Help! Coat predictions for Sammy!? :)

[Caroline and Sammy]

Hi everyone! I recently joined DK and I'm loving reading the posts as well as seeing photos of your doodles! I will be a first-time doodle owner in less than 3 weeks. Sammy is 5 weeks old today! I CAN'T WAIT to bring him home. I've been waiting for him since before he was conceived and it's excruciating!

The breeder just sent me this photo and I was wondering if anyone could help me with coat predictions? I'm thinking he'll be loose wavy, but wanted to get others' opinions. Do you think he will have the classic facial furnishings? For reference, Sammy is an F1 standard goldendoodle.

Also - I was wondering how the color of his coat might change as he gets older. If you have a doodle that was Sammy's color as a puppy, how did his/her coat change?

Here's a video of him at 5 weeks as well (as the breeder said - he's much darker in person as you can clearly see in the pic below!)

Thanks in advance for your help!

I think he’s got some nice furnishings started already. My guess is he’ll be loose wavy, but I could be wrong. I love his color!! It may lighten a bit but I think it will still be a beautiful rich color. He’s adorable ❤️

I agree with Jeri.
