Hi! I'd like some help understanding what straight hair/shaggy looks like IRL. I think my pup Yarra (almost 6mths now) will have a shaggy look, do you guys have examples of what this looks like in adult dogs?

The word you want is "fluffy", lol! I don't know why people tend to equate "straight" with flat, but they do it with people's hair too, and it's wrong. Hair can be straight and full at the same time; just think of Jennifer Anniston, lol.
It took Sassy a couple years to develop her full coat. She has the ideal- coat grows slowly and doesn't shed and she's a gorgeous color. She belongs to a friend.

Is it the 8 month marker when they may have a big change in coat? It sounds like Sassy's coat continued to change well after the first year?

Ah super cute! Now I see what straight hair can look like that isn't "flat" (if that's the right word), was hard to imagine before.

Some dogs can be a combination too, our bernedoodle Riley has mostly straight hair on her face/head and lower legs but loose curls on her body.
Here's two other shaggy doodles.
She looks similar to my Holly! She is 5 months old now and I'm always trying to figure out what she will end up like!

My doodles all started their coat changes around 4 months and didn't fully settle into the mature version of the coat until well after a year old.
Our current goldendoodle puppy Toby is about 5 months old and his coat is already showing signs of shifting to his adult coat.
I didn't actually realize that's what was happening with Yarra, so I'm thinking she's already started the adult coat shift.
Sassy has this slow growing coat so it could have started at 8 months or a year. It just took forever.
