Congratulations on your decision!
Yes, F1 Labradoodles can have fleece coats but they are the exception.
You have selected a lovely pup and I am certain that you will be thrilled with the coat and the pup!

lindamarie.....is his coat soft? I asked the breeder if the puppy seemed to have fleecy fur, but I haven't heard back from her yet. All I know at this point is that it's softer than the others.

Linda, Bogie looks very much like my F1 females and the coat you describe is like theirs...when it is cut a bit, it is very soft, but when it is full lenght, it feels a bit coarse. My girls shed lightly too.
Many people confuse "hair" with "fur"...the reason most dogs cause allergy problems is that they produce "fur" even though it feels like coarse hair...and Poodles have "hair" coats because, like humans, they don't shed and it is not the same as other dogs "fur" so, the coat that looks like "hair" is really fur and the wooly Poodle coat is really "hair".

Now, do I have everyone totally confused? (Who's on first?)
