But there are also a couple of patterns that are often found. Those are abstracts and parti. Abstracts will have some white markings-maybe the chest, a blaze on the forehead, white toes and maybe the tip of the tail. They can have many of the white markings or just a few. This is something they have in common with the black goldendoodles which can also have white markings. The other pattern, parti, is about 50% white with red or apricot spots.
