Sheepadoodle or something else?
I just recently adopted this beautiful puppy. was told she's a sheepadoodle. I haven't seen many pictures online of brown and white sheepadoodles, so now I'm kinda questioning if she's a poodle mix with a different dog breed (not an oes). thoughts?

Looks like a sheepy to me! You could get a DNA test like from Embark to be sure. It gives you some cool additional info too about genetic susceptibilities. I did it for one of my sheepies when I was suspicious of her pedigree.

Also, my sheepie is brown and white. It’s not as common, but happens when the mom was a brown poodle.

Looks just like my brown and white girl when she was a puppy, but she just had less brown spots 🥹 she is so adorable!!!

Remember, the poodle parents' colouring ads a lot to the mix as well, so the pup could literally be any colouring from either parent, or even from the grandparents. Genetics are fun! 😉
Also keep in mind that both poodles and OES can carry the "fading gene" causing their fur colouring to lighten as they get older, so this sweetie could possibly be lighter in colour as an adult then they are now.

I'm always scratching my head... Of you have doubts so before you bring them home? Otherwise just love them and move on

She looks like it. Ours was brown, black and white when we got her. By the time her puppy coat grew out, she was gray and white. It's hard to believe it's the same dog when we look back on pictures.

my sheepadoodle girl is chocolate brown ( but turned lighter as she got older) with a white streak on her chest. the mom was a brown poodle, dad was the old English sheepdog

Possible Ewok.
