Your dog’s grooming routine should include both brushing and bathing. A brush down with a slicker brush every other day is ideal to remove any loose hairs. As for washing, a bath with a gentle dog shampoo every 3 months will remove dead skin cells, dirt and debris.

They are one of the most sought after Goldendoodle coat colors

Chocolate F1bb Goldendoodle

Chocolate Goldendoodles have a solid brown coat that can range from a very light shade to a dark brown. They inherit this coat color from the Poodle side. Brown coats were originally a result of a mutation of the gene that produces a black coat. It is a recessive gene so both parents need to carry it to get a Chocolate Goldendoodle. This coat color is more common in the F1bb generation than earlier generations like F1.

Cream F1bb Goldendoodle

Cream F1bb Goldendoodles have an off-white coat. Some Cream F1bb Goldendoodles have black noses while others have light brown or beige noses. Cream F1bb Goldendoodles are often mistake for Labradoodles because they are so light in color.

Black F1bb Goldendoodle

Black F1bb Goldendoodles feature a solid black coat. They may have small white patches over their body like on their chest or paws however these as technically Black and White Goldendoodles. F1bb Goldendoodles can only be this color if they inherit it from the Poodle as purebred Golden Retrievers are never black. That is why they are more common in back-cross generations.

Merle F1bb Goldendoodle

A Merle F1bb Goldendoodle carries the merle gene which dilutes certain sections of their coat into mottled patches. This gene also affects eye color and skin pigmentation on the nose and paws so Merle F1bb Goldendoodles often have very light eye colors such as blue and often have pink patches on their nose and paws.
