Sheepadoodle colors
A Sheepadoodle inherits its colour from both parents — the Old English Sheepdog and the Poodle. Here are the colours you'll commonly see, which are rarer, and which come with a health note.
| Colour | Notes |
|---|---|
| Black & white | Classic; most common. |
| Tri-colour | Black, white and tan. |
| Solid black | Common. |
| Merle ⚠️ | Only from a merle parent — read the health note below. |
⚠️ About merle Sheepadoodles: merle is a beautiful pattern, but breeding two merle dogs together can produce "double-merle" puppies with a high risk of deafness and blindness. A responsible breeder never pairs merle × merle. Read the merle genetics & health guide →
Rarer colours are often priced higher by breeders, but colour has no effect on health or temperament — don't pay a premium for a "rare" colour alone. Coat colour can also shift as a puppy matures. See how it works.
