Okay, I need friends who still have some marbles left, because I've definitely lost all of mine. So here: Jar one has three-quarters blue marbles and one quarter yellow, for the…"

I am all set to adopt an f2b goldendoodle, however, the breeder just realized that at 7 weeks mine has been shedding a little bit. I was hoping for a shaggy dog. I did not realize that there were…Continue

Karen & Jackdoodle replied to G Brownstein's discussion Smooth goldendoodle?"Here's Adina's old "jar of marbles analogy:
Thinking of JUST an F1b labradoodle for instance. Imagine that poodle genes are blue marbles and lab genes are yellow marbles.A jar of F1 genes that was a pure 50/50 mix you'd have…"
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to G Brownstein's discussion Smooth goldendoodle?"When you read some of the info on breeders' websites, that's what it sounds like, lol- mixing paint. We know that if you mix half black paint and half white paint, you get grey. Well, some breeders seem to think that genetics works…"
BG and Gavin replied to G Brownstein's discussion Smooth goldendoodle?"Careful what you wish for - I have a feeling the marbles picture is going to make an appearance soon. Karen? Joanne? Marbles picture?"
Kathy & Harley replied to G Brownstein's discussion Smooth goldendoodle?"There should be a Doodle101 link on the front page linked to an explanation as to how genetics works. "it's not like mixing paint" cracked me up! "
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to G Brownstein's discussion Smooth goldendoodle?"Even as a puppy, Stuart had the "chrysanthemum" on his muzzle and the long hair above his eyes that indicate the facial furnishings to come."
F, Calla & Luca replied to G Brownstein's discussion Smooth goldendoodle?"Some of us don't even like beards. There are many discussions on wet, smelly beards. I keep both my labradoodles beards trimmed because I like them better that way : ) The do both have full facial hair though."
Elizabeth and Bailey replied to G Brownstein's discussion Smooth goldendoodle?"Hard to tell what his coat will be like, they change so much. No matter what his coat looks like, he is an adorable little guy!! Bailey had a lot of whispy hair and only had a few waves on her ears...with no…"
Adina P replied to G Brownstein's discussion Smooth goldendoodle?"If you really want a goldendoodle that looks a certain way, it may not be too late to back out of this sale. I say this because ALL pups are cute as is this one. But if you are paying for a set of characteristics then it is reasonable to…"
Adina P replied to G Brownstein's discussion Smooth goldendoodle?"62.5% is on average, if you were to look at a sample of ALL F2b goldendoodles. It is not 62.5% in every single pup. "
G Brownstein replied to G Brownstein's discussion Smooth goldendoodle?"Thank you all for filling me in."
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to G Brownstein's discussion Smooth goldendoodle?"Yes, but genetics don't work that way. It doesn't matter how many of the ancestors are Poodles versus how many are Goldens, the genes themselves are separate, and are passed by each parent independently of any others. There are three…"
G Brownstein replied to G Brownstein's discussion Smooth goldendoodle?"I assumed since he is 62.5% poodle that he would be more of a long haired dog."
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to G Brownstein's discussion Smooth goldendoodle?"Your puppy is adorable. It does look like he will have a smooth face; I don't see any signs of "furnishings", which are controlled by one particular gene, so it's likely that he may not have a beard or a shaggy face. The gene for…"
Karen & Jackdoodle replied to G Brownstein's discussion Smooth goldendoodle?"When you have a heavily shedding breed like a Golden on both sides of the pedigree, you have a chance of shedding in the offspring, regardless of percentages. Genetics don't work that way, it's not like mixing paint, lol. For example, the…"
