Flat Coated Doodles vs. Straight Coated Doodles: What’s the Difference?

Flat Coated and Straight Coated Doodles each bring their own charm and appeal to the world of designer dogs. Flat Coated Doodles, with their softer, unfurnished coats, resemble breeds like Golden Retrievers, Aussies, or Bernese Mountain Dogs, perfect for families who love that classic look and don't mind shedding. On the other hand, Straight Coated Doodles inherit the fluffier, low-shedding coats from their Poodle lineage, making them ideal for those with mild allergies. Whether you prioritize grooming ease or crave a low-maintenance companion, understanding these coat types will help you find the perfect Doodle for your home.
