Twist my arm to post more Sunny photos!

 

Cream / Apricot




Sunny's CKC registration states the "colour is apricot" ---- although I refer to him a cream. I also included a photo I received before I even saw Sunny, of his "brother" on the cover of a magazine -- it shows the color better.

 

My cream girl, Roulette... RIP, crazy woman!

 

My Polo bear in the tub and at Carolina Beach!

 

I love Polo's expression in the first pic. Only poodles can carry off that look!

Sunny is adorable!

 

I love Polo's expression in the first pic. Only poodles can carry off that look!

haha those are his "poodle eyes" they have magical powers! that was the first time he made that face, now he makes it when he is being very sweet and going into a poodle trance while being petted!

 

Here's Pippin, my sable poodle.

And Brandy, my apricot poodle and first rescue. I miss him!

 

Here is Lilah in her Hurtta Overall - we are getting ready for the snow to fly...

 

Fun idea, Rowan! Here's my pup Bonnie. She is registered cream, but is more a light apricot. She's getting darker as her coat starts to change (first pic is when she was 6 months, last at just turned 9 months). Not a full apricot, but people who see her call her apricot:

 

Cream, apricot, no matter, she is stunning!!

 

Here's my Darby

Not exactly sure what color she officially is. I always refer to her as apricot. But her ears are really lighting up to she may be considered cream...?

 

There is a fine line between cream and apricot. Creams turn mostly milky white as adults with orange sometimes left on the ears and between the shoulders. They can range from a brownish/tan white to a milk white to an orange white. Creams can sometimes have darker shades or spots in their coats. A true apricot should be nonfading as they get older.

I was sure my cream would get whiter, but instead she started getting darker, more like her pics as a little puppy where she looked orange. Mine is not a full apricot like a few dogs on the board, but closer to apricot than cream. She is just starting coat change, so it will be interesting to see what happens in the next 6 months. She has an apricot standard line on her dams side.

Beautiful Darby is for sure a pretty cream rather than an apricot. White is a brighter, clear color. My spoo Clara was pure white (her pics are in the white thread).

Aren't poodle colors fun!

 

Yes poodle colors are so fun and SOOO interesting! I never knew how specific it all is. I have been reading the color threads on here and I'm like, "whoa, never knew that!"

 

This is my cream standard pup, he was 5 months in this picture. His name is Oasis. He will be 6 months on October 29th.
All the poodles on this thread are beautiful, I love looking at all the pictures.

 

Oh, your baby is beautiful,too! Look at those toe nails! One nice thing about creams and apricots is they often have good, dark noses and toenails that often do not fade as they age. My white spoo had a black nose that faded.

 

Here is Sookie at 9 weeks and now. She looks almost completely white now! She has a bit of cream in her ears on the ends. She is registered as cream. Then Nina in her puppy clip with lots of colour in her ears. Then now. She is way lighter but more cream than Sookie.

 

Love that shot of Nina in the PC. But then, I'm a big fan of short ears. lol

Here's one of my guys . . our Tonka . . in a classic pose.

 

my Belle

Belle is a very clear apricot.

 

Belle

Here's a pic my vet took of her at his office. She's actually a darker color than the pic shows. [her collar is from dogs in style]

 

These pics are of my second spoo Sport (ok so a few have Betty Jo or Jenny in them too). He was a wonderful gentleman of a dog. So very sweet. I still miss him.

 

Meet Chili! He is my dog Bonnie's cousin. My SIL and BIL loved Bonnie so much they decided they needed a poodle, too, but Bonnie was a bit big for them. He is 4 months old now and is a Moyen poodle (top out at 17-19 inches). He is a real sweety and looks like Bonnie's mini-me.
Check out those toe nails! His black toenails are the first thing I noticed when they brought him home.

 

Here's some snapshots of Leroy growing up. Last photo is the most recent, however I just shaved his beard into a french mustache (gotta get those pics up soon).

 

outwest, Chili and Bonnie are tres jolie. I love apricots that soften to the color of a melty creamsicle. So many glorious poodles on this thread and I've never seen a sable baby before. What a treat

 

Ok don't have any nice adult photo's of Lula and she's not really mine but she's so cute so I'm putting her in anyway lol.

 

Lula didn't change colour very much, does that mean that as a rule if a cream is a cream at puppy age then it will continue to be a cream....what are the chance of him/her turning white

 

This is like one of those "How Many Puppies Can You Count?" things. I see at least nine.

So what do u call them, eh? Apricot?? . . maybe. Red?? . . that's a possibility too. 'Kinda cute' is a fairly safe label tho.

 

Those look red to me and more than a little cute. :act-up:

 

Countryboy, that cat looks just like our neighborhood cat. He hangs around our house for treats. He is really calm. Leroy always runs over to him at full speed and the cat doesn't run. I'm surprised the momma poodle is letting the cat hang out with them!

 

I am always amazed at the different responses dogs have to cats. Sunny could care less -- the breeder says the dogs live with cats, too, and she has one particular older cat that lets the little poodles crawl all over her, etc., and it is Cat Socialization 101! If I wasn't so allergic to them (on a 1 to 10, I am a 20!) it could be nice company for Sunny. I love all the poodle "colors".......... now that I have a scanner, I may dig up some of the early pup pics of Jake who was black, but who came from a black and brown parents, and kept his color a deep black brown.

 

I've seen this cat wiggle it's way out from under a Puppy Pile-On too. lol It's the prime socializer of any little ones in this pen . . and outside in the yard. There's a good chance that the dam got used to Gizmo when she was pup herself.

It wouldn't surprise me that most breeders have a cat around the house. It's great socialization for any pups.
