Waiting for La Roux to come into season

I was talking to a breeder that has been breeding red standard poodles for year,

her suggestion is to 'get' reds, is to breed La Roux to a red and not to our blue or cream

advise heeded, this litter will be produced by Viktor and La Roux

Red Standard Poodle History

It took many years to achieve the quality and conformation that we see in the red standard poodles of today. The concept of developing a red standard poodle was first conceived by Ilse Konig of the Shangri-La Kennel when she returned from Germany in 1980 and admired a red miniature poodle at a dog show.

With the assistance of the Palamares Kennel in Oregon; together they embarked upon an experimental breeding by mating a small English apricot bitch (provided by Shangri-la) to an oversize red dog at Palamares. [In Europe, it is acceptable to mate separate size classifications as long as the difference is under 10 centimeters.] Quoting from Ilse Konig “I kept the first litter—4 red babies. The color was stunning and I was dancing from joy! The problem came later on. The heads were Standard Poodles, the legs short like Miniature Poodles. While they were cute, they were not in temperament as I knew the Standard Poodle. They all were smaller than a Standard and they were called a "Caniche", (the in-between size of Mini and Standard Poodle)."Matilde", still going strong, she is out of one of the first litters of a Mini & Standard mating.
