  Hi all! I am new to the group and can't quite figure out how to start a discussion, so I'm commenting here. We picked our girl River up Friday and we are so in love! She is a Labradoodle (mom) and Goldendoodle mix.
  
  After joining this group, I am so curious what she is going to look like! I know she is more doodly looking in the face since her head is so curly, but I'm wondering if you guys think she will have furnishings? I'm thinking she may have an open face. As far as her coat, she is not really curly or wavy, just poofy. Her fur is super dense and thick, almost wooly.
  
  Does anyone have a pup who looked like our River girl?

  Pic 2: 6 weeks
  Pic 3: 7.5 weeks
  The rest are 8.5 to 9 weeks.
  
  Also - please no comments about her runny eye. She does have entropion which was diagnosed a few days before we got her. Our breeder fully informed us and this was made right by her. We are absolutely in love with her personality and decided we will get the eye taken care of. We have a consultation at our vet for it tomorrow. :)

    I only now noticed the entropian comment. My late Rosco had entropian and an umbilical hernia. All fixed at neuter and never posed a problem again.

    We are very hopeful it’s going to correct itself! It’s getting better and less runny everyday. She had the curliest little brow whiskers and I trimmed those up which helped a lot!!

    Entropion doesn't correct itself. It needs to be corrected surgically. It can be very painful for the puppy and can cause ulcerations of the cornea. What does your vet say?

    My vet says she appears to be growing into it, as many puppies do by a year. We will continue to monitor and assess it, and do not plan on doing surgery unless needed.

    She is darling! I have a feeling she is a slightly "scruffy" but flat coated doodle. In the most recent pics her muzzle hair still looks quite short and her body hair too. I think she might have some crimps on ther head/ears but I think she will mostly have a retriever-like coat.

    Thank you so much! I'm so excited to see how she changes as she gets older!

  Hi guys! I am new to this website and this is my first post/interaction! I have a 14 week old F1 goldendoodle puppy who constantly gets mistaken for a full retriever pup! I am curious to see what you guys think compared to what you have seen. The coat on his body is definitely not fluffy, I would describe it as almost wirey. Although, he does have some facial furnishings so I'm not sure what he will turn out like! Can't wait to hear your opinions :)

    I had the same comments. My Buster is a F1 Standard Goldendoodle. He just turned 7 and if you go to my page you will see the transition. He is now clearly a Goldendoodle and weighing in at 96lbs and 27.5 inches at the shoulder.
