Yes, I have 2 curly coats...the rest appear flat or slightly wavy...which could mean either 1) fleece or 2) Lab! LOL
Only time will tell!
Normally, when Bayley (this mama) gives us pups we get a few GORGEOUS fleece coats but mostly we get very curly (wool) or scruffy. Bayley does shed, lightly. We have only bred her to a Poodle before now...
This F1B is beautiful...he has a wavy to curly fleece coat, very thick, no shedding at all.
When we have "perfect" coats, they always start out looking like flat coats so I have high hopes for these pups...in fact, I was disappointed to see the two curly coats!
I have found that when I thought we'd have Labby looking dogs we usually had fleece...although we have had our share of Labby looks too...I can tell, usually around 3-4 weeks what we are going to have...so I am watching them carefully!
