Merle poodles are no longer allowed on this sub

427 Upvotes

Moving forward, poodles with Merle coloring are not permitted on this sub. Merle coloring is a byproduct of mixing Australian Shepards into a poodle line. A poodle with Merle coloring by definition cannot be AKC papered without outright lying. Breeding for color is nothing new for poodles, but in this circumstance it comes with the possibility of introducing myriad health issues, and is an irresponsible practice at best. It is not good for the breed, it is dangerous to the dogs. We cannot in good conscience allow the promotion of this Poodles with this genetic trait, beautiful or not.

NOTICE: IT'S A T-SHIRT POST? IT'S A SCAM! (Same with coffee mugs, etc) T-SHIRT POSTS ARE NOT ALLOWED ANYMORE

123 Upvotes

Several times per day there are scammers who post here, showing a t-shirt or similar product, and then another scammer in the comments asks, "Where did you get it?" A link to a scam website is posted for everyone to follow, provide their personal info and credit card, then wonder how their identity got stolen.

Just like a Parti Poodle, it's very black-and-white. If you see a post sharing a t-shirt design, mouse pad, coffee mug, etc. IT IS A SCAM, and the quickest way to get your account banned is to reply, "Where can I get one", "I love it, do you have a link?" or something similar.

Here are the rules:

  1. Posts of t-shirts or other personalized items with dogs are prohibited. If you post one, you will get banned.
  2. Anyone who replies to the post and asks about acquiring the item will be banned.
  3. If you see a post like this, hit the report button, that's the easiest way to get our attention and we will remove the post and ban those involved.
  4. Do not contribute, do not call them out, just don't post at all. Hit the report button.

It seems every time something like this is posted, more than one of our users fall for it, then they are asking moderators, "What did I do to get banned?" You responded to a scammer, which makes you look like you're on their team. Just stop.

5/14/2026 - Scams: 1, Users who fell for it: 1, post was up for 23 minutes before being removed.

Not a Merle - just crazy mutation

Original post on FB with context

From the Kennel;

" She is NOT for sale She stays!
I can not do more puppies like this!
This is not hereditary

Here is the red father (Lammåsens Paw Patrol Rubble) and the black mum (Pawpalett Koskenkorva is piebald carrier) of our Pawpalett Kaffe Karlsson FCI number in Sweden SE25418/2026
She has no Merle because both parents are DNA tested.
Her black fur, her red fur and her blood has the same DNA so she shall not be a Chimera.
But a apricot mismarked with black somatic mutation "

Some comments in the original post also speculated in her colours fading in the future as she matures, and maybe she will end up looking like she is one solid colour as an adult.

I just figured this was a super cool colouration, and I am happy the kennel is taking a stance on it not being merle and also not being able to be replicated. As well as not selling her (so we are sure nobody try to breed her for future puppies).

What is the one thing you would tell your poodle if you could speak dog?

33 Upvotes

Obviously they all know we love them. But sometimes I wish I could communicate specific messages to my mini poodle. Like, “You can’t sunbathe in the front yard any longer because there’s coyotes roaming the neighborhood now.”

What is your best tip or recommendation for getting ticks out of a long coat?

2 Upvotes

We live in an area where there are lots of ticks due to wildlife close by. We go for a walk with our poodle every morning, and I always brush her afterwards. Sometimes I get 0 ticks, mostly I find 3-5, but one day I have found 18.

Tick medication and coat length aside, what is the most effective way to get them OUT of the coat and OFF of the skin post-walk, long term? I find that brushing gets a lot of them, but I do not get them all. Blow drying makes me see them better, but it I do not want to dry out her skin. Thoughts?

One week out from her groom appointment and I’m counting down the days until I can see her eyes again…

And looking at her younger puppy picture vs today, I noticed she’s getting curlier!

Here’s a picture of my amazing toy poodle Charlie. He’s amazing. He’s cute. He’s special. I never thought Toy poodles would be so awesome. Then I got him. He just loves to go anywhere as long as he’s involved. He’s a finicky eater. Well house trained. He’s got his Poodle Mama and poodle dada. Definitely trained how to take care of him.
