Advice needed! Will this puppy have a loose wavy coat when it ages?

[Elizabeth F]

You guys have been so helpful!!! Can tell me if you think her coat will remain loose waves or if it looks like she might get curly and look quite poodlish. Also, she is red now but will that probably fade?  She is an F1 (white english retriever and red poodle) as I am hoping to have the shorter faceframe and wavier look.  I need to make my decision tonight!  

THANKS!!!

Her hair looks about as wavy as my Max did at that age, only she is a bit darker than him. 

Here I added what he looked like at 8 weeks

Here is what he looks like now.

He's six months old.

There put a better picture in. :)

Of course I think he's absolutely adorable :D

She is absolutely beautiful.

I would agree! Absolutely adorable!

[Elizabeth F]

oh very cute!!

he is adorable !!!

Here's Enzo the day we brought her home , @ 8 weeks.

Similar coat, but more facial hair.

[Julie and Max]

Aww what a sweet baby Enzo, of course she is even more gorgeous now, I guess I am biased with doodles now but I think they get even cuter as they get older. 

[Rosemary (Ro) and Enzo]

Thanks Julie...we think she is pretty special too.

and even that young and cute , already loves a ball :)

[Rosemary (Ro) and Enzo]

LOL....our son had found these tiny little tennis balls. It was perfect for her to carry around at that age. I think we created a monster! She'll do anything for a ball and I swear, can spell b-a-l-l. ;)

I am going to say Carmel to cream color, slight wavy coat on the thinner side with a brown nose. maybe café coloring. its all a guess but so much fun seeing if we guess correctly.

I think it'll probably be wavy. This pup looks a lot like mine did. He's definitely more wavy, a little straighter on the belly, not very poodley... except those long lanky limbs. He hardly sheds at all.

I was told that when selecting a puppy that the head hair is the indicator, not the body hair, ignore that it will change a dozen times before maturity.  If the head hair is made up of tight curls or kinks the dog will eventually end his coat changes with tightly curled hair.  If it's wavy and feels silky it will grow to have silky, wavy hair.  We wanted a wavy, silky coat to avoid the grooming challenges of the curly hair.  And Molly is about 15 months old and she has silky wavy hair.  (Of course they are all going to be grooming challenges sometime around the 9th month when they lose their puppy hair).   She looks like a keeper to me.  :)
