mother Nature wanted poodles to be pink, she would have made them that way. What we should do is celebrate what she gave us, not try to modify it.

This is Just A Few

There are many different parti and phantom combinations which are all quite rare and hard to find pictures of. If anyone has a better picture of a poodle color they’d like to share, drop us a note. We’ll give you credit for your shot.

    I grew up with a mix-breed poodle. She was black when young, then turned silver. She mostly looked like a poodle, but she had a teri nose. She lived till she was 16 and was the toughest little dog I’ve known. We miss you Buffy!

    i read the other post ‘poodles wronged’ and was very angered by it as im a dog groomer myself. you keep saying about poodles are lovely just the way nature inteneded, but you have failed to realise that poodles were not breed in the wild by ‘mother nature’ they are a man made breed, created purley by people over a long period of time. ‘mother nature’ also did not intened them to have clipped faces or feet as you have shown in your pictures yet, many dogs suffer from clipper reactions when groomed, yet you seem to have no problem with that?? your argument does not logically have a leg to stand on. you should actully understand something befoe you decide you are so opposed to it.

    also in many of the photos here, the poodles have docked tails. how can u be opposed to dying their hair and not cutting their tails off? you obviousy have a very naive opinion about the world of dog breeding, grooming and showing.

  4. Paige says:

    Although we’ve always had dogs (usually rescued mutts) admittedly we are still new to the barbaric world of purebred inbreeding, tail docking and the rest of the atrocities forced on the canine population. We are learning as we go along and will definitely be addressing your concerns.

    Thanks for the feedback, it will be considered as we write future posts.
