Does my Poodle mix's hair type depend on parents or is it random?

Fifi is still a puppy so she has a puppy coat. Her adults coat will grow in between 4-6 months of age. If she does not develop the curly coat at the point, you may look into genetic testing. I recommend the company Wisdom Health. I hope this helps.

This will depend on the genes he got from both his mother and father. There is likely a 50/50 chance that he will be either. I am afraid you may have to wait it out until Tony loses his baby hair and grows his adult hair.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is hard to know as that will depend how much genetic material he has. He is likely going to look more like the breed he looks like now as he continues to grow. Good luck!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Coat color genetics is complicated and isn’t straight forward. The fact you got 2 black puppies when mating 2 white Pomeranians means somewhere in the lines of either one or both parents had black coated relatives. What you see isn’t always what you get with genes. That’s why 2 brown eyed people sometimes have a blue eyed baby. I hope this helps!

Hello. You have picked out such a cute puppy. The way his coat lays now, I would be quite certain that he should have the softer coat, possibly with a little curl or wave to it. Regardless, he is adorable. Good luck with your new puppy & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

It is possible to have shorter hair depending on their genetics. For instance (just an example), if long hair is a dominant gene and and short hair is a recessive gene then there is a chance for a puppy to have two of the recessive genes and end up with shorter hair. As long as you know there were not any other intact males around while she is in heat (the puppies can have different fathers), then I expect that she is full blooded and I would not worry about her shorter hair! She is just special! :) As she gets older, her hair may get longer.

She is really cute! Every pup is made a little different just like humans. They all get a different set of genes and no two are alike. Unfortunately, there is no way to predict exactly how each puppy with look. Luckily she is very cute. :)
