Mom has been showing/breeding poodles since the 70’s and this puppy will absolutely fade to a light cream or light blonde!!

omg no way. we got her because she’s a red poodle. 😭 her dad is red and her mom is cream so i guess that makes sense

All poodles fade and she’s already so light. True reds are born so dark they are almost brown. Your breeder should have been honest with you about final color!

this is lowkey so irritating! she has lied about so many things already, including the fact that she had a heart murmur. we’re already so attached to her we don’t have the heart to return her at all

Totally get it! This is why ethical breeders are so important if you decide to get a second poodle I would only buy one that is recommended by the poodle club of America since they are audited by them and have to health test, show, temperament test etc

thank you so much for the recommendation. do you think she’ll look more like this? i don’t really care about what her color will be, i’m just curious about your thoughts!

You guys should shave her face once and then you will be able to get a better idea of her future color! This is one of my girls, and as you can see when we first shaved her face, her face was almost white and now she’s that color all over!
