Wrigley doodle

This is is my 9 week old standard F1 English Goldendoodle, Wrigley. The top picture is yesterday, bottom picture on the rug is last week. His mom is a red poodle and dad an English cream retriever. Wrigley’s coat is very straight and fluffy- I know it can change multiple times, but I’m curious what it may look like as an adult. I think the scruff on his face indicates he won’t be a flat coated doodle, correct? Also, do English doodles typically lose color as they grow? The fur closest to his skin is very white but I can’t tell if that will just be feathering or if he will lose his color.

Finally, has anyone had a standard doodle be smaller than the “usual” and catch up to full size? Dad was 67 lbs, mom 60 and the litter had 12 pups. At 8 weeks, he was only 5.12 lbs (right in the middle of all 12 pups) but gained 2.5 lbs this week. The breeder said when they have large litters, they generally start out small but catch up- I wanted to see if anyone has experienced this. Thanks!
