Parti Standard Poodles, are true Poodles, not cross breeds or Poodle mixes. The base colour is always white, with darker patches of another colour on their bodies. These markings can range from a small area to larger areas on their bodies. Sometimes Parti Standard Poodles can have ticking through out the coat too. Ticking is very tiny freckles of another colour in the white parts of the coat. Usually the ticking is not seen on Parti Standard Poodle puppies when they are born. The ticking usually develops around the 6th week or even later. No two Standard Parti Poodles are the same, they may look the same to the naked eye but will have a different marking somewhere on their coats to make them truly unique piece of art.
Parti Colored Standard Poodles have been in existence throughout history, dating back to the 1500's. Writings, drawings, and paintings from the 1700's and 1800's have many examples of the Parti Coloured Poodle. The most common being white with black, but other colours include white/silver, white/blue, white/chocolate, white/red, white/apricot and even white and cream although this colour does not show the parti markings well and most people mistake them for a white Poodles with cream ears.
