Shadow Poodles

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Poodle Support Group : One Thread

I have been a Poodle owner and would not consider any other breed! A friend of mine has just acquired a toy "shadow Poodle" The pup is very evenly marked in Black and apricot. Are these dogs recognized? What sizes? The one I saw is a cutie - but too small for me. I would like to know more about them. Thank you, Marcella

Hi Marcella......

The color you are referring to is also know as "phantom" which is black and tan markings like say a doberman or rottweiler would have. The shades vary ....I have seen brown(chocolate), apricot etc.... These markings are NOT recognized by the AKC for the oficial standard of the breed.....I have only seem these is toys and minis but I am guessing there are some standards out there with these markings as well. Another known poodle color or marking is parti colored which is usually 2 seperate colors such as black/white...silver/white...red/white...etc etc
