Ok, I know that eyes should not be too big, should be almond size, wide set, and not too light in color.

But - what is too big ? And what is too light (talking about black poodle) ? And if any of the white is seen when dog looks strait at you - is that permissible ???

Any photo comp. would be VERY appreciated !!!! I am looking at the illustrations (drawings) and it is hard to "get the picture" . I can recognize great eyes in a puppy, but I am wondering about another spectrum. How far from "perfect" is really "too far" and absolutely unacceptable in a show ring.

Thanks a lot in advance !

Great thread. We should definitely have more like this. Different aspics of the poodle... sure would be helpful for everyone. And, anyone looking at pups and want to have a pup that is well conformed, even if they are not going to show it, could definitely benefit from these type of threads! Always different to read the breed standard and look at pictures/photos of poor/good examples. I really like this thread... can't tell can you? LOL

I agree I was going to start a poodle feet thread , but did not know how to start it lol

Awwwweeee ROXY !!!! Enzo is sooooooo CUTE !!!!! OMG Look at that expression !!!!!:dog::first:

His eyes might be a little bit on the round side but it did not take a zilch from his "adorableness" !!! Oh boy - can you clone him LOL ???

Oh yes, as I mentioned in the beginning of this thread - bad feet are my second pet peeve !!! I would rather see them cat-like than splay or "flat" - oh my - than they look like little monkeys O_O !!!LOL

See they look round there lol now look at this picture

This is why i am confused when look at him in person they look either oval or alond shaped

And I wish I could clone him I miss him being a puppy.

Oh yes - definitely better : ) !!! Now you need to make him a nice top-knot , put his face in "semi-profile " angle and make a photo of adult Enzzzzooo ; ) !!!
Wroom -wroommm !!!

His eye rims and nose pigmentation is really fantastic for a red poodle - in my humble opinion

!!!!

Roxy, I thought that his eyes looked a bit oval in both posted pics. But he looks fabulous and it doesn't take away from him one iota. They are placed nicely and he looks expressive and intelligent.

I would really like to see some posts of good and bad poodle feet. I would like to see posts of real necks on real dogs as well. Illustrations just don't do much for me.

Ok - I will try to find examples of "fitsies" as soon as I take my pumpkin cake out of the oven - please don't go

Omg theres a standard that comes into our salon and she literally has NO neck! It's like a standard poodle with the neck of an english bulldog, she's a gorgeous deep apricot, but just looks way goofy with no neck.

Monroe's eyes...oval to almondish?

and here's his feet...perhaps a bit too catty?

Good point made here. Point of view makes quite a difference on how a feature appears to us. BTW....I think her eyes are lovely in that first pic.

I don't know if it is just me but I can't get images from the post. I would love to see them. Can you re-post them?

I fixed the photos, I often get confused about pic posting...
My grooming mento tells me that Monroe is too broad in the jaw...I like the way his face looks, but according to her it's a fault...any thoughts?

It's hard to tell about Monroe's eyes in that picture because they are pulled up and I like his feet.

They kinda look almondy to me in that pic but then it is not a very close up shot.

His feet certainly look nice and tight. Now, isn't he a finished Champion or am I thinking of the wrong dog?
