Coat Types

There are three main coat types Parti Goldendoodles can have: wavy, curly or straight hair. Wavy and curly coats are the most common. Straight coats are pretty rare for Parti Goldendoodles as they are usually seen in reverse Goldendoodle generations where the Goldendoodle has been bred back to a Golden Retriever instead of a Poodle. Reverse Goldendoodles hardly ever have a parti coat as they have a higher percentage of Golden Retriever genes than Poodle genes.

Curly Coat

Most Parti Goldendoodles have curly coats. They are much denser and thicker than wavy coats and more closely resemble the coat of a Poodle. Curly coats are one of the most common coat types as Parti Goldendoodles are found in cross-back generations where the Goldendoodle has been bred back to a Poodle e.g. F1b, F1bb and F2b Goldendoodles. Curly coats are usually more hypoallergenic than other coat types.

Wavy Coat

Wavy coats are the next most common Parti Goldendoodle coat type. Their coats feature light, loose waves which gives them a teddy bear appearance. Wavy coats are generally easier to groom than curly coats as they are easier to brush.

Straight Hair

Straight hair coats are extremely rare for Parti Goldendoodles as straight hair usually occurs in generations that have a higher percentage of Golden Retriever genes than Poodle genes and the parti coat pattern can only be inherited from the Poodle. They are usually not as hypoallergenic as wavy or curly coat Goldendoodles.

Parti Goldendoodle Shedding

Do Parti Goldendoodles Shed?

Parti Goldendoodles are classified as a light to non-shedding breed. As they are usually found in cross-back generations, they shed even less than the average Goldendoodle as they have a higher percentage of Poodle genes. Poodles shed a lot less than Golden Retrievers.

Are Parti Goldendoodles Hypoallergenic?

Parti Goldendoodles are hypoallergenic. The general rule is that the higher the percentage of Poodle genes, the more hypoallergenic the Goldendoodle is. Parti Goldendoodles are very hypoallergenic as they are usually found in cross-back generations like F1b and F1bb.

You can make your dog even more hypoallergenic by keeping up a good grooming routine as it will stop them from releasing allergens into your home.

Your dog’s grooming routine should include both brushing and bathing. A brush down with a slicker brush every other day is ideal to remove any loose hairs. As for washing, a bath with a gentle dog shampoo every 3 months will remove dead skin cells, dirt and debris.

This may not seem that often but you don’t want to over wash your dog otherwise their coat will dry out which will only cause flaky skin which is an allergy irritant.
