Will she have smooth coat or shaggy coat?

[Discussing Labradoodles & Goldendoodles]

I am picking up my first goldendoodle in 2 weeks time, and here's some pictures of my gorgeous girl Cinnamon with my daughter. She doesn't have any signs of wavy or curly coat as you can see in the pictures. Looks like she will have a smooth coat but I was hoping she will have shaggy coat in the end. 

Do you think she'll end up having a smooth coat? or shaggy coat?

 

She is 6 weeks old in the pictures.

If I had to guess, and it is just that, a guess, I would say that you will have a doodly looking doodle.  The ears are wavey and slightly curly and there seems to be some length and thickness to the rest of the coat.  You can take a look at two other groups for some ideas on how the coats change --- "From Pup to Adult" and also "Where's the Poodle in my Doodle".  She is adorable though and she seems to love your daughter.

So cute - both of em!!!!

Luna is a smooth coat doodle and when we brought her home she had NO curl in her coat at all, except on her head.  

 

This is what she looked like when we brought her home at 7 weeks.  She had a little curl on her ears and now the only really "curly" place is under her ear flaps where she has some ringlets.

 

If you look at the slideshow on my page (and those of some people on my friends list) you can see what a "retriever-ish" doodle will look like as it grows :)

My dog Rocky also had very straight hair when we brought him home at six weeks, except for his ears.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now he's 3 months and we're still waiting to see if he will get curly. He's still shedding a lot of his puppy fur, so I think only time will tell what he will look like and whether he will still shed.

I got Sasha (goldendoodle) at 3 1/2 months old, her hair was very puffy and kind of straight but now OMG she is one big curl.... very, very poodley

I'd have to say time will tell. I see waves behind the neck also, mine had waves on their faces though. Congrats!!
