We offer breeders lifetime support for your groodle puppy.
COAT CURL (The Curl Gene – KRT71)
Groodles can have straight, wavy or curly hair depending on what type of curl gene they inherit from each parent. Even if 2 parents have wavy coats, they can still carry a curl gene and have curly pups in a litter. It’s important to ask your breeder what the coat possibilities are and if they’ve tested for curl.
IMPROPER COAT GENE (THE FURNISHINGS IR IC TEST – RSPO2)
This gene causes the greatest variation in the look of a groodle. The term “furnishings” refers to the longer hair on the face ie. moustache, beard & eyebrows, which give the groodle that “teddy bear” look. Furnishings are a dominant trait so you only need a copy from 1 parent to get the look but you need to do DNA testing of the parents to ensure you don’t get pups that are minus furnishings or affected with “improper coat”.
Please note: Umina Beach Groodles is only breeding furnished groodles.

Curly coats present themselves when each parent of the groodle throws a curl gene (+/+). This coat type is typically found in a poodle.
WAVY

When a groodle gets one curl (+/-) gene from one parents and a non-curl gene from the other, they will have a wavy coat. The wave can vary at times, from being tighter or softer across your groodles body, sometimes referred to as a combination coat.

If a groodle gets a non-curl (-/-) gene from each parent, it can have a rather straight coat. Unlike the flat coat, it is accompanied by furnishings and a “fluffy” texture.
