Cavapoo Colors & Coat Patterns Guide

Red Cavapoos are beloved for their rich, warm copper-to-golden coats that glow in the sunlight. The red coloration comes from the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel side of the cross and ranges from a deep mahogany red to a bright, sunny golden-red. A solid red Cavapoo with no white markings is one of the most classic and sought-after coat colors in the breed, prized for its rich, even color and soft, curly or wavy texture.

Apricot Cavapoos have a soft, warm, peachy-gold coat that falls between red and cream on the color spectrum. The apricot shade is a diluted form of red and is one of the most charming, photogenic Cavapoo colors — it has a gentle, sun-kissed quality that pairs beautifully with the breed's soft, curly coat. Apricot Cavapoos often lighten to a creamy apricot or warm gold as adults.

Brown Merle Cavapoos are striking, one-of-a-kind puppies with a mottled, marbled chocolate-brown coat flecked with lighter tan and cream patches. The merle gene creates a beautiful, unpredictable pattern — no two Brown Merle Cavapoos ever look exactly alike. This rare and eye-catching coat is one of the most distinctive in the Cavapoo breed and turns heads everywhere these puppies go.

Blue Merle Cavapoos are breathtaking, with a marbled silver-gray and black coat mottled with lighter blue, cream, and tan patches. The merle gene creates a unique, painterly pattern on every single puppy — no two Blue Merle Cavapoos are ever identical. This rare, silvery coat is one of the most visually stunning in the entire Cavapoo breed.

Chocolate Cavapoos have a rich, deep brown coat that ranges from milk chocolate to dark espresso. Unlike the marbled merle pattern, a solid chocolate Cavapoo has an even, uniform brown coat that's warm, elegant, and undeniably beautiful. The chocolate coloration is a recessive genetic trait, making solid chocolate Cavapoos a special and sought-after find.

Chocolate Phantom Cavapoos have a rich chocolate-brown base coat with distinct tan or rust markings above the eyes, on the muzzle, chest, legs, and under the tail — a striking, two-tone pattern reminiscent of a Doberman or Rottweiler but in a soft, cuddly Cavapoo package. The phantom pattern is a recessive trait, making these puppies rare and highly prized.

Black Cavapoos have a sleek, solid jet-black coat that's striking, elegant, and undeniably handsome. A solid black Cavapoo with no white or tan markings is relatively uncommon and makes a beautiful, sophisticated companion. Their dark coat showcases the breed's soft, curly texture beautifully and gives them a distinguished, teddy-bear-like appearance.

Black Phantom Cavapoos have a striking jet-black base coat with sharply defined tan or rust markings above the eyes, on the muzzle, chest, legs, and under the tail. This two-tone pattern gives them a distinguished, Doberman-like elegance in a soft, cuddly Cavapoo body. The phantom pattern is recessive, making Black Phantom Cavapoos rare and highly prized.

Brown Phantom Cavapoos feature a warm chocolate-brown base coat with sharply defined tan or cream markings above the eyes, on the muzzle, chest, legs, and under the tail. This elegant two-tone pattern is the brown version of the phantom coat — softer and warmer than the black phantom, with a rich, layered look. The phantom pattern is recessive, making these puppies a special find.

Brown Tri Cavapoos have a beautiful three-color coat combining chocolate brown, tan or rust, and crisp white markings — typically a brown base with tan points on the face and legs and a white chest, blaze, and paws. This tricolor pattern is eye-catching, balanced, and one of the most distinctive Cavapoo coats. Tri-color Cavapoos are relatively rare and turn heads wherever they go.

Black Tri Cavapoos have a striking three-color coat combining jet black, tan or rust, and crisp white markings — typically a black base with tan points above the eyes and on the legs and a white chest, blaze, and paws. This tricolor pattern is bold, balanced, and undeniably handsome. Tri-color Cavapoos are relatively rare and make stunning, standout companions.

Parti Cavapoos have a predominantly white coat with large patches of a second color — most commonly black, brown, red, or apricot. The parti pattern is bold, playful, and completely unique on every puppy; no two parti Cavapoos ever share the same patch placement. This eye-catching, two-tone coat is one of the most distinctive and beloved Cavapoo color patterns.

Red Tuxedo Cavapoos have a rich red coat with crisp white markings on the chest, chin, paws, and often the tip of the tail — giving the appearance of wearing a little tuxedo. This dashing, formal pattern is one of the most charming and photogenic Cavapoo coats, combining the warmth of a red coat with the elegance of white markings. Red tuxedo Cavapoos are rare and highly sought after.
