The Australian Labradoodle:
A Prism of Coat Colors

The Australian Labradoodle comes in a variety of colors and patterns. Each combination is beautiful in its unique expression. Lighting can change the colors, with the summer sun often causing the outer coat to shine in lighter shades. Silvering or graying may also give the coat a distinctive look. Coats can also undergo a slight to dramatic softening in color over the years.

​Despite all the stunning medleys, there are four basic Australian Labradoodle colorations: black, chocolate, caramel (yellow with chocolate pigment), and cream/red (yellow with black pigment).
