Question about F1b coats

[Sara]

Hello. We will be bringing our puppy home in January and was wondering if anyone has experience with an F1b whose coat was "straight" as a puppy? I'm hoping he gets shaggy/wavy. I really want him to get doodly, but not too curly! I also wonder if he has the facial furnishings that end-up very doodle-like? I will try to attach a pic. The breeder contacted me last night and said the boy on the left is ours (we got last pick).

Any insight is appreciated!! :)

Oh wow! He is adorable but very young. Almost too young to tell very much. How old is he? My Daphne is an F1b and looked very similar as a baby.

The straight coat you are describing usually does end up being more of a wavy doodle as opposed to the tighter curly doodles.

Go check my page- Ragley was very straight as a puppy and is a perfect loose wave now. I have pictures from 3 weeks old to present that show her progression :)

Thank you for the replies! Looking at the pics of both of your fur babies when they were babies, I'm thinking I might get the wavy doodle of my dreams! Yay!
And Lori, he was 4 weeks old in that pic. I agree--he's very young to tell what might happen to his coat, but getting opinions from you experienced Doodle owners sure does help! :)

This is Annabelle at about 8 weeks taken by the breeder. She is an F1B mini. She is supposed to be shaggy/wavy. She does have some wave, but also some crazy Albert Einstein hair too.

This was taken last week at 18 weeks.

Ours looked kind of straight to me and it has gotten more wave each week. She probably won't be curly but wavy I think. She was older than yours though do the waves were easier too see. We haven't picked her up yet but I'll attach 5 and then 6 week photos to see if that helps. Your puppy is adorable!

I agree that it is hard to tell when so young. Ishmael was 5 weeks old in first photo and 3 years old in second. He has loose curls.
