It might be tricky trying to predict the color of a Labradoodle pup, as this is greatly determined by their genetics. Labrador Retriever Colors Labrador Retrievers usually come in all solid colors. Most common ones include yellow, black, chocolate, red, white, and silver. Some of the more rare Labrador Retriever colors are, in fact, color combinations. These include black with white markings on the chest, black and tan, or brindle. The most common colors we see on Poodles are black, blue, silver, gray, white, brown, cream, apricot, silver beige, red, and cafe au lait. Additionally, some Poodles can also come in a variety of color combinations like black and brown, black and tan, black and apricot, black and cream, brown and apricot, brown and white, and many others. Labradoodle Color Chart Labradoodles come in all shapes and sizes, coat types, and colors. Apricot Labradoodles have a rich colored coat resembling the inside of a ripe apricot. Hence the name apricot Labradoodle. Apricot Labradoodles usually have a black nose and their hair color is typically the same throughout the coat. However, apricot Labradoodles may change color over time. Some pups fade lighter as they age and some are born with a cream coat that becomes darker over time. A red Labradoodle falls in a similar tone category as an apricot Labradoodle, but they have a much richer pigment and a distinctive red hue to their coat. Similarly to apricot Labradoodles, red Labradoodles might fade over time, which often results in a tan Labradoodle. Black Labradoodle A black Labradoodle comes in a solid all black coat with no other colored markings. Black Labradoodles also have black noses, black paw cushions, and eyes. On the other hand, like many other Labradoodle colors, pups who have a black coat may fade lighter into a more gray-ish tone over time. Chocolate Labradoodle a. Brown Labradoodle The chocolate Labradoodle is a rich brown Labradoodle. Chocolate Labradoodles can come with either brown eyes, or much more rare blue eyes. Their nose is typically brown or has a rose-y hue. As chocolate Labradoodles are so popular, it might be harder to get your hands on one. Cream Labradoodle a. Tan Labradoodle Cream Labradoodles have the signature beige-colored Doodle coat. The shade can vary in darkness and sometimes even have some gold or apricot markings on the face or paws. Their nose is usually black or dark brown. As their hair darkness can vary, cream Labradoodles are also often referred to as tan Labradoodles. Blue Labradoodle Blue Labradoodles are one of the more rare options out there. They are usually born with a black coat and as they age, they turn into a more gray-ish, smoky blue tone. During their first year from birth, their coat will change to match their skin tone. Their nose pigment is usually blue or gray that matches the skin. Most commonly, blue Labradoodles have brown eyes, but there are also the super rare, yet super gorgeous blue Labradoodles with blue eyes. Silver Labradoodle a. Gray Labradoodle Silver Labradoodles are very similar to blue Labradoodles. The silver can range anywhere from very light gray to dark charcoal color. Similarly to blue Labradoodles, silver Labradoodles are usually born with a much darker coat color. As they become older, their true coat color will start to appear. Again, this Labradoodle color is more of a rarity, and you should expect to pay more for a silver Labradoodle. For instance, a brown and white Labradoodle is considered parti, as they have a white base color with large blotches of brown throughout the coat. Of course, parti Labradoodles can also have other colors instead of brown, such as apricot, black, blue, or silver. Achieving a parti Labradoodle requires a ton of DNA testing to make sure the right genes are present. Therefore, this is again a more rare Labradoodle color. Black and White Labradoodle a. Tuxedo Labradoodle A tuxedo Labradoodle or black and white Labradoodle has a solid black base with white patches on the chest and neck. As you might guess, the white patches form a tuxedo-like pattern. Although there are also parti black and white Labradoodles, the tuxedo pattern is usually what people refer to. When it comes to Labradoodles, the black and white tuxedo pattern is rather difficult to achieve, making it another rare Labradoodle pattern. Sable Labradoodle Sable Labradoodles are usually born with a dark coat that lightens as the puppies start reaching adulthood. Once adults, sable Labradoodles have a solid base color, typically cream, apricot, or tan, with darker tips at the ends of the hair. Some pups keep the dark tips, while others outgrow them completely. However, sometimes their ears stay darker. Again, this is a more rare Labradoodle color, which might be more difficult to come across. Merle Labradoodles can come in a variety of shades. Some merles have blues, grays, and silvers, while others have chocolate, red, apricot, and cream. They have a solid base color with speckled patches of diluted colors throughout the coat. Phantom Labradoodle Phantom Labradoodles have a dominant base color, such as black or brown with lighter markings of another color on the face, chest, legs, and paws. The phantom Labradoodle comes with a distinctive pattern, where markings are placed above the eyes and around the muzzle. Abstract Labradoodle Abstract Labradoodles are very similar to parti Labradoodles. But with one exception. There are various color combinations possible, but the most common ones include white and brown, white and tan, or black and white Labradoodle. Brindle Labradoodle Brindle Labradoodles have a stripe pattern all across their body, which resembles much of a tiger. The darker color is more prominent while the lighter highlighted stripes are present all throughout the coat. Like many other Doodles, Labradoodles often change color or fade as they reach adulthood. Usually, Labradoodle puppies change color during their first year from birth. The fading or clearing is usually more prevalent in darker colored Labradoodles like black, brown, or chocolate. You can typically expect a black Labradoodle to fade into silver, blue, or gray tones. Chocolate Labradoodles tend to become tan, cream, or silver as they age. Behavioral problems usually stem from improper or inconsistent training. If your pup is acting up, we recommend you get in touch with a professional dog trainer or try an online puppy school. Having said that, there is a link between certain health problems and the merle gene. Merle Labradoodles have a slightly increased risk of blindness and deafness. For this reason, ethical breeders never cross two merle Labradoodles, as this can greatly increase the chance of complications. It all comes down to your personal preferences and which Labradoodle colors you prefer. All Labradoodles have a similar temperament and each of them comes with a unique personality. In addition to that, ethical breeders place their puppies into homes based on their temperament and personality to find the best forever home for each puppy. After all, the most important thing is that your new companion fits your lifestyle and household. Labradoodles often carry the fading gene, which is inherited from the Poodle parent. If your puppy is carrying the fading gene, they will most likely become lighter and fade as they start nearing adulthood. Black Labradoodles usually fade into silver or blue tones, whereas chocolate Labradoodles fade into more creamy, tan, and beige tones. The only way to determine whether or not your Labradoodle will change color is by DNA testing. The rarest Labradoodle colors are actually different color combinations and patterns. These include the parti Labradoodle, merle Labradoodle, phantom, tuxedo, sable, abstract, and brindle. In solid Labradoodle colors, the red Labradoodle is the rarest of them all. There are so many beautiful solid Labradoodle colors like chocolate, cream, apricot, and black. And then there are the rarity options like sable, merle, parti, and phantom. What makes it so difficult is that they all look absolutely adorable in their own, unique way. We hope this guide has given you a great overview of all the different Labradoodle colors and coat patterns. Parents of Labradoodles: What color is your Labradoodle and did they change color as they aged? Let us know in the comments below! Avoid making the mistake of choosing the wrong Doodle temperament for your family, lifestyle, or current living situation. Contact Us Labradoodle Colors Australian Labradoodle coat colors colours come in a wide variety of options. Below is a listing of the different coat colors, coloring descriptions and what to expect with their coats throughout their lifetime. Caramel Caramel colored dogs have liver noses brown. Their range of coat color can vary between light yellow to almost red in hue. The difference in a caramel dog and a chalk, cream, apricot and red dog is their nose color. Chocolate True chocolates are brown in color. Many chocolates do fade over time. Cream This color comes in a wide variety of shades but it should be creamy in appearance. The nose pigment is black. The pigment for the nose is black. Parchment This color is a creamy beige chocolate color. It has been described as a cup of coffee with a generous addition of milk. These dogs are born milk chocolate and will develop their parchment coloring over time. The nose pigment is rose. Red True reds should be rich and dark in color and the roots should be no lighter. Sadly, this coat color tends to fade over time. The nose color is to be black. This color develops over the first years. Nose pigment should be rose. Chalk This color is a white looking color. However, if you were to compare it to a true white, it would appear to be more chalk-white in color. Nose pigment is black. Black Black Labradoodles should be solid in color with no sprinklings of other colors throughout the coat. Their pigment color should be black. Silver These pups would start out black and their silver coloring develops over the first few years of their lives. The color range can be anywhere from a light pewter to a dark charcoal. Silver dogs need to have black pigmentation. The blue coat will develop over the first few years. The color should be solid once they are full grown. It should be a dark-medium smoky blue. Lavender This color has a smoky lavender chocolate coloring that almost gives off a pink to lilac appearance. These pups are born chocolate and will come into their beautiful lavender coats over the first few years. Their pigmentation should be rose in color. Parti These dogs need to be at least fifty percent white, with spots or patches of any other above solid color. Full or partial saddles are acceptable, but are not preferred. Ticking in the white of the coat is acceptable but not preferred. The nose pigment needs to match the solid color. Any combination of acceptable colors is allowed. Nose pigment should follow requirements listed above based on the solid base color.

Tweet on Twitter This complete guide to the silver Labradoodle has everything you need to know about the coat, health and temperament of a Labrador Poodle mix with shimmering grey fur. The description silver Labradoodle can reasonably be applied to dogs in several genetically distinct colors. The exact type of silver Doodle dog you pick may even affect how trainable they are, and how often they get sick. What is a Silver Labradoodle? Silver Labradoodle is a surprisingly ambiguous term! It sounds like it could mean any light grey Labradoodle, right? And that is indeed how a lot of people use it. And if so, which one! Silver Labs Part of the problem is that silver Labrador Retrievers and silver Poodles are very specifically defined colors, but they are not the same color. A silver Labrador is a brown dog with a dilute coat. That is, they possess two copies of a recessive dilution gene, which suppresses pigment production in their fur. Since the dilution gene is recessive, a Labrador must inherit a copy from both of their parents for it to take effect. Silver Labradors are born silver colored. Silver Poodles On the other hand, a silver Poodle is a black dog with two copies of a progressive greying gene. The progressive greying gene is incompletely dominant, which means that Poodles only need to inherit one copy from one parent in order for it to take effect. Different versions of the gene behave more and less powerfully as well, depending on their exact molecular structure. So there is a scale of possible color outcomes for fading Poodles, depending on how many copies of the greying gene they inherit, and how powerful each copy is. The bright platinum color described by the Poodle community as silver is the most extreme possibility. So it is likely that all silver Poodles have two copies of the greying gene and powerful ones at that! Other shades of grey On top of all this, there are other shades of grey in both breeds, which owners or observers without an interest in the finer details of color inheritance might also casually describe as silver. What cross produces silver Labradoodles? Someone using the term silver Labradoodle could mean a black or brown coat that is either: dilute faded by the progressive greying gene or both! They are all legitimate combinations. But, some are limited to particular Labradoodle generations. On the other hand, 2nd, 3rd, or multigen Labradoodles can express color dilution, progressive fading or even both, depending on their ancestry! To tell them apart, remember that dogs with color dilution are born already dilute, and dogs with the progressive greying gene start densely pigmented, and fade as they mature. To distinguish between dilute or faded coats with either a black or brown base, you might also come across the terms silver blue Labradoodle black-based dilution or fading or a silver beige Labradoodle brown-based dilution or fading. Why is my chocolate Labradoodle turning silver? They were born densely pigmented, but now the greying gene is starting to take effect, and their coat is clearing. This process starts around 6 weeks old, and takes up to two years to complete. Are silver Labradoodles rare? The genetic balance of probabilities is not stacked against them! This means the availability of silver Labradoodle puppies is driven partly by trends, and demand. Beware of breeders who tell you that a silver coat is rare, and use it to justify a silver Labradoodle cost. Silver Australian Labradoodles Australian Labradoodles are a multigenerational breeding project to turn Labradoodles into a new pedigree dog in their own right. Despite, or perhaps because of, all the ways a Labradoodle can inherit a coat that can be described as silver, none of the officially recognized colors for Australian Labradoodles are known as silver. The closest equivalent is lavender, which is a brown coat with the fading gene. Silver Labradoodle temperament So there are several different ways that grey Labradoodle puppies for sale can end up being described as silver. But do any of them make a difference to their personality? Is one kind of silver Doodle any friendlier or more trainable than another? At the time of writing, there is no known direct genetic link between coat color and temperament. But, an indirect link has developed in some Labrador breeding lines, which could also be reflected in their Labradoodle offspring. Among Labrador Retrievers, black Labs are traditionally much preferred for working gundog roles. As far as we know, black color and working aptitude are genetically independent of each other, but for many generations breeders have gone out of their way to select in favor of both together. Today, this means chocolate Labs are more likely to be described as agitated when ignored, excitable and scared of loud noise than black Labs, and less likely to be described as trainable. These traits could be reflected in a silver beige Labradoodle from chocolate Labrador lines, compared to a silver blue Labradoodle from black Labrador lines. But, there are so many other influences at work such as the individual temperament of both parents, the training they receive from an early age, the amount of physical exercise they get that it would be nearly impossible to quantify exactly how much impact coming from brown Lab lines has had. What you can be sure of is that your Labradoodle will be smart, energetic, and people-focussed. Silver Labradoodle Health Next, what about health? Labs and Standard Poodles are remarkably similar in terms of overall health and life expectancy. They both live for around 12 years on average, and during their lifetime the most common health problems they have are: Hip dysplasia Joint problems in the knees and elbows Thyroid disease Ear infections Autoimmune skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis and sebaceous adenitis Choosing a puppy from health tested parents is the best way to beat avoidable health problems like these. But yet again, the poor chocolate Lab is likely to compare unfavorably to their black and yellow cousins. Health studies of Labradors indicate that chocolate colored dogs are diagnosed with ear infections and dermatitis more frequently than black and yellow dogs, and live on average one year less. Chocolate Labs used to breed silver or silver beige Labradoodle puppies could pass these vulnerabilities on to their puppies. Your Silver Labradoodle Puppy So there you have it — one silver Doodle dog may not be strictly the same color as the next, and silver Doodles from chocolate Labrador parents may have a markedly different temperaments, health profile and lifespan too. If you already have a silver Labradoodle, please tell us about them in the comments box down below! Were they silver when you picked them up, or did they fade as they matured? More Labradoodle Photos And Resources. We already know that the silver Labradoodle is a beautiful dog just by the sound of his name! If you have your sights set on the silver Labradoodle, then this article is for you. What Is A Silver Labradoodle? The silver Labradoodle as the name suggests, is a Labradoodle that has a grey or silver coat. Sometimes known as a grey Labradoodle, the silver Labradoodle is a mixed breed, crossed between a purebred Labrador Retriever and a purebred Poodle. Importantly, both the silver Labradoodle parents must be carriers of the recessive silver-haired gene. It all comes down to genetics. Well, not just genetics. There is also a bit of chance thrown in. You see, Labradoodle colors can vary quite a bit. For example, the purebred Labrador comes in three standard colors: chocolate, black, and yellow. The Poodle also comes in three colors: white, black, and apricot. As we said, the gene that makes a silver Labradoodle silver is a recessive gene. This means both parent breeds must carry and pass on this recessive gene in order for their offspring to inherit a silver coat color. If either purebred parent passes on a dominant gene to their Labradoodle offspring instead, then the dominant gene will win. As a result your Labradoodle will not be silver. So, just how rare is the silver Labradoodle? Is the Silver Labradoodle Rare? While not completely uncommon, the Silver Doodle could be considered one of the rarer doodle crosses in regard to coat color, especially since the genes that create this shade are recessive. These foundation colors are the root of any and all colors that stem from them. Both doggy parents of your Silver Doodle will have to carry and then pass on the recessive genes that make the silver coat color. This is because, dominant genes are, well, dominant! They will win out over recessive genes. As we mentioned above, the Labradoodle is a cross between the Labrador Retriever and the Poodle. This is a mix between two intelligent, affectionate, and energetic breeds who also both happen to be family favorites around the globe! The combination of the two has led to overwhelming popularity in the Labradoodle mix. On the other hand, figuring out how to get a silver Labradoodle can be a bit trickier. Silver Labradoodle genetics, as we discussed, mean that both the Labrador Retriever and the Poodle need to carry and pass on the recessive genes that lead to silver coats. There are silver Labs and Labradoodles who turn out silver due to both their parent breeds carrying the gene. So, it is possible. To get a Silver Labradoodle, most experts recommend going through reputable breeders who specialize in the color and who are also careful not to sacrifice the quality of their pups. We will touch more on how you can go about finding responsible breeders for the silver Labradoodle further down. The Labrador, for example, has a dense, double-layered coat that sheds often, lies flat to his skin, and is weather resistant. The Poodle, on the other hand, has a thick, curly coat that sheds much less and produces less allergy-inducing dander, making him an excellent choice for those who suffer from allergies. Unfortunately, there is no way to determine what type of coat you are going to get with the first-generation crossbreed like a Labradoodle, and this is one of the reasons that the practice can be somewhat controversial. However, for the most part, grooming your Labradoodle is going to require consistent brushing to keep mats and tangles at bay as well as occasional baths. But what about the silver Labradoodle? Will grooming maintenance be more difficult? The only thing that may be different when it comes to grooming a silver Labradoodle is that lighter colored dogs can be more prone to tear staining and can show dirt easier. Your Labradoodle will also need to have his nails trimmed or ground down regularly. This will keep them from breaking or cracking. Additionally his floppy ears will need to be checked and cleaned often. This will keep water and debris from building up and causing ear infections. The silver Labradoodle size will typically depend on the size of his parent breeds. Again, it is all up to genetics and chance. On average, the Labrador Retriever stands around .The Poodle, on the other hand, comes in three sizes: standard, miniature, and toy. Your typical Labradoodle is a cross between the Standard Poodle, who is 15 inches or taller and weights 40 to 70 pounds, or a miniature Poodle, who is 10 to 15 inches and weighs only 10 to 15 pounds. So, how do you prepare yourself? If at all possible, the best way to get an idea of just how big your silver Labradoodle puppy will get will be to find out how big his parents are. Is your Silver Labradoodle going to be shiny and silver like his name suggests? In some cases, yes! A quick Google Images search will show you a variation of silver and grey Labradoodle shades, and they are all beautiful. However, not all silver Labradoodles are going to share the same shade, pattern, or even coat type. Some silver Labradoodles will be lighter than others and some will be darker. Others will have patches of different colors on their chest or paws. However, for the most part, your Silver Labradoodle will have a silverfish coat that can be pale or deep charcoal. He will also have floppy ears, brown eyes, a dark nose, and a long tail. Lifespan and Health Concerns for A Silver Labradoodle Since the Silver Labradoodle is a crossbreed, determining any specific health concerns is going to be difficult. We should note that there is some debate regarding crossbreeds and whether or not they are healthier than purebreds. With that being said, we think it is best to do your research whenever you are preparing to get a new dog or puppy. We also recommend that you have your silver Labradoodle health screened. Some of the most common health issues your Labradoodle could face will be those that affect his parent breeds. The Labrador, for example, is most prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, obesity, Bloat, ear infections, and heart disease. The Poodle can be most prone to progressive retinal atrophy, epilepsy, thyroid issues, hypoglycemia, collapsed trachea, Bloat, hip dysplasia, and elbow dysplasia. If you are worried about your Silver Labrador suffering any of the above inheritable health issues you can always have him health screened. Keep in mind that reputable breeders will have already health screened their litters. They will be able to provide you with certificates proving that your puppy is healthy and ready to go home with you. What is the Silver Labradoodle Temperament Like? Labrador Retrievers are friendly and outgoing while Poodles are athletic and proud. Both breeds are affectionate and eager to please and will need plenty of exercise every day to stay happy and healthy. Best of all, both breeds are incredibly intelligent! With that being said, you can expect your silver Labradoodle to share many of these wonderful traits. He is surely going to be a family-friendly dog who does excellent with children and enjoys partaking in any family activity or outing he is invited on! However, a prospective owner should note that the silver Labradoodle comes from two parent breeds with hunting pasts. As a result, he could be prone to taking off after squirrels or rabbits just out of instinct. This crossbreed will be the safest walking on a leash and will thrive in homes with owners who are able to offer him a good, long walk each day and lots of free play time in a securely fenced backyard. The silver Labradoodle is also going to be a social dog who will enjoy the company of his family. A lonely Labradoodle or a Labradoodle who is not consistently trained, socialized, and exercised can become bored, depressed, and even destructive. If you are in the market for a family-friendly dog who is as clever as he is adorable, then the silver Labradoodle may just be the perfect match for you! However, keep in mind that the silver Labradoodle is harder to find than many other colored Labradoodles, so finding him may take some research and patience. You should also remember that this crossbreed requires plenty of daily exercise. He will do best in homes with owners who can offer him loads of attention, socialization, training, and love. Choosing A Silver Labradoodle Puppy To find the healthiest silver Labradoodle puppy possible, we suggest doing plenty of research and making sure you go through a reputable source. If you plan on going through a breeder, remember that most responsible breeders will have health screened their puppies. They should be able to offer you certificates proving they are healthy. However, if you would prefer to rescue your silver Labradoodle, you may have to exercise some patience. We hope this article has helped you decide if this beautiful crossbreed would be right for you! Do you see a silver Labradoodle in your future? Tell us in the comments! And read about other interesting colored breeds like the white English Bulldog, here! When Labrador and Poodle coat genetics collide, the range of possibilities is exciting and unpredictable. In fact, in addition to being one of the most popular designer dogs, Labradoodles are also one of the most colorful canines. Labradoodles are offspring of the Labrador Retriever and a Poodle. Labradors are officially recognized in 3 standard colors and the Poodle comes in a whopping 10 standard colors. Together they can combine to make an array of different Labradoodle shades! Changing Labradoodle Colors To make things even more interesting, a Doodle puppy can be born one color, and change to another color as he grows up. In fact, Labradoodles are notorious for having coats that change color or fade as they get older. If you notice that the rich coat of your Labradoodle puppy is lighter or even a different color as he matures, this is due to the genetic influence of the Poodle. Coat Color Genetics Puppies get coat color genes from both parents. For example, the most common gene for a black coat is dominant, and the gene for a brown coat is recessive. When a dog inherits them both, the recessive brown gene is masked by the effect of the dominant black gene. But they can still pass their gene for a brow coat onto their puppies. This is how the Labradoodle offspring of a Lab and a Poodle can have so many surprising colors, which may not match either parent. Pigments in Labradoodle Coats Even though Doodles come in many colors, one of the most remarkable things about them is that they are all the result of just two pigments: eumelanin, which is black and pheomelanin, which is red. Black Labradoodles Black Labradoodles are one of the most popular colors of Labradoodle. They are usually produced by a black Labrador Retriever and a black Poodle. Some black Labradoodles have a white medallion or bib on their chest. Chocolate Labradoodles The chocolate Labradoodle sports a rich dark brown coat. Chocolate Labradors have a reputation for being more excitable, more agitated when ignored, and harder to train than yellow and black Labs. Chocolate Labradoodle temperament will also be influenced by their Poodle parent, and whether their Lab parent was a show or a working dog. Cream Labradoodles Not to be mistaken for white, the cream Labradoodle is slightly darker. They can be nearly yellow to almost white, and many hues in between. Besides coming in a range of shades, cream Labradoodles can have light or dark colored noses and a spectrum of different eye colors. Which means you rarely see the exact same combination twice, and each cream Labradoodle is particularly unique. White Labradoodles A white coat is the result of a lack of pigmentation in the fur. Although technically spotted, the spots of a white Labradoodle are simply so big that they overlap their entire body. Albino dogs lack the genetic instructions for making pigment at all. Golden Labradoodles The golden Labradoodle coat is also referred to as apricot because they are often the color of the inside of a ripe apricot fruit. This shade can range from light to dark orange-gold. Noses are usually black. Mating a mating a yellow Labrador with an apricot Poodle is one way of getting a golden Labradoodle. Red Labradoodles Red Labradoodles are a deep rich mahogany, thanks to the red pheomelanin pigment. The red coat gene is recessive, meaning red Labradoodles would be relatively rare if Labradoodles wild animals. But be warned — red is another color that can fade as the dog grows older. These dogs will have dark brown eyes and a black nose. Silver and Blue Labradoodles Designated as two separate colors by the ALAA, silver and blue Labradoodles are similar and unusual, as they are produced by recessive genes. Silver Labradoodles puppies are born black, and develop into shades ranging from light slate to dark charcoal. Lavender Labradoodles Lavender Labradoodles are as lovely and rare as they sound. They bear a distinctive smoky chocolate hue that gives them a sort of lilac aura. And they owe their special tint to a cocktail of two recessive coat color types — brown, and dilute. These pups are born chocolate fade to lavender as they grow older. Even the nose pigment in the dogs will be rose to match. You can get black and white Labradoodles , or even multiple color combinations. Parti Labradoodles Parti Labradoodles carry the parti gene. Nose pigment will match the solid color. Phantom Labradoodles With phantom Labradoodles the majority of the body is one solid color with distinctly defined markings of a second color above each eye, sides of the muzzle, chin, chest, paws and below the tail. They can be any two colors, but a classic variation is black with gold markings. Phantom Labradoodles are relatively unusual. Sable Labradoodles Rarer yet, is the sable Labradoodle. Brown or black-tipped hairs are found on any solid color, but these dogs are most often tan or red. So a sable Labradoodle puppy who has tan fur with black tips will become simply tan once their coat is clipped for the first time. And that might even fade to cream when they mature — a very different overall look to how they started out in life! But some puppies will be born with straight hair like the Labrador and will shed plenty. Labradoodle Colors How amazing are the coat colors of the Labradoodle? Have you chosen a favorite? Let us know in the comments below. References and Further Reading. It is a very smart dog that enjoys playing with family members. It comes from parent breeds that have a hunting background. In addition to its intelligence, this Labradoodle is very family-friendly. If you have young children, this breed is an excellent choice for a family with small children. This beautiful, intelligent dog came from a Poodle parent and was first bred as a guide dog. This means it will be a great companion and will enjoy family activities. Since it has a hunting background, it is not uncommon to see a Silver Labradoodle chasing rabbits or squirrels. The Silver color is determined by a recessive gene. Both parents must carry the recessive gene to produce a Silver Labradoodle. If neither parent carries the recessive gene, the dominant gene will take over and result in a non-Silver Labradoodle. A Labradoodle Silver dog can be either light silver or dark. A Silver coat is a rare appearance, but the breed is very common. It is often difficult to predict the exact color of a Silver Labradoodle puppy because it has an unpredictable color. The Silver Labradoodle puppies have a unique combination of genes that makes them desirable dogs. It is loyal and friendly and has a high activity level. While it has a scandal in its lineage, silver Labradoodles have traits from both parent breeds. The coat of a silver Labradoodle is a dark brown color with a little silver pigment in it. Interestingly, the fading process begins around six weeks old. Origin of the Silver Labradoodle The foundation color of a Labradoodle is determined by its parents. The Poodle and the Labrador both carry the brown and dilute genes. Silver pigmentation is caused by a recessive gene that must be carried by one parent. This recessive gene is present in both parents, and if one parent is Silver and the other is brown, the dilution gene will be dominant. The genetics of the Silver coat is not known for certainty. The presence of the dilute coat gene in a Lab makes it likely that the dog was bred with Weimaraners or another non-Labrador. Although this can be a major obstacle to producing Silver Labradoodle puppies, the American Kennel Club accepts dilute-coated Labradoodles on the register. The Silver coat gene is recessive. Therefore, both parents of a pair of Silver Labradoodles should have the dilution gene. The result would be a non-silver Labradoodle. Is the Silver Labradoodle Rare? The Silver Labradoodle is a unique and beautiful color, and it is an uncommon breed. The Silver coat is inherited from both parents. If a Poodle has a brown coat, it will pass down the genes to its offspring. If the Poodle has a dilute coat, it will pass down the genes silently. In order for a Silver Labradoodle to exist, both parents must have the gene that produces Silver color. If a parent has one recessive gene and the other has a dominant gene, the result will be non-Silver. Despite its rareness, the Silver Labradoodle is one of the most beautiful doodle crossbreeds. The Silver Labradoodle is a rare color that is not as common as other colors. Because of the lack of pigmentation, it is less common than other colors. It is a unique feature and adds dignity to the breed. The Silver Labradoodle is one of the more rare varieties of the breed. It is a hybrid, and it has a more unusual coat than any other color. Its Silver coat is caused by recessive genes, which are passed down from one parent to the other. Physical Characteristics of a Silver Labradoodle The Silver Labradoodle is a beautiful dog with a soft, luxurious coat that resembles satin. They are intelligent and sociable and are good swimmers. Here are some details about the physical characteristics of this Labradoodle Silver. Size Silver Labradoodles are small dogs that are often found in pet stores. They can grow up to .The size of a Silver Labradoodle puppy can vary between nine and eleven inches at the withers. Both males and females fall into this category. Standard-sized puppies are the largest of the three types. The size of the dog depends on the parent breed. Poodles come in 3 different sizes, i. Mostly Labradoodles are a cross between standard Poodle and Labrador Retrievers. However, the size of the parent might affect the dog.

Training Continental Bulldogs are a dog breed that is reasonably straightforward to teach. They are, nonetheless, stubborn animals, much like their forefathers. You should start teaching your Contis simple commands at a young age and be consistent and firm with your training. Exercise Continental Bulldogs require a modest degree of physical activity. Aim for 30 minutes to an hour of exercise per day. When they are indoors, though, they are rather peaceful and sedentary, making them suitable candidates for apartment living. As a result, you should expect to brush your dog once or twice a week. Final Thoughts Continental Bulldogs make excellent pets in general. If you want a bulldog, these dogs are a fantastic choice because they are less prone to health problems than other bulldog breeds. They are calm, lively, and friendly animals who make excellent friends for both children and other animals. Grooming Training Your Conti does well on quality food, whether it is prepared at home or bought from the store. The Continental Bulldog is neither a couch potato nor an overly active breed, and regularly taking it for a walk around the block would be enough for burning out its energy. Your Conti would also appreciate a little variety, for which you may take it along on your hiking trip or explore the nearby running trails. This is a shorthaired, smooth-coated dog that has low grooming needs. Fortunately for inexperienced owners, they do not have to devote much time and effort to care for its coat. To keep your Conti look its best, an all-over brushing with a firm-bristled brush once or twice a week is sufficient. You may regularly clean the wrinkles on its face with a moist cotton ball to prevent any infection caused by accumulation of food or moisture. Because of its outgoing personality, Contis are quite receptive to training and relatively easy to handle even for a beginner. As with all dogs, socialization should be started early to prevent it from becoming fearful of unfamiliar people and pets. Continental Bulldog Image.

From the role of breeders, we can influence health primarily in one way and that is the careful selection of parents of puppies.

We want our females to remain healthy and vital, so we decided the maximum for each of them are three litters. We do our best to choose the ideal families for our puppies. This way we have the opportunity to get to know each other a bit. If our visions intersect, we are happy to advise on choosing the ideal puppy especially according to the suitable character. We postpone the choice until the weeks of age of the puppies when, at least in the case of Continental Bulldogs, basic personality traits become stable and visible.

If you think you can provide a loving home for a Kelpie German Shepherd mix, then check out our list of rescue organizations below. Rescue Organizations:. German Shepherd history German Shepherds have been around since the late s, along with a handful of other working dogs in France and Italy. As a breed, it was found to be a relatively no-nonsense herding dog, with the demeanor almost of a stern nanny — it would protect its flock from outside predators, but sometimes seem like a brusque barking authoritarian. Proof that the value of the breed was highly appreciated is that during and after the Second World War, the German Shepherd disappeared for a while. The two names are still interchangeable today, although in the significantly post-war world, the name German Shepherd has lost the vast majority of its stigma. An intelligent and perhaps surprisingly good-natured breed, they are generally patient with children. Beware boredom in the Kelpie, though — either physical or mental. Bore a Kelpie and you can expect barking for attention and even the digging of random holes, simply by way of exercising the legs. Train an Australian Kelpie and it will pick up disciplines relatively easily and without too much fuss — some Australian Kelpies have been trained as rescue dogs because of their calm capability in most situations. Simple walks with plenty to see and smell will keep your Kelpie happy, as will some toys in the home environment. German Shepherd personality and temperament The temperament of the German Shepherd is mostly calm , intensely loyal to its clan or family, wary of strangers, either human or canine, and highly trainable. The breed was originally a herding animal but has proved adaptable to urban occupations, for instance with police departments, as sniffer dogs at airports, and in search and rescue operations. Exercise and stimulation will take the edge off your German Shepherd though, and let its loyalty and intelligence win through. The mix brings both the intelligence and trainability of its parent breeds forward, so you get a highly aware, hugely loyal dog that likes — in fact, that needs to have some sort of purpose to be best pleased with its life. Good with children, the Australian Kelpie German Shepherd mix has a protective streak that can be useful in a watchdog, but can also, without training, be preemptively defensive against strangers — both human and canine. Usefully though, the breed takes to training instinctively, the herding instinct of its forebears making it one of the easier breeds in which you can instill rules of behavior. German Shepherd size, height, and weight The German Shepherd is a dog to be reckoned with. It can stand anything from 1 foot 10 inches to 2 feet 2 inches at the shoulder, so a lap dog, this is not. Weight-wise, it dwarfs the Australian Kelpie, coming in healthily at anything from pounds. Australian Kelpie German Shepherd Mix size, height, and weight There is some fluctuation in the size, height, and weight of the Australian Kelpie German Shepherd mix, but it verges more on the lower end of the German Shepherd range than it does on the Australian Kelpie side. So you can expect a dog upward of 50 pounds, with lots of leg power, though nowhere usually near the height and ruggedness of the German Shepherd. If you leave an Australian Kelpie German Shepherd mix alone long enough to get bored, both halves of its ancestry are likely to act up — there will be barking, perhaps even a whine or howl, and there may well be digging, vandalism, and destruction. The dog will want to do anything it can to escape — both in physical and mental terms — from the situation in which it has no purpose, no action to take, no stimulation to address. Perversely, though they really need exercising to take the edge of the torpor that is distinctly unnatural to them, Australian Kelpie German Shepherd mixed breeds are not especially high maintenance, physically speaking. Moderate but regular walking will help turn the potentially bored animal into a satisfied companion. Anywhere you can let them run without a leash will be extremely appreciated, but remember to always do this safely and only in designated areas. Prepare for molting come springtime, though — they may need extra brushing then, not only to keep them comfortable but also to save your furniture and carpets from extra clumps of Kelpie hair. Bathe as needed — which might be more often than you think, because they tend to be goal-oriented dogs. That can make them unwary of their environment, so a muddy puddle is an irrelevance in the moment of chasing a stick, say. Shedding is a definite issue with German Shepherds though. There are a handful of things to watch out for with the Australian Kelpie though. Cryptorchidism, dysplasia in the hips, cerebellar abiotrophy, and luxating patella are among the things that can slow your Australian Kelpie down, and as they get older, that slow-down might happen anyway. Perversely, it will be more noticeable in the Australian Kelpie than in many breeds, because for the majority of their lives, they present as being so capable and energetic, without boredom permitting being yappy, attention-seeking dogs. German Shepherd longevity and health issues The modern German Shepherd is something of a martyr to the early in-breeding that helped produce the breed we know today. Hip dysplasia can be a real problem for German Shepherds, and can also lead to arthritis as the dog ages. German Shepherds are also prone to osteoarthritis. As with the Australian Kelpie, you can expect at least a decade of active life out of your German Shepherd. They will slow down and lose a little interest after that first ten years but have been known to regularly live to the age of .Hip dysplasia is common in older dogs especially some that have been particularly bred to have distorted weight distribution towards the back , and both arthritis and osteoarthritis can be issues for this mixed breed. If you can give them that commitment though, the Australian Kelpie German Shepherd mix could well be a good, loyal, loving fit for you and your household.

Life Span Did You Know? While the name of this breed is the French Bulldog, their origins cannot be credited to only France. One of the facts about French Bulldogs is that the idea and reason for the creation of the breed originated in England. This adorable dog breed, which has always been meant to be a companion, started as a miniature version of the English Bulldog. This mini-version accompanied lace workers across the English Channel and into France during the Industrial Revolution. Once the dog breed became prominent in France, the subsequent successful crossbreeding of the English Bulldog, Pug, and Terrier led to the creation of the modern-day Frenchie. The French Bulldog we know today originally came to the United States with groups of wealthy Americans who came across them and fell in love while touring Europe in the late s.

Frenchies are not known to bark much, unless you train them into it, but they are naturally alert and make excellent watchdogs. As long as they are well-socialized and trained, they tend to have an open and friendly nature. The Frenchie is a highly adaptable dog that pretty much adapts to any living situation that includes plenty of love and attention. Being a short-snouted, snub-nosed dog breed, they do not tolerate heat very well and are also sensitive to cold. This tends to make them one of the dog breeds that hate winter and you will want to make sure to bundle them up to stay warm while out on cold winter walks. Because Frenchies bond closely with their families and thrive on attention from them, they do not tolerate long periods of time alone. They can also be prone to developing separation anxiety if they are poorly socialized or you do not work with them on this when they are young. Potential health concerns to be aware of in French Bulldogs can include cataracts, cherry eye, and entropion. Good breeding practices make a big difference in the health of puppies.

Puppy training classes are always an option and offer plenty of benefits aside from training. Standard coat colors for Frenchies are Brindle, Cream, Fawn, and combinations of these. They have a short coat that will shed a little year-round. Nail trims once or twice a month keep nails from growing too long and causing issues. Weekly ear checks, along with careful cleanings as needed, can help prevent ear infections. As a small dog breed, the Frenchie is more prone to developing gum disease.

Although small, they are energetic and very playful. They are a companion breed through and through, so they love spending time with their humans and crave attention. They love to cuddle!

They also get along with other pets, but may not be as open or friendly to other dogs. Socialization early and often can help your Frenchton feel more comfortable when they come into contact with other dogs. They also make alert watchdogs. Frenchtons are moderately adaptable. Although they have an energetic and playful nature, they also tend to be laid-back. This makes them a good fit for apartments as well as larger homes. They are also true companions and crave attention, so they do not like to be left alone for long periods of time. As long as they get enough exercise and attention, they will be happy. Because they are small, snub-nosed dogs, they are very sensitive to heat. Their small stature and short coat also make them susceptible to cold. The Frenchton does best in moderate climates.

In hotter weather, make sure they have plenty of water available, keep their exposure to heat minimal, and the air conditioner on a comfortable setting. This is a generally healthy dog breed.

Common coat colors are black, black and white, brindle, cream, golden, and brown. Although they are not considered hypoallergenic, their coat does not shed much, so their grooming needs are minimal in that respect.

Daily brushing is ideal to keep tartar buildup at bay and to reduce the risk of tooth decay or other dental issues. This dog breed has a moderate activity level.

Daily walks and the occasional trip to the dog park or playtime indoors will give the Frenchton plenty of exercise.

They are known as tiny charmers that are a great fit for city dwellers. So, why are French Bulldogs so expensive? Here are a few reasons: 1. They are popular on a global scale. One of the biggest reasons why Frenchies are more expensive to buy is because they are recognized and popular worldwide. In addition to their trademark appearance and charming personality, Frenchies are also highly adaptable dogs. They also have an open and friendly disposition. In general, they tend to get along well with other animals and people. It is difficult to breed them. Not only are French Bulldogs ridiculously popular, but they are also difficult to breed properly. Due to their narrow hips, most French Bulldogs cannot breed naturally, which means artificial insemination is the way most females become pregnant. Because this is a costly and time-consuming process, French Bulldog puppies tend to be rare and the well-bred puppies are often more expensive as a result. They produce small litters. For a dog breed with so much popular demand, the French Bulldog tends to have small litters. On average, a litter will be about four French Bulldog puppies. However, only one or two puppies in a litter are also common. Reputable breeders do not breed their dogs every year and they put a limit on how many times their dog will breed. This, paired with small litter numbers, means Frenchie puppies can be rare and it can drive up the price for them. Frenchie puppies require a lot of hands-on raising. On top of small litters, almost all Frenchie moms have to give birth by C-section. Narrow hips and a narrow birth canal do not work with the large head and shoulders of the puppies. Although necessary, this is a costly procedure. Once the mom and puppies come home, the newly born French Bulldog puppies require a lot of attention and hands-on care. Although Frenchie moms tend to great dog moms, there is always the chance that they will roll over and accidentally smother one of their new puppies. Because of this, and the fact that they need to be fed every three hours, newly born Frenchie puppies cannot be left alone. There is a lot of hands-on raising and attention, which ensures the safety of the mom and puppies while also raising well-rounded dogs. However, it is a lot more work than some other dog breeds, which can drive up the cost of the puppies. Their popularity combined with how costly it is to breed and raise them is why French Bulldogs can be expensive.

They are more than happy to make new friends who will play with them and give them attention. And, they love nothing more than being with their favorite humans. They Tend to be Quiet Dogs Although these little dogs are naturally alert and tend to make excellent watchdogs, they tend to be quiet dogs. However, they can be trained into it if you are not careful. Howling puppies may be adorable, but encouraging and rewarding that behavior, and not training your dog to stop barking , can result in barking becoming a nuisance behavior. They pick up on things quickly and have a sweet temperament on top of it. This can make them a great fit for first-time dog owners. They do have big personalities and can be stubborn at times. Plus, they may use their cute face to push boundaries and get away with things every now and then.

If the other parent breed has a similar temperament, then you should be able to expect the same from a French Bulldog Mix. You can also meet the mother in person to see what her temperament is like and the behavior she is modeling for the puppies. The breeder should have started some training and socialization, but it is up to you to continue to train and socialize a puppy once you get them home. Frenchies are highly adaptable dogs. They do well in apartments as well as larger homes. However, as a brachycephalic breed, they are extra sensitive to heat and also sensitive to the cold. They also do not like being left alone for long periods of time. If the other parent breed is similar, then you can expect a Frenchie Mix to also be a highly adaptable dog. The other parent will introduce their own traits and some potential quirks, so you do want to ask the breeder about them. They could inherit none of the conditions common to their parent breeds, or they could inherit some or all of them. They can also be prone to allergies, have sensitive skin, and also a sensitive stomach. Good breeding practices will make a huge difference. Reputable breeders will screen their dogs to avoid passing issues to puppies. So, make sure you ask about the health and genetic history of both of the parents. Although French Bulldogs can sometimes be stubborn, they are eager to please and tend to be easy to train. As long as training is consistent and focused on positive praise and reward, they can be a good fit for owners of all experience levels. If the other parent breed is also easy to train, then you can expect a French Bulldog Mix to be highly trainable as well. Regardless of owner experience, there are many benefits of puppy training classes. A mixed-breed dog can inherit a coat similar to one of their parents or a coat that is a mix of both. You will also need to clean their facial wrinkles. Weekly ear checks with cleanings as needed can help prevent ear infections. As a small dog breed, a Frenchie Mix is more prone to developing dental diseases later in life. This makes good, consistent dental care for dogs even more important for them. Daily brushing with a dog-friendly toothpaste or using an enzyme toothpaste paired with cleanings at the vet when needed is ideal. Frenchies are known couch potato dogs that are happy to lay back, relax, and cuddle with you. Daily walks plus some playtime are usually enough for this affectionate little dog. Even though they like to relax, they also like to play and will be energetic when they do. They can also be athletic and compete in dog sports. As a brachycephalic breed, you do need to be careful of overexertion and overheating. But, there are plenty of ways to safely exercise flat-faced dogs to make sure your French Bulldog Mix gets enough exercise. If the other parent breed is also a low-energy breed, then you can expect something similar from a Frenchie Mix. If the other parent breed requires more activity, then you will need to be prepared for the potential of a higher energy dog. Fully-grown Frenchies usually stand inches tall and weigh pounds. The other parent breed can have a big effect on this, especially if they are the mother, so make sure you ask the breeder about them. This can give you some idea of what size to expect in a fully-grown French Bulldog Mix. French Bulldogs generally live for years. Although the other parent breed may affect this slightly, you should be able to expect a similar average life span in a French Bulldog Mix. Featured French Bulldog Mix Article.
