Let’s explore the beautiful colors and patterns Mini Goldendoodles can have and what makes each one so special!
Mini Goldendoodle Colors & Patterns
Mini Goldendoodles inherit their coat colors from their Poodle and Golden Retriever lineage, leading to a variety of shades and patterns. Some are solid-colored, while others feature abstract markings like white patches, spots, or phantom shading. Here’s a breakdown of the most common Teddy Bear Mini Goldendoodle colors:
Let's start off with the most sought after color. The red mini goldendoodle

Red Mini Goldendoodle
A rich, deep red coat is one of the most sought-after colors in Mini Goldendoodles. This color gives the puppy a classic, vibrant look, often resembling a teddy bear! Red Goldendoodles may have a solid coat or come with white abstract markings on their paws, chest, or face.
A combination of red with white markings, this color pattern creates a stunning contrast. These puppies have a base red coat with white patches on their chest, paws, or even the tip of their tail, giving them an adorable, eye-catching look.
Tan Goldendoodles have a lighter, golden brown coat, sometimes resembling a creamy caramel shade. This color can range from warm honey to soft beige, making them an elegant and charming choice.
Similar to red and white, this coat color features a tan base with white markings on the chest, paws, and face. The combination gives them a soft, gentle appearance while still highlighting their adorable markings.
White Mini Goldendoodles have a pure, snowy coat that gives them a regal and fluffy look. Some white puppies may have creamy undertones, making them even more unique. Their light coat makes them especially photogenic!
This is a rarer color combination where a white Mini Goldendoodle has black spots or markings. Their unique coloring makes them stand out, offering a striking and sophisticated appearance.

Phantom Mini Goldendoodles have a two-toned coat, with a darker base color (such as black, chocolate, or red) and lighter markings above their eyes, on their chest, legs, and under their tail. This pattern gives them a distinctive, expressive look similar to certain Bernedoodles or Dobermans.

This unique variation is a mix between the phantom and abstract coat patterns. These puppies have phantom markings with additional white patches, giving them an even more striking and artistic look.

One of the most striking and unique coat patterns, Merle Goldendoodles have a base color (such as tan, red, or chocolate) with a marbled, mottled effect of darker or lighter patches. This coat pattern is truly eye-catching and rare, making them a highly sought-after variation.
Parti-Colored Mini Goldendoodle
Another stunning coat variation in Mini Goldendoodles is the parti-colored pattern. Parti Goldendoodles have a coat that is more than 50% white, combined with another color such as red, tan, black, or chocolate. This beautiful and rare pattern is the result of the piebald gene, which causes large white patches to appear on the puppy’s coat. No two parti-colored Goldendoodles are exactly alike, as their markings are unique and randomly distributed. This distinct color variation gives them a fun, eye-catching look, making them a popular choice for families who want a truly one-of-a-kind Mini Goldendoodle. At Cedar Doodles, we love the charm and individuality of parti-colored puppies and are proud to offer this rare and beautiful coat pattern!
The Rufus Gene: How Mini Goldendoodle Coats Can Darken Over Time
One fascinating trait found in some Mini Goldendoodles is the Rufus gene, which can cause their coat to darken as they grow. Puppies born with lighter shades of red, tan, or apricot may develop richer, deeper hues over time due to this unique genetic trait. The Rufus gene enhances pigmentation, giving Goldendoodles a warm, vibrant tone as they mature. This means that a light apricot puppy may transform into a deep golden red as an adult! If you love the idea of a Mini Goldendoodle with a dynamic, ever-changing coat, a puppy with the Rufus gene could be the perfect choice for you. At Cedar Doodles, we celebrate these stunning coat transformations, ensuring every puppy is as unique as the family they join!
