Peaches Miniature Poodle

Apricot Poodles are unique and lovely. While few owners of this breed have the pleasure of adding one to their family given their rarity, they are a popular show prize in the dog world.

Apricot poodles are the rarest of all the various poodle coat colors available. They are available in three different sizes, toy, miniature, and standard. These poodles have a lifespan of 12 to 15 years and make excellent companions.

Apricot Poodles are the rarest of all the various poodle coat colors available. If you have an apricot poodle then you are one lucky dog owner. They fall into the rare coat colors category due to the fact there is not a whole lot of them around.

Apricot is a beautiful light orange poodle color with a lighter and faint cream undercoat. The American Kennel Club (AKC) recognizes apricot as one of the Poodle coat colors, but it’s very uncommon to find that color.

Like all poodle colors, apricot poodles are available in three different sizes; Standard, Miniature, and Toy. The Standard Apricot Poodle is the tallest of the three, with a height that ranges from 45 to 60 cm. The smallest of the three is the Toy Apricot Poodle variant with heights ranging from 24 to 48 cm. Miniature Apricot Poodles sit comfortably in the mid between the Standard and Toy variant with heights ranging from 28 to 35 centimeters.

Poodles typically live between 12 and 15 years, but the size of the poodles plays a role in how long they live. Standard poodles live for anywhere between 11 and 13 years, miniature poodles last between 14 and 16 years, and toy poodles live for anywhere between 14 and 16 years.

Apricot poodle prices are typically going to vary based on a few different factors. The factors you should keep in mind depend upon whether you’re looking at adopting or purchasing a dog. Either way, you’ll want to consider what it costs to feed the dog and how much the unique type of grooming will be. That can be the deciding factor in choosing an apricot poodle versus another type of breed.

Additionally, whether you choose to make the purchase from a breeder or adopt from an animal shelter could make all the difference as well. But when all is said and done, you could expect somewhere in the ballpark of $600 to $4,000 and more, depending upon the circumstances.

The cost varies on several factors such as the size of the poodle (toy, miniature or standard) and the reputation of the breeder. Toy apricot poodles cost less than standard apricot poodles.

Usually, I try my best to show potential poodle parents the benefits of adopting a dog but, in all honesty, finding an apricot poodle to adopt can be quite a search. However, if you do decide to accept a new poodle in your home, adopting one is a great option.
