🎨 Australian Labradoodle Coat Colours
​
Australian Labradoodles come in a wide range of beautiful colours, each with unique characteristics:
-
Chalk: A bright, clean white coat often described as “chalky.” Dogs with this colour typically have a black or dark brown nose.
-
Cream: A soft off-white shade that can vary from slightly darker than chalk to a warm creamy tone. Cream Labradoodles generally have a black or dark brown nose.
-
Gold / Apricot: Warm golden to apricot shades, sometimes with slightly darker ears. These dogs usually have a black or dark brown nose.
-
Caramel: Varying from pale caramel to a rich reddish-brown. Caramel Labradoodles often have a rose or liver-coloured nose.
-
Red: Ranges from vibrant orangey-red to deep rich red shades. The colour often lightens somewhat with age. Red Labradoodles typically have a black or dark brown nose.
-
Black: A glossy solid black coat paired with a black nose.
-
Chocolate: Chocolate Labradoodles exhibit various rich brown shades. As they mature, their coat colour can lighten to tones often called Parchment, Lavender, or Café au lait. Chocolate Labradoodles always have a rose, liver, or brown nose—never black.
​
Notes:
-
Nose colour usually corresponds with coat colour but can vary slightly.
-
Some colour variations like Parchment and Lavender are more common in multigenerational Australian Labradoodles.
-
Coat colour may shift subtly as puppies mature into adults.
