My neighbor has a Standard poodle (He's very poorly bred though, He's white with black spots which I believe is a fault)

My standard poodle is also white with black spots (well technically he has 'blue' spots) - he is purebred and pedigreed from hunting lines. It is not a fault, it is called "parti-colored" poodle which is what the original colored poodles were 100 years ago or more before breeders and the kennel clubs started culling the bi-colored pups in favor of the solid-colored poodles that are more prevalent today. The parti-colored poodle has been making a comeback in recent years. Unfortunately the parti-colored poodles can't be shown in the AKC or CKC (Canadian Kennel Club), so my boy is registered with the UKC.

But yeah, they are fun dogs, extremely agile, athletic, goofy and fun-loving.
