Puppy question about coat and color

[Karen]

Hi everyone!
I am so excited to be part of this group; I have been reading posts for over a month now trying to gain information, and now we have our own Goldendoodle coming home in a few weeks! I know there have been TONS of posts on this, and I scoured through the "Pup to Adult" page as well, but just looking for your thoughts. There were two girls in the litter for us to choose; the one on the left is smaller with a more narrow muzzle and waiver coat. The one on the right has a bit wider muzzle and a tiny bit less wavy coat. Any idea what the shape of their muzzles indicate in how they will look as an adult? And what about the waves in their coats? They are F1b. (I attached the pics below) Thanks so much!

I say go for personality. Our puppy Ruby picked us out. When we went to pick out our puppy she loved people, she checked in with her mom periodically, played by herself and also with the other pups--she kept coming back to us to snuggle, then would run off to play. After 3 months, she has the perfect personality for us--she continues to love people, like other dogs but also can be independent. Oh, and her coat is perfect.

here you go--makes it easier for people to see these cuties! They are very similar--you might not even be able to tell them apart as adults! I agree with Shoney--go with temperament--but if no difference there either, go with the one on the right if you want a more classic labradoodle look and the one on the left if you like more curls and more of a poodle-y look--although neither of them are poodle types at all--both look great!

Thanks so much for your replies. Since the pups were only 5 weeks (and in the middle of nap-time) when we met them, it was so hard to get a sense of personality/temperament. They were all so adorable and loved all the attention. So, I figured I would see if there was anyway to see what they might look like (although I know it is so hard); I sure hope she stays this color!

Oh they are so cute! I agree with they others, maybe tell the breeder what your looking for and see if they have any recommendations between the two? She/he would know the puppies best so that might help you out. Either way they are both adorable!

Thanks! Any ideas if their color will last? Are there any correlations between dogs tending to have the color coat of dad over mom, or vice versa?
