Those of you with shedding doodles. What were their coats like when they were tiny pups? (Straight, curly, wooly, silky, wiry, hairlike?) Do you have any pics of them as new tiny puppies? I am just curious as to whether their are any tried and true predictors of adult coats in a young puppy. And shedding or not all doods are wonderful. I am just curious how breeders advertise a 3 week old puppy as shedding or non shedding that soon.
Samantha's coat the day we brought her home at 11 weeks was as smooth, silky and straight like a Labs. As I look at the picture now, I see the 'cowlick' waves starting on her back.
She does not shed a hair!
Would you take a guess as to whether Clancy sheds or not? { The answer is yes! Lots.} We got him as an adult so I have no idea when he started shedding or what his coat was like as a pup.
