How do you tell what coat a puppy will have?

I have had many inquires from families wondering what coat type the puppies will have as they mature. When dealing with a Hybrid it is very difficult to predict with certainty what their Adult coat will eventuality end up like. Puppies go through multiple coat changes before their adult coat finally comes in. All newborn goldendoodle puppies look like Golden Retrievers. It is not until around 6 – 7 weeks when we can determine if it will be a Flat Coat goldendoodle – no facial furnishings. We have produced flat coats with both straight hair and with some curls. We have also produced Wavy/Shaggy coat goldendoodles and Curly Coat goldendoodles.

Below are some of our previous puppies. There are three pictures of each puppy. Notice the progression of the puppy: the first picture is newborn, the next picture is puppy at eight weeks old and the last picture the puppy as an adult.

My puppies are lucky to have joined such wonderful, loving families. It makes my day when I get an email from one of our previous puppy families giving me an update and sharing pics of their dog. Thank you!
