Getting a puppy this weekend. (Yay!) He looks so different from my 2 year old doodle. Any input?

Hi everyone!

We've had Lacey about 2.5 years now and she is just the goofiest, prettiest, smartest, and funniest dog we've met.

Now that my youngest in in kindergarten and I'm home all day with no kids we decided to get another Goldendoodle. There are not many local so I found a breeder a few hours away. She has 2 females and 1 male and they're in her home. I really liked that. We pick him up this weekend!

He is f1b ,75%poodle 25 retriever I guess? Our Lacey is 50/50. Anyone have any guesses what this little guys coat will be like grown up? I know most f1b are curlier as adults but he looks a lot straighter than the others in his litter. He is the last one available but she said he's very sweet and docile compared to the others. That's just how our Lacey was! She was the last one and very shy. And she's turned out to be awesome. He is a little older as he's the last one out of a litter of 12 I think.

Here is the picture she sent me of him recently.

Anyone have a pup that looked similar that has an adult pic? My kids want to name him shaggy but I'm hesitant if he will end up curly! Lol

Thanks in advance!!!

I don't know what type of coat he'll have, but he's sure adorable!

Ditto!

The f1b goldendoodles are the best.  She looks fantastic and I'm sure you will be very pleased.  In my experience, the goldendoodle coats are the best and I have had many different types of doodles.  The f1bs have a little straighter hair, but so manageable.  My Groucho Too (f1b phantom goldendoodle) required very little grooming and I think always looked good.  Take a look at the photos on my page.  Groucho Too died in February and we all miss him.

He is adorable. Congratulatons. I have no guesses as to the adult coat.

The 1st picture is Daphne at about 5-6 months. The 2nd is her at 1-1/2. the 3rd is her and her mother Lucy. Its not a great photo but it does let you see their fur together. Lucy is F1 and Daphne f1b. Daphne started out more straight wave and now has a curlier wave. Hope this helps.

OMG- no doodle looks like Daphne!  LOL  

She is the poster girl for PURE Doodle Perfection.

That is so sweet Joanne, Thank you!!! But I know I have seen the many adorable photos you post of Spud. That is the wonderful thing about Doodles. They are all unique and all precious in their own special way!

PS. This is one of many photos I attempted for the calendar only to get home and discover all that orange webbing in the background :-(  It doesn't matter anyway because they both just refused to look at me.

They are so adorable.  I know, I say that about all of them but it's true every time!
