Color changes of the red poodle

Red poodles can undergo many color changes as the dog grows. 

It is important to note that occasionally they are born very bright red and then lighten over time. 

Some of these red poodle puppies will remain lighter, however, in some cases, the poodle will darken again, as it ages. 

When a red poodle is lightened, the color will generally become a kind of cinnamon color o apricot poodle.

In most cases, they are exceptionally dark and then lighten between 1 year and 18 months of age.

Since a color change can occur during the puppy stage, it is highly recommended to always be able to meet its parents before buying or adopting a red poodle, as they will give us a clear reference of the color our puppy will have once it is an adult.

Therefore, it is always good to keep in mind that a poodle of this color may fade, as discoloration is common in this breed.

 The exceptional color that can be seen in a young puppy will often change over time; although this is not to say that the adult coat is not beautiful in its own right.

History of the Red Poodle

The red poodle is the newest of poodle colors

It took quite some time to achieve the amazing red poodles we see today.

Red poodles are the newest color developed, becoming an official color only in 1980, when they were included in the IFC standard.

These red poodles are an incredibly beautiful color, one that is very close to the color of humans with natural red hair. Poodles come in light red (new copper color) to the darkest of any human with dark brown hair.

Red poodles are one of the rarest and most difficult colors to obtain today. This is mainly due to the great demand for these dogs in the markets of countries such as the United States and China. In Spain there is a greater number due to the fact that many kennels have specialized in this color (see below).

The demand for these dogs is almost always high and breeders can have extremely long waiting lists at any time. But if you want one, you just have to have some patience and wait for your little puppy with all the love.
