Red Poodles in general are seen as one of the newest colors in the poodle world, and because of it's newness they are also very popular and trendy especially in places like China and Japan. Red Poodles are in the same color family (gene pool wise) as Apricot Poodles and Cream Poodles. The red coloring generally comes in 3 shades-- light, medium, and dark.

Because there are potentially many shades of red it is easiest to compare them to actual human red heads. There's a fine line between blonde hair and red hair at times, but you kinda know it when you see it. "Strawberry Blondes" are usually the line, when a person has blonde/red type hair coloring. There are many poodles that are apricot, but with a reddish tinge so they are more often than not grouped with Red. The true deciding factor between reds and apricots is the amount of brown in the coat oppose to blonde or cream. Like it's solid counterparts, Red Parti Poodles also come in many shades of red. There are generally two main colors of red partis: Dark Red and White, Light/Medium Red and White.
