Mini Goldendoodle Colors: A Guide to Teddy Bear Mini Goldendoodle Coat colors.

At Cedar Doodles, our Teddy Bear Mini Goldendoodle puppies come in a stunning variety of colors, each with its own unique charm! From rich reds to striking merles, these lovable, affectionate pups display an incredible range of coat shades and patterns.

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.

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.

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!
