Goldendoodle coats come in three different varieties: Wavy, Curly, and Straight. \u00a0The most consistent indicator of coat type is the amount of Poodle in the parental lineage. However, there is no hard and fast rule for predicting coat types. \u00a0 A Goldendoodle\u2019s coat type may also change as they mature, so be careful if choosing a puppy based on their apparent coat type.<\/p>\n

Wavy \/ Shaggy\u00a0Coats<\/h4>\n

The wavy or shaggy coat type is the most common Goldendoodle coat type. \u00a0It occurs in all types of Goldendoodle generations and is considered the easiest to maintain. \u00a0It requires brushing a minimum of once a week, but more might be necessary in high friction areas (like under the collar or around the ears). \u00a0The wavy\/shaggy coat is usually low to non-shedding, but not always (particularly among F1 generation Goldendoodles).<\/p>\n

Curly Coats<\/h4>\n

The curly coat is also quite common among Goldendoodles, but is particularly prevalent among F1B generation Goldendoodles.\u00a0 The tightness and length of the curls will vary depending on parental lineage, but can be anything from a loose barrel curl to a tight kinky curl like a full bred poodle would have.<\/p>\n

This coat type requires daily brushing if it is to remain unmatted, although it can be shaved down to create a maintenance free coat if the owner prefers. \u00a0The curly coat type is almost always non-shedding, especially if the Goldendoodle is an F1B generation.<\/p>\n

Straight Coats<\/h4>\n

The straight coat is much less common than the shaggy or curly coats. \u00a0It may occasionally occur in F1 or F1B generations, \u00a0but is fairly common in F2 and F2B generations. \u00a0Often referred to as the Golden Retriever coat, it\u2019s very easy to maintain and requires minimal brushing.\u00a0 \u00a0 This coat type is usually low to moderate shedding.<\/p>\n
