Someone told me that if a poodle is not one solid color hes mixed with another breeds. So if a poodle is white with black spots he's mixed. Is that true?

Color
The coat is an even and solid color at the skin. In blues, grays, silvers, browns, cafe-au-laits, apricots and creams the coat may show varying shades of the same color. This is frequently present in the somewhat darker feathering of the ears and in the tipping of the ruff. While clear colors are definitely preferred, such natural variation in the shading of the coat is not to be considered a fault. Brown and cafe-au-lait Poodles have liver-colored noses, eye-rims and lips, dark toenails and dark amber eyes. Black, blue, gray, silver, cream and white Poodles have black noses, eye-rims and lips, black or self colored toenails and very dark eyes. In the apricots while the foregoing coloring is preferred, liver-colored noses, eye-rims and lips, and amber eyes are permitted but are not desirable. Major fault: color of nose, lips and eye-rims incomplete, or of wrong color for color of dog.
Parti-colored dogs shall be disqualified. The coat of a parti-colored dog is not an even solid color at the skin but is of two or more colors.

No that's not always true.I work at dog show and we also have 3 standard poodles as well as 2 miniature.We have 1 silver poodle that is only 9 months right now and she is silver n black but by 2 yrs old she will b full silver.Sometimes they do get a spot or 2 with discolouration.In the shows they use things like waterproof mascara to colour in the spots to even the colour out.SShhh if the judged where to know this u can get thrown out of the ring.lol...Most likely thought if it's older then 2 n there r some really noticeable spots it's prob mixed.

White with black spots? Probably mixed. There is a new and disturbing genetic 'flaw' that some breeders are exploiting that causes grey and beige poodles with marking similar to a doberman or rottweiler called 'parti' poodles. But spots? Doesn't sound good.

Poodles come in many colors and can be 2 colors also. Google Poodle color and you can find pics to look at.

That's not true. An AKC poodle can be 2 colors. It isn't desirable for show, but that doesn't mean that it's mixed. 2 different colors is called parti-colored.

Pure bred poodles can be more than one colour, it simply the fact that the breed standard does not allow dogs to be of more than one colour. I have owned 3 pure bred tan pointed poodles (like dobermann markings) and I am just importing one from Germany. Here is a picture of him at 5 weeks old.

No it is not true. Poodles can be more then one color. Parti-colors though are disqualified from showing in conformation. They aren't considered an allowable color.
