Coat colour and skin
|
Canadian breed standard
"Any solid colour. The coat is an even solid colour at the skin. In the blues,
greys, silvers, browns, cafe-au-laits, apricots, and creams, the coat may show
varying shades of the same colour. This is frequently present in the somewhat
darker feathering of the ears and in the tipping of the ruff. Note: the tan-point
pattern expressed in light and dark shades of the same colour is to be
discouraged. While clear colours are definitely preferred, such natural
variations in the shading of the coat are not to be considered faults. Brown and
cafe-au-lait Poodles may have brown-coloured noses, eye rims and lips, dark
toenails and dark amber eyes. Black, blue, grey, silver, cream, and white Poodles
have black noses, eye rims and lips, and black or self-coloured toenails, and
very dark eyes. In the apricots, while the foregoing colour is preferred, brown
noses, eye rims and lips and dark amber eyes are permitted, but not desirable.
Parti-coloured Poodles shall be disqualified. Particolour is at least two
definite colours appearing in clearly defined markings at the skin. The skin is
pliable, tight, and not mottled."
