Where's the Poodle in my Doodle?

All of the smooth coated doodles I have met shed as do lots of the others, including my long, wavy coated guy.  Because the non-shedding marketing hype is so wide-spread, this is a huge shock to many doodle owners, especially those who have more doodley looking dogs.

Amanda, Banks will probably get fluffier but more like a Golden does. His tail will get fuller and he might get "feathers" on his back legs. A little fluffier around the neck. My Pippa looks just like a tiny Golden Retriever. She is 9 months old.

Hi Amanda, Banks looks just my Livy. He's beautiful! Same thing here, she's the same age and her smooth coat is getting some waves along her back. I'm finding long hairs here and there. Sophie coat has always been more kinky and is really changing. They both she'd like crazy. It'll be fun to see all the pups when they are adults.

Banks is changing at 18 weeks. He still has no curl and is Shedding uncontrollably. He has little white hairs coming in everywhere? Down the middle of his back, he is wavy and dark apricot or red. I can't tell if he is getting darker or lighter? He is still the cutest dog you've ever seen ;) but I am so curious how many more times he will change? I love him dearly. He gets crazy, but I love him.

Welcome Rosanne! Your puppies are just gorgeous!!! I have an open faced Doodle that is almost 9 months old. She looked just like yours do (except for the color). I have a few recent pics of her on my page. Pippa will be a mini at around 35 lbs. Are yours bigger or smaller?

Hi, newbi here! I just joined and found this forum searching for adult pics of flat coated doodles. We have 2 sisters (couldn't leave one behind) choc Australian labradoodles. One is quite larger than the other which is good, so I can tell them apart. They do look exactly the same. They have been with us for 6 weeks and I can see changes in them already, however they should be poster childs for "where's the poodle in my doodle"! Their ears have some poodle, but their coats are so silky soft and beautiful. I'm not looking for the poodle in my doodle because they are beautiful, but I am curious when to their coats my change. They are 4 months old and both are just snuggle bunnies that shed! I'm hoping that the shedding is a puppy thing, but that's is never my luck.

Does anyone have a retrieverish looking doodle that doesn't shed?

Beth, Pippa is also an F1b with no poodle characteristics at all except for the smaller size.  Funny how genetics work!

To answer the various questions :)..

- Cali is not a  "reverse" F1b - her dad was a standard poodle and her mom an F1 golden doodle - which makes her somehow 75% poodle!  You surely can't tell! :)

We love her dearly, but it looks like we have a shedder!  It's at least good to hear we are not the only ones with a sweet shedding doodle without the poodle ;)

Clancy is a rescue that we got when he was two.  He looks doodlish but is a terrible shedder.  Count your lucky stars if your shedding doodle at least has a shorter coat! :-} We tried cutting his coat shorter once - he looked terrible, so we live with it, but . . . . .
