Shaded: Due to the nature of the greying gene and red intensity, several colours may show varying levels of shading.
The shaved areas follow the same guidelines as for Solid dogs, with the coated areas modified as follows.
A dog may have lighter shading only, darker shading only or both.
Lighter Shading: When present, required on at minimum the toes/fingers.
May also include the paws, higher and/or lower legs - shading may be uneven, with more shading present on the frontlegs than the hind legs.
The light shading can also include the muzzle (may include face as well), front of chest, ears and tail.
Darker Shading: May be present on one, several or all of the following: ears, topknot, top of body, tail.

The combinations are as follows:

Blue and Silver dogz:
Lighter Shading: A lighter shade of the base colour, Silver (Texture), or White (15)
Darker Shading: A darker shade of the base colour or Black (35)

Cafe au Lait and Silver Beige dogz:

Notes

Most experts believe that the Poodle originates from old European hounds crossed with the French Barbet dog. Its name comes from German 'pudel' ('to splash') and despite having France listed as its home country, the Poodle is mainly a German breed, with a fair share of Russian blood as well.

The Poodle is a highly versatile dog, that competes with success in many different dog sports. It's also a valued companion and show dog, with many different coat cuts, such as 'continental', 'second puppy', and 'lamb'.

The Poodle should have an elegant head, dry and proportionate. The muzzle is straight and powerful, with little stop. The eyes should have a lively expression. The ears are set rather low and long enough to reach the tip of the muzzle is held out. The neck is powerful, slightly arched, carried high and proud. The body is slighly rectangular with well developed chest, slight tuck up and straight topline. Well angulated legs. The tail is set rather high. The coat can be either wooly or banded, and there are several coat cuts.
