Do you see the poodle?

[Janneke]

Hello everyone! May I introduce you to Bink? He is 8 weeks old and is an F1 goldendoodle from a Englisch Golden Retriever and en Standard Poodle. He is very smart and learns very quick. He is so adorable and sweet!

But I have a question. We chose Bink because we tought he wil become a doodle with a fleece coat. But now I've read the most doodles should have a beard or else they probebly will develop a straight coat. Bink doesn't have a beard. He does have little curls on his ears and wavy hair around his neck and back. His legs and tail have short straight hair. Does this mean he wil have a straight of flat coat? Now he is shedding a little bit. Do puppies always shed al little bit or does this mean he always wil be shedding?

Just for the record. It does not matter if he is going to shed a lot or will never have a fleece coat. I allready falled in love with him and never want to loose him. The reason why I ask this question is because I look for puppy's with a similar coat (in fact a puppy with all this contradictions: curls, waves and straight with no beard) but can't find them. When I find a puppy with a coat like Bink, they all have a beard?

If you want you can also visit my photoalbum for more pictures of Bink and his mum and dad.

What a sweetie!

An update! The puppycoat is gone allready, at 14 weeks! But his facial hair did grow a bit.

Honestly, I think you have a lot of coat change to go yet.  I think the hair is going to doodle out nicely.

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

I too think he is going to doodle out.  Haley at 16 weeks.

At one year Haley had not finished growing his coat.  It's really amazing to look back on the changes in the first year.  Be sure to take lots of pictures as Bink's coat changes.

Oh my Goodness, what a beautiful boy!!!

[Erin and Wrigley]

What a beautiful, shiny coat he has & such a sweet, sweet face...Oh my goodness!  The bright collar looks fab on him too:)

[Janneke]

Ow wow, what a beautiful boy! And his color also stayed really dark. I heard most dark puppy's turn lighter after a few months. But Charly has a really pretty black color, nice!
