Sheepadoodles, the charming crossbreed between a Poodle and an Old English Sheepdog, exhibit a delightful array of coat colors that captivate dog enthusiasts worldwide. I’m going to take you on a journey of “color change” of all the sheepadoodles! If you are interested in one, just know that you’ll keep asking yourself and other sheepadoodle owners, “Has your sheepadoodle turned yet?!” Sometimes, that phrase reminds me of a vampire movie where we keep wondering if and when the bitten person would turn into a vampire! BUTTT, this “turn” is way more adorable!
This exquisite Kingston is not a sheepadoode, but an Old English Sheepdog! He’s changed his color and is a cream/white color at the age of four years old. It’s crazy to imagine that they would change that much! If you have a brown sheepadoodle, expect the changes to be similar to this.

Brown Sheepadoodle
Abstract Sheepadoodle
From the classic and elegant Black Sheepadoodles to the warm and affectionate Apricot ones, the palette is as diverse as it is charming. This F1 sheepadoodle is a curly mostly black sheepadoodle. Out of all his siblings, he started turning silver gray, but mostly only at the tips! Imagine having your hair perfectly frosted without ever going to the salon?! What a dream 🙂
Mini Merle Sheepadoodle
This is Sir Raleigh. He is a mini Merle Sheepadoodle. His mom is an Old English Sheepdog and his dad is mini Merle Poodle weighing in at only 12 lbs! Raleigh was expected to be 35-50lbs and he’s 35 lbs exactly at one year old.
His colors haven’t changed much, except we don’t see much of his browns anymore and he’s a beautiful swirls of gray/black/white with a big white head. His features definitely resemble an Old English Sheepdog.
Black/White Tuxedo Sheepadoodles
From the classic and elegant Black Sheepadoodles to the warm and affectionate Apricot ones, the palette is as diverse as it is charming. These lovable companions can also boast rich Chocolate, striking Silver, playful Parti, and rare Merle coats, each adding a unique touch to their already endearing personality. Whether you’re drawn to the sophistication of a Blue Sheepadoodle or the gentle allure of a Cream variant, these furry friends bring a rainbow of joy to the world of canine companionship. This pair of siblings are JuJu and Lucky! They have the most traditional sheepadoodle appearance with their white fluffy heads and black bodies. Don’t you just want to cuddle with these two?
It is hard to determine exactly when your sheepadoodle will change their color. Some sheepadoodles will have a complete change at 6 months, while others take a whole year or even two!
Brindle Sheepadoodle
Brindle sheepadoodles don’t come around too often! This is an F1B Sheepadoodle. His mom is a sheepadoodle and his dad is an Apricot Standard Poodle. Although he may start with dark stripes of brown and black; those will eventually fade and for him, he has completely grayed after 2 years! I don’t have experiences with other brindles, so we are excited to see how other brindle sheepadoodles of the world are turning out.
