What a gorgeous little face! She looks really fleecy to me, but I am not an expert nor do I know much more than my two doodles- one of which is fleecy and one of which is wool.

What an adorable puppy. Rua is fleecy, but really didn't start looking like that till later.

I think it's too early to tell cause she still has her puppy coat. Daisy is 18 months and I still don't know is she fleece, is she wool...what's the diff? No one can really tell me...maybe Kemp but how would you know from pictures?

I think with ALDs it might be different. Rooney's breeder can tell you at birth - there are subtle differences even then that she can see. With American LD's I'm not sure.

It must be illegal to be that cute!!! Your breeder might be able to tell you- our ALD breeder was able to tell by 5 weeks which pups would be woolly, fleecy or wavey. I'm not as sure with goldendoodles, though. Whatever type of fur she has is sure is adorable!!!

Very cute! The slight waviness around the ends of the ears makes me think she will be fleecy--Here is a picture of one of the pups from my Lyric's litter at 5 weeks and then at 8 weeks--you can see the resemblance. The pup shown will be probably be fleecy, but they really DO change a LOT as they get their adult coat. See how his ears were curled at the ends, though? See if Hattie gets more curly like that on her ears. The last picture is the same pup at 4 months. He is a multigen labradoodle (Both parents were LDs).
