HOW TO FIND A REPUTABLE BREEDER POISONOUS PLANTS AND YOUR POODLE

phantom poodles The term "phantom poodle" does not refer to a specific breed or size of poodle, only to its color and markings. Phantom poodles are bi-colored, with the same markings as a Doberman. That is, they have a lighter color appearing on their "eyebrows," muzzle and throat, legs and feet and below their tail. For a dog to be classified as a phantom it must have all the markings of a Dobie. Phantoms are now recognized in the UKC show ring. Phantom poodles are also accepted by the AKC in various color combinations. Black can be combined with apricot, brown, cream, gray, red and silver. Brown and red can both be combined with apricot. No matter what the color combination, a dog's coat must comply with the standards for phantom markings to qualify for conformation shows.
