Shedding

[Discussing Labradoodles & Goldendoodles]

Raven is a f1b golden she is 3.5 months old. I just gave her a bath and she is loosing a lot of hair. Is is puppy hair changing over or do I have a shedder?

Too early to tell, but puppy coats do not shed out until 10 -14 months of age--but some puppies shed less as adults...I just looked at the other pictures you posted though and she has an open face--meaning she will not have long furnishings on her face but will look more like a Golden (easier to keep clean and unmated!) but this could also be an indication that she has not inherited the more poodle-y coat..not sure until she gets older.

She looks like she has an open face (from the other discussion where you introduced them with photos), so she might be a shedder.

Hi Wanda :)
We have a 4month old goldendoodle...and we are going through the same thing. Even though our pups coat seems to be a bit more on the curly side. If I brush him with undercoat rake the hair that comes out is never ending. I have even started to worry that something wrong. It seems as if everyone has a different opinion on this. I am hoping that he is just getting rid of his puppy coat and that as he gets older the shedding will stop or at least lighten up( as some have suggested) If you get any good advice or insight please let me know.. I would love to hear how your pups coat ends up:)
