Do Sheepadoodle Colors Change Over Time?
Yes! Many Sheepadoodle puppies are born with darker colors that fade over time due to their Poodle genetics.
Common Sheepadoodle Coat Color Changes:
- Black puppies may turn gray or silver.
- Sable Sheepadoodles lighten as they grow.
- Chocolate-colored coats may fade into a lighter brown or café-au-lait shade.
This transformation is natural and adds to the beauty of their ever-evolving coat!
Which Sheepadoodle Color is the Rarest?
The rarest Sheepadoodle colors and coat patterns include:
- Blue Merle Sheepadoodle
- Brown Merle Sheepadoodle
- Tri-Color Sheepadoodle
- Sable Sheepadoodle
- Phantom Sheepadoodle
These coat colors are less common because they require specific genetic traits from both parent breeds.
