Can a Goldendoodle have straight hair?
The straight-coated Goldendoodle is often mistaken for a Golden Retriever. You generally see the flat or straight coat in F2B and F2 generation Goldendoodles and very rarely in F1B and F1 dogs. Straight-coated dogs don't have the furnishings of their curly-coated cousins, but they do tend to shed quite a lot more.
Why do some Goldendoodles have straight hair?
Naturally, a Goldendoodle is more likely to have a straight coat if their lineage includes equal parts of the purebred parents. For instance, straight haired Goldendoodle pups are more common in Goldendoodle mixes where there's 50% Golden Retriever and 50% Poodle present.
