Hello all... My name is Erin I am the new owner of a "Doodle" puppy of some sort tho I'm really not sure what the other half of him is, lol. His mother is a purebred white standard poodle girl...Daddy was supposedly a lab...however, as you can see from his merle coat, something is in the woodpile somewhere.....It is my understanding that in merle coat color genetics the color is dominant....so that one parent should have shown merle...but the lab was black...and mom was white...so I'm not sure. At any rate, he is half S poodle and we love him. I just think he is the most adorable puppy I've ever seen, and I have 5 other dogs lol. I wondered if there is any way to know what size he will be...his mother was smallish...around 30lbs....the supposed father is normal lab size but I'm really wondering if he is truly the father....at any rate....puppy is 6 weeks old and 7lbs....I know he is too young to be from mom but "breeder" wouldn't let babies stay any longer and if I hadn't taken him he would have been given to someone else.....Anyway, is there anyway to guess his size? I'm thinking medium....Also...what are thought's on his coat type? A friend has his sister and she is very coarse and wirey...while my puppy is puffy and soft and seems to get fuzzier by the day....anyway...I love him so and am SOOO glad I found this forum. Here is a pic of my sweetie who is yet to be named.
