I'm not sure what you mean by trying to figure out her coat type. If you are more specific in your request for help, we will be better able to respond. Milli is very cute, by the way!

Sorry, wondering if she would be more curly or a wavy coat.

I'm thinking a wavy coat.

Thank you!

Ned currently and at 4 months.

IMHO....from the photo and my experience, I think she will have a stunning, on the thick side, wavy, or slightly curly fleece coat....not Poodle-y. I strongly advise you not to cut or trim her coat too early and not with clippers! You should trim around her eyes of course. I have known many friends who shaved their Doodles early (including me).....not short....but when her coat came in, it was like a Poodle. I don't know what science regarding dog coats that is......but I've seen it and wish I'd known. My other girl is going on 13 and has a long wavy fleece coat that I've always scissor cut.

I don't know why my pix are posting sideways. Yindi, the little white one, had a coat more like Yarra's, the brown one

, until I used a clipper with a snap on comb and has always grown out curly; she is 9.

Interesting about the clipping.  I've thought about purchasing clippers for Riley but maybe scissor cutting will be safer for keeping her "shaggy" wavy coat.

I prefer scissor cuts to clippers. If I believed that shaving made hair grow in differently I’d be very tempted to shave my thin, straight, baby-fine hair. LOL

I mean it does give a different look since when you cut it shorter the hair shaft you see is thicker (since it's closer to the root/further from the worn down tips).

My mother in law has hair like that and she hates it, I understand :p

I don't know we'll see how it goes.  Riley has a LOT of hair and it would be extremely time-consuming to scissor cut.  I don't know if I would like her look clipped though since as I understand it the longest you can get it is about 1".  Right now it's about 4" long and I love it.
