Color Patterns
In addition to solid colors, Goldendoodles can come in a variety of patterns:

Factors That Influence Color
A Goldendoodle’s color depends on the genetic combination of its parents. Other factors that may influence color include:
Generations: First-generation (F1) Goldendoodles tend to have more predictable colors, while later generations may have a greater variety.
Size: Standard-sized Goldendoodles tend to have a wider color range than mini or toy Goldendoodles.
