LABRADOODLE QUESTIONS

[Bernie J]

Hi guys,

I'm a new labradoodle owner and I just have a couple of questions I was hoping you guys could help with. This is my 8-week-old doodle puppy and he is an F3. His mum is an F2b fleece and dad an F7 wool. I'm worried because his coat does not seem to be thickening out much or become fluffy, in comparison to his siblings. He sort of looks like a labrador/golden retriever now and I don't know what that means? What sort of coat will he eventually have? Will his coat remain flat or would he eventually thicken out? Why are only the fur on his ears and under his chin wavy, while the rest remain straight-ish? 

Also, I was just browsing through the internet for doodle pictures, and I'm wondering why some doodle have hair that are fluffy and some just have hair that remain closer to the body? I understand that some coats like the wool coats are fluffier but even between the fleece coat, some have really fluffy hair, while some have coats that stick closer to their bodies. Is this entirely grooming or is it sort of genetic?

So sorry to bombard you all with all these questions! Have a great weekend :)

Yes, Louie has really big feet! That's what I keep telling my partner too! By the way, I think Louie and Auggie were born on the same day!

By the way, I have no idea what F7 is...

Hi, Our Vern is an F3 Labradoodle. Here are a couple of pictures of him.

His coat is SO much easier to care for than our other dog, Fudge. She is an F1B Labradoodle and mats constantly.

Wilson's hair is much easier than Murphys.  Murphy has more curl and his hair is thicker although he is still fleece not wool.  Both have same daddy so what a difference a momma can make!

Monty is so cute.  Love the "sloppy sit" in the second photo!

Jarka, I can recognize Monty as a pup. Now you have a new pup coming. Yippee! More photos on the staircase. ;o)

Jarka, Monty is too funny. I love his sits. You must be smiling all day.
