Cockapoo Colours On Display
When thinking of Cockapoo Colours, a new owner has much to think about.
The range if colours is amazing
A new owner will often have a colour in mind, but for those that don’t have compiled a list to help you decide.
Cockapoo puppies vary greatly in colour particularly when the first born (F2) is bred back to the parent breed (F1) passing on a more complex genetic code.
(Click on the colour to see a gallery of that colour Cockapoo). Common Cockapoo puppy colours are:
- Apricot
- Black
- Golden
- White
- Chocolate
- Cream
- Champagne
- Golden
- Tan, beige, or buff
- Red, including auburn and apricot colours
- Brown, varying from light to dark
- Sable, a brown colour with shading in black
- Silver
- Brindle (subtle tiger stripped)
- Roan (an even mixture of white and pigmented hairs )
- Blue Merle (white and black mottled effect)
Cockapoo Colours: Puppies Can Be Multi Coloured
Two tone Cockapoos are often described as having a “black tuxedo”, for example, if they are predominantly black with a white torso.
Cockapoos often have intricate markings and appear patchy. They can also have freckle type spots called “ticking”.
American Cockapoos can have a merle coat, inherited from the American Cocker Spaniel and not yet seen in the UK. This makes the coat appear to have a mottled affect.
