I adopted Jack from a shelter. His original owners bought him from a pet store. I know that he is an F1 labradoodle, so he had one Lab parent and one standard poodle parent; it's usually the mom who is the Lab.
I'm sure Jack's Lab parent was a yellow lab. He has a friend who is a yellow lab, and she has the same coloring...very light face, and very light hair on the back of her upper thighs...you know the part that looks like little girl's ruffled panties on our doodles, lol? She has darker apricot coloring like a saddle across her back.
But I have no idea what color Jack's poodle parent was.
What color were your blonde doodle's parents? And were they labs, poodles, goldens, or doodles?
Blue poodles are my current favorites! They are just gorgeous, kind of a dark gunmetal grey. As puppies, they're black, and then as they get lighter, they take on a kind of brownish cast until they're mature. I think my next dog may be a blue poodle.
Scroll down to the bottom of this page I've linked to, and you'll see a gorgeous young blue standard who might just be the dam of my future puppy someday...if the stock market ever comes back up, lol!
These are all so interesting! These color genetics are just really complicated! Golden & chocolate, golden & steel blue, black & cream, and yet the babies have such similar coloring! I guess I really can't be sure what color either of Jack's parents were...seems like they could have been anything!
I think it's just one more reason why these doodles are so fascinating, don't you? Each one is really unique!
