time.

Think about the color if you want to show you dog in AKC or APRI
Color - the coat is and even and solid color at the skin. In blues, grays, silvers, browns, café-au-lairs,
apricots, and creams the coat may show varying shades of the same color. This is frequently present in the somewhat darker
feathering of the ears and the tipping of the ruff.
White clear colors are fefintely preferred, such natural variation in the shading of the coat
is not to be considered a fault. Brown and café-au-lait poodles have liver-colored noses, eye rims and ips, dark toenails
and dark amber eyes.
Black, blue, gray, silver, cream and white poodles have black noses, eye rimes and lips, black
or self-colored toenails and very dark eyes.
In the apricots while the foregoing coloring is preferred, liver-colored noses, eye rims and
lips, and amber eyes are permitted abut are not desirable.
Pati-colored dogs shall be disqualified. The coat of a parti colored dog is not an even solid
color at the skin but is two or more color. Revised registration : party colors and different shades of colors can now be
registered with AKC under special code color.
