What will my puppy’s coat look like? Coat Comparisons

(Post updated 2023)

I have had many inquires from families wondering what coat type the puppies will have as they mature. When dealing with a Hybrid it is very difficult to predict with certainty what their Adult coat will eventuality end up like. Puppies go through multiple coat changes before their adult coat finally comes in. All newborn goldendoodle puppies look like Golden Retrievers. It is not until around 6 – 7 weeks when we can determine if it will be a Flat Coat goldendoodle – no facial furnishings. We have produced flat coats with both straight hair and with some curls. We have also produced Wavy/Shaggy coat goldendoodles and Curly Coat goldendoodles.

Below are some of our previous puppies. There are three pictures of each puppy. Notice the progression of the puppy: the first picture is newborn, the next picture is puppy at eight weeks old and the last picture the puppy as an adult.

My puppies are lucky to have joined such wonderful, loving families. It makes my day when I get an email from one of our previous puppy families giving me an update and sharing pics of their dog. Thank you!

Teddy Bear Goldendoodles look just like their name suggests, a Teddy Bear. They are fluffy all over including the face. They come in three types – Straight, Wavy, and Curly. Grooming requirements are brushing daily to prevent matting and a trip to the groomers every eight weeks or so.

FLAT COAT GOLDENDOODLES


Flat Coat Goldendoodles look much like a Golden Retriever with an open face. Just like the Teddy Bear Goldendoodles, their coats can be straight, wavy, or curly. There are less grooming requirements for Flat Coat Goldendoodles – No trip to the groomer as they do not require a haircut. Brushing, deshedding and bathing as required to help reduce shedding.

  1. All are gorgeous!!

    Our Harley just turned 2 and he only sheds little fur balls that are easy to pick or vacuum up (if preferred) about once per year.

    Harley looks like his dad, Tulo, who is a Curly Coat Goldendoodle. Great coat for anyone who doesn’t want to continually clean up hair. We send him to the groomers 2 – 3 times per year for a bath and trim.

    Great temperament … Love this dog!!!

    1. Thank you for the information. Harley is a sweet boy and a lucky dog to be a part of such a wonderful family! Thanks for loving him.
