My childhood minipoo was apricot faded to white. She never had anything like this, just a faint amount of apricot in her ear hair.
Is this a partipoo and this is where she has color? Did you ask your vet?
i know someone with a white goldendoodle who’s butt looked like that when the dog had an infection. Hair turned back to white during treatment. Her dog’s discoloration was limited to the anal area.
First and foremost hi and welcome to PF!
Okay for the tail does Ariel lick herself a lot or sit in something wet often ie daily? As for the face coloring Evie gets that although she is black so I am not sure if the coloring concept would be the same. But, Evie and other dogs get the dark reddish discoloration from being wet or damp IE drinking from the water bowl and having it wait a while to dry. I am going to make a guess that that coloring on the face will go away with a shave like Evie's does. It could also be an infection like Skyler said. She could also use a good sanitary shave possible to help with being wet and staining.
Just my two cents.
Hope this helps.
I don't see the folds in her neck but that staining around her tail is saliva stain. We see it often in dogs that are licking due to allergies. She could be licking for other reasons as well- anal glands (which may or may not be related to allergies), urine infection, or skin problem.
Once the underlying issue is solved, the stained hair can be clipped off and it will grow back in normal color.

Thank you!!!! She had a UTI for a long while before I realized it (she’s 10 but we’ve only had her for two months) and had one round of Rx, I’ll take her back for another! Thanks again!

Great point on sitting on damp area. She loves to sit on our side patio which over the last few months (since we got her) have been much wetter than normal. I’ll be more intentional about moving her to a dry spot when she’s out standing guard thanks so much! This is a sweet and very helpful forum! Poodles are so great!!!
I decided to shave my 19 month old spoo last night. I really wanted to put him into an English saddle clip, but I'm not that brave. So I put him in an HCC. This is only the second time I've tried this clip and the last time was on my old mini.
I did not get him blow out as well as I should...
The costs of starting to do this are rising rapidly, so before I go all out and buy a great clipper I’d like to get one to learn with.
I am looking at the Andis Pro-Animal Clippers . I am so not interested in the plastic combs it comes with, but will be buying blades for it.
Have you or...
Is it easier to wait till the coat is at the right length or to set the pattern in the continental and let the coat grow in that way. I am going to do the continental cut but not sure if I should wait till he has more coat. I am impatient and would love a little less hair to deal with too lol
So many descriptions of grooming tables (ads) say their table is adjustable, but the only adjustment I see is the arm that holds the noose.
Is there such a thing as a lower table or a handicap accessible? I want to start grooming all my dogs but have to sit down to do it, and the regular height...
