F1b puppy....any predictions on adult look

[Erin]

At the end of the month we are selecting our standard f1b pup. I have 5th pick from a litter of 9. I can tell some coats look waiver, but I wondered if anyone had any predictions just for fun. Dad is a standard poodle mom is an F1 goldendoodle ("English" goldendoodle).

These are three examples of some of the pups. Breeder expects light apricot/cream coloring.

Here's another one!

And another

[Amy and Annabelle]

Annabelle is a mini f1b. She is more curlier now than when we brought her home. She is a year and a half and weighs 15lbs.

This is her at 10 weeks.

This is her now. Strangest thing, she also grew some bunny ears. She has apricot ears and tail. She had quite a bit on her back at one time, but is losing it now.

She is adorable. Do you groom her yourself? I love her cut. Were you able to view the images I posted? Was her coloring similar? I love the darker ears!

[Amy and Annabelle]

Thank you. No I have her groomed. I will do the basics like brushing and bathing, but everything else the groomer does. I saw your pics. They seem similar to Annabelle and her litter. I think Annabelle mostly resembles the last one in her color. Her nose was darker as a puppy, and now it is turning lighter. I don't know if she had snow nose and it will go back to black as the warmer and sunnier days come, or stay the color it is. Either way I don't care, I like her new color.

I can't get over how much the doodles change in appearance as they grow. You really wouldn't think these puppies and dog were the same animal in many cases.

[Amy and Annabelle]

This is true. They go through coat changes and it may or may not come back the same. Annabelle's coloring pretty much stayed the same, but she got a lot more curlier. It was kind of wispy when we brought her home. Who knows if she will change anymore.

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

The second two pups seem curliest, but they are all adorable.

oh the joys of picking out a puppy!!  They are all cute and seem to have some wave.  Most breeders can give their best guess as to what the puppies will look as adults.  If this is a mating pair, can you view some of previous pups? 

The thing to remember: there are no guarantees. on hair, color, weight, size, personality, etc. 

Just for fun, I think there is more wave to Number 3 pics. in the ears at least. 

We got lucky as our breeder did the gene testing on our litter and I wanted a male and there was only one male that tested positive for curly (poodle) hair. So, I didn't have the stress of choosing a pup.  It was 'like this pup 'or wait on another litter. ( i have dog allergies, so really needed to have poodle hair) 

Oh the joys!! Spring is the best time to train a pup in my opinion. Summer fun for all!! Be sure to take lots of pictures, as they grow fast, and it looks like these pups are going to be big!! 

[Erin]

The estimate is 60-70 pounds. I love the look of the curls but I've heard they are harder to maintain?! I'm going to go by temperament first then coat. I think they look adorable but most pups are. This is s first time breeding pair but I have seen father's offspring.
