My poodle puppy has wavy hair. Will she get curly or is she a mix?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Genetics do come in to play for how an animal will look, including hair type. Poodles have tight curly hair and Cavaliers have wavier hair. Which puppies in the litter get what hair type is a roll of the dice! I hope this helps!

Each Pomeranian has a different coat. Some will depend on the coat type of the parents. If the parents were not really fluffy, this baby may not be either. But, she will get more furry when she gets an adult coat. This age still has a finer coat. It will thicken over time. Either way, she is adorable just how she is!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Fluffie. She is adorable! I suspect that she is mixed with a Cocker Spaniel, Shih Tzu or Havenese. Dog DNA test kits are available if you want to know for sure. She could be a combination of more than two breeds. You take a cheek swab and mail it to a laboratory. The DNA results of her breed combination are sent back. I hope this information 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.

Both of those breeds have a longer coat and based on the photos Paris has a short coat rigth now, however she may develop one as she gets older. It is difficult to tell at this age, especially when you are dealing with a mixed dog, because you can have a mix of characteristic traits that don't completely look like one breed or another. I would allow the pup to grow up a bit more then re-assessing, or I would consider having a dog DNA test done through your local vet. They really are quite affordable and require a quick blood sample. You will also gain valuable intimation on what genetic predispositions she has and what diseases she may develop later in life. I would start there if you are looking for an accurate assessment right now. We are only right about 30% of the time when using visualization only in a puppy this young. I hope everything works out well for your pup. And at any rate she is a good looking puppy and seems very happy in her new home. Best wishes and take care.

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.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Puffy. I do not believe that her hair coat indicates any disease process. Rather it is likely result of her genetics. What breed was her father? My guess is that her appearance is closure related to him than the other pups. I hope this information helps!
