Description

The poodle is believed to have originated in Germany, where it was known as the Pudelhund, or Pudel. The breed was standardized in France, where the dog was commonly used as a water retriever, and later became popular in Spain as well.
.............
The poodle has been bred in at least three sizes, including Standard, Miniature, and Toy. According to the American Kennel Club, the Standard Poodle is the oldest of the three varieties. Poodles have either a solid-colored or parti-colored coat. The dogs have a wide variety of coloring, including white, black, brown, parti, silver, gray, silver beige, apricot, red, cream, sable, and patterns such as phantom and brindle.
.........................
Phantom poodles have the coloring of a Doberman Pinscher, with a lighter color appearing on their "eyebrows," muzzle and throat, legs and feet and below their tail. Like Dobermans, Phantom poodles have either a black or brown main coat with a tan (usually apricot or red) lighter colorings around the eyebrows, muzzle, throat, legs, feet, and below their tail.
.......................................
When the dog has markings that resemble those of a tuxedo, it is called a "tuxedo" poodle. Although you can't see it in the painting, I'm sure this Picture Perfect Poodle has a tuxedo. Why, after all, he or she is certain to be a "party" poodle.
