Searching for a Flat Coat Doodle?
Hi everyone! My husband and I are adopting a DOOD in hopefully the next few weeks.... and we're really hoping we can find a puppy with a "flat coat" retriever look. Just like all of yours! they are so cute, we just love that look. Is it rare to find?
Do you know if the breeders will know right away if a puppy will have that flat golden look?
We have been speaking to one out of state breeder in Ohio, they showed us the photos below of an adorable little guy who's available, but its so hard to tell what their coat will be -- and to trust someone out of state! Eek!
If anyone knows how to find a retriever looking doodle (light on the poodle! haha) Please let us know!
Don't want to miss out on this little guy below but out of state is tricky!

I'm not sure, but your best bet would be an f1 doodle. They generally aren't very curly.
It sort of looks like a golden retriever in the pic. Is it? Or is it a Goldendoodle? -

It's an F2 goldendoodle. Believe it or not! But we are hoping he would look more like a retriever! That's what we are looking for. Searching!!

Oh. Yeah. If he's an f2, I'd say your chances are high for flat coat if that is what he looks like now.

we got ours purely by accident! I didn't want something too "poodly" so I picked a guy out of the litter that had less "crimping" around the ears and chest. Mine is actually and F1B. all the others in the litter are curly and fluffy. To tell the truth, my guy appears to have ZERO poodle in him in both looks and temperament/personality. AND he does shed (I suppose less than a typical golden retriever but not so sure). We love him but if you want guaranteed low/no shed, I don't recommend a flat coat. good luck!

who is the breeder in Ohio?

Eaglecross kennels. Have you heard of them? So tough with out of state!

YES! I have several friends in town who have dogs from them. Our local trainer refers many people to them. All wonderful dogs. Have not seen a flat coat one though. I thought they were just doing F1Bs now?? They are very professionAl. I would not hesitate using them. This pup looks alot fluffier than mine did. Guessing he may have some shag to him.

OMGoodness....His coloring is so handsome! But about the straight coat....I've learned from the experts that the way to "know" is by judging the curls & waves in the puppies ears, chest & base of tail....Given that advise, I'd guess yours will be wavy. I can tell you that I learned a lot from my experience as a first time puppy owner not knowing any better....My greatest concern was shedding so I naively left it up to the breeder to pick my puppy based on her experience. Our beloved arrived by plane & much to our surprise looks a lot more like a Lab than a Poodle. He's also a F2B Labradoodle BTW, which should have optimized our chances for shedding. Today he looks identical to the way he did when he arrived - Lab on the outside / Poodle on the inside. That said, we have a very smart Lab that sheds like no other given the Lab coat.

Haha! But he's so cute!! Do you have pics of him as a puppy?? We don't mind a little shedding. We really just love that retriever look! So cute!

Of course...The picture on my reply is him as a puppy & if you click on my name you'll see him as he's grown too.

Ps- are you allergic or anyone in your family? Or are they not bothered by him?

I was very concerned about allergies but he & my house are kept very clean so thankfully he doesn't bother me + it doesn't hurt that he's very loved.
