NED from pup to adult

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Ned is a mutigenerational labradoodle.  He is 17" tall and weighs 27 pounds.  He looks very much like his parents but is a tiny bit taller.
This is Ned at 3 1/2 months when we brought him home.

Then at 6 months, he began the dreaded coat change:

At 11 months - full matting mode:

Now all grown up:

Roxy just got her first mat at 6 months, 2 days after the groomer

Roxy is adorable! Ned took forever for the coat change. Hopefully Roxy will be done with it quickly.

He is a little curlier in areas and the red ears and tail have faded to apricot like the rest of him, but overall I think he looks much the same.

Ned, you were an adorable puppy, and now you're a very handsome Doodle guy!

Hi Baby Ned and All grown up Ned :)

[Camilla and Darwin]

Baby Ned was outrageously adorable. He grew in to such a handsome boy too. I always wonder what I would want my next doodle to look like if he ended up with a curlier coat, and Ned often comes to mind. every single photo of him is so stinking cute!

Thank you so much. We think he has changed less than many doodles but think it is probably because he is a small guy. I would love to know what Clancy was like as a puppy.
