Wavy/Shaggy Coats:
The wavy or shaggy coat is the most common Goldendoodle coat type. It occurs in all types of Goldendoodle generations, F1's, F1b's and mulitgens, and is fairly easy to maintain. It requires brushing at least once a week, with more frequent brushing in high friction areas (around the ears and under the collar). The wavy/shaggy Goldendoodle coat type CAN be low to non-shedding (in the case of F1b's and multigens) The only way to know for sure is for the breeder to be doing proper coat testing on their parent dogs, Shedding is common though among the F1 generation Goldendoodles.

Curly Coats:
The second most common Goldendoodle coat type is the curly coat, which is more common among F1b or mulitgen goldendoodles because of their poodle lineage. The coat can be anything from a relaxed loose curl to a more curly coat.
This coat type requires more frequent brushing and professional grooming, although it can be shaved down to create a maintenance free coat if the owner prefers. The curly Goldendoodle coat type is low to non-shedding.

Straight Coats:
The least common Goldendoodle coat type is the straight coat, (this is also known as having an improper coat), it is fairly common in F2 Goldendoodles. Often referred to as the Golden Retriever coat, it's very easy to maintain and requires minimal brushing. However, this Goldendoodle coat type does not produce the "teddy bear" look that Goldendoodles are popular for, nor will it produce a "beard" around the muzzle. This Goldendoodle coat type can produce moderate to high shedding coats.
