Our Most Requested Coat Traits

Across our Goldendoodles, Bernedoodles, and Cavapoos, families often ask for low shedding, soft texture, rich color, and standout markings.

Coat Colors & Markings

These are the visual traits families notice first: rich color, white markings, parti patterns, tricolor, and merle.

Red Abstract

Rich red coloring with white accents like a blaze, chest, boots, or tuxedo markings.

White Blaze Tuxedo

Chocolate

Chocolate comes from the B locus and is harder to achieve, making it one of our most desirable coat colors.

B Locus Chocolate

Red Chocolate

Warm red tones with chocolate pigment and soft cocoa undertones from harder-to-achieve B locus genetics.

Red Tone Chocolate Pigment

Red Parti

A mostly white coat with warm red patches. Parti coloring is eye-catching, joyful, and highly requested.

Parti Red & White

Tricolor

Classic Bernedoodle coloring with dark pigment, tan points, and white markings.

Bernedoodle Tri

Tricolor Merle

Striking and high demand when bred responsibly. We do not do unsafe merle-to-merle pairings.

Coat Texture & Shedding Traits

Color is the look. Curl gene, texture, and shedding status are the traits that affect how a puppy’s coat feels, grows, and lives in a family home.

Curly Coat

Curly coats have the most Poodle-like texture and are commonly associated with lower shedding.

Wavy Coat

Wavy coats are soft, classic, and one of the most requested doodle coat types.

Straight Teddy Coat

Straight coats create that plush teddy-bear look and are harder to produce while still maintaining minimal shedding.

TT Low Shed

TT shedding status is highly desirable because it supports low-to-non shedding, hypoallergenic coats with a silky soft feel families love.

TT Low Shed Silky Soft

Straight Does Not Mean High Shedding

A straight coat does not automatically mean a puppy will shed more. Coat texture and shedding status are separate pieces of the genetic picture. When we produce straight coats, they are typically minimal shedding, and most families would be surprised to see much shedding at all.

Markings Families Ask About

Small white details can make a puppy feel extra special. Here are a few common terms families hear from us.

Angel kiss white marking on doodle puppy forehead

Angel Kiss A tiny touch of white on the top of the head or forehead.

White blaze marking on doodle puppy face

Blaze A white stripe running down the face, often between the eyes.

White boots markings on doodle puppy paws

Boots White feet or legs that look like little socks or boots.

Tuxedo white chest marking on doodle puppy

Tuxedo A bold white chest, often with white feet and facial markings.

Why Some Traits Carry More Value

Some combinations are harder to achieve. TT shedding status, straight coats with minimal shedding, chocolate, red chocolate, red abstract, red parti, tricolor, and tricolor merle can require generations of planning and careful pairing. When several of these traits come together, demand is naturally higher and those puppies can command a higher price.

Coat texture, color, markings, and shedding potential can often be predicted strongly through genetic testing, parent traits, and breeder experience, but they can never be guaranteed with absolute certainty.
