Colorado Red Royal Standard Poodles

This is ROCKY, aka "Mr Freckles".  Yes, a beautiful red & white Parti Poodle with lots of 'ticking'... ('red spots' or dots! all over.  When his coat is longer, the 'ticking' isn't as visible inthe above photo, but when he is groomed shorter, his markings are just beautiful!)  My, do we have some exciting plans with this guy.

But for now, he is eating us out of house & home!  And Growing like a weed.  Rocky is a handsome boy with beautiful markings.  This guy loves to sit with us and watch the evening news.  He is a true snuggle buddy.  We couldn't ask for a better personnality or demeanor.  This guy is always wanting to please and he wouldn't hurt a fly!  Rocky will be a wonderful sire in the near future and we are please to add him to our breeding program.

Rocky at 1-1/2 years old stands 28" tall and weighs 78 lbs.  He has the prettiest 'curls'!  Beautiful coloring, he reminds me of a plush - stuffed animal  :)

Rocky's coloring:  as he grows, his 'red' coloring is becoming darker and all of his spots / ticking are coming out.  I just love his feet!! 

The breeder we got Rocky from does not 'dock' their puppy's tails.  This is what a 'natural' poodle-tail looks like. 

Pretty long - and when he prances around in the yard, it tends to 'curl' up towards his back. 

Rocky's tail is always on the move...  wagging back & forth all the time.  He's a Happy-go-Lucky type of boy.    :)

Rocky's coat is super soft and have a nice 'wave'.  We are so very pleased with this boy!
