Mythos Poodles is a division of Shear Madness Grooming.
We strive to produce puppies with excellent temperament and conformation first and foremost, but it certainly doesn't hurt if they are beautifully marked too!

While we have produced all of the listed colors/patterns, our program generally produces parti, phantom, & phantom parti in solid and merle.
Solid
Solid poodles are the same color all over. While the AKC accepts a wide variety of colors and patterns for registration, the solid poodle is the only one considered for conformation showing.
Poodles come in several colors but our program only includes black, brown, and an occasional blue.
Phantom
Phantom poodles (one of our favorite patterns) have markings much like a Doberman Pinscher. We started our program with a black and tan phantom girl and have included them since inception.
We produce phantoms in black and brown with points ranging from nearly white to almost red.
Parti
Parti poodles, named for their partial white coat, can come in every color poodles can, though we only produce black and brown. Our program usually produces this pattern where at least 50% of the dog's fur is white.
There are also abstract poodles who have white fur patches that make up less than 50% of the dog's coat. We do not produce very many abstract poodles.
Phantom Parti (Tri)
Phantom parti poodles, commonly referred to as "tri colored", are parti poodles with phantom markings. This pattern is my personal favorite and we have spent many years pairing pooches that will produce it.
As with the phantoms, our tris have points ranging from nearly white to almost red though we tend to produce puppies with dark tan points.
Merle
We will not get into the controversy surrounding this pattern here. For our stance, please see Question 4 on our FAQs page.
This pattern is gorgeous! While the merle gene can exist in all poodle colors, it is most visually appealing in darker colored dogs and can "hide" in lighter colored ones.
The puppy pictured is a solid merle, even though she appears to have some white because of the marbling.
Merle Parti
Parti merles, as the name suggests, are poodles with substantial white areas on their coats. The merle pattern doesn't present itself on the white portion leaving only the darker colored portion the signature monochromatic coloring.
We have produced several parti merles in the past in black and brown parti and they are showstoppers.
Merle Phantom
If merle partis are showstoppers, phantom merles are BOMBSHELLS! This spectacular combination is, in our opinion, to die for. Like the phantoms, Mythos' phantom merles can have points varying from nearly white to almost red with our preference being dark tan.
Some poodles have the merle pattern in their points but we strive to produce puppies with clean points creating a much more dramatic visual effect.
Merle Phantom Parti (Tri)
Finally, we have the best of both worlds. Merle tris are parti with phantom points. We have produced this color combination in the past and it is amazingly beautiful.
This pattern is the only pattern in which we strive to only produce tan points or darker as the contrast between the points and the white parti portion of the coat is perfection.
