What fur type is this?

Posted at: 2014-06-09 
Is this wire fur? Or Curley? I'm not really sure. I want to know what fur type he is. Anyways, this is my one month and 8 day old puppy, he's not with me yet, still at the breeders, can't take him home till he's 9 weeks.
Puppies are born with a fuzzy baby coat, and it sheds out as they grow their adult coat around 3 months of age. With the baby coat still on, it can be hard to tell. Your puppy looks like a schnoodle, which can either have the wire-hair characteristic of a schnauzer, a soft and curly poodle coat, or something in between. Your puppy looks like he will be on the wire-haired end of the spectrum, but there is always a chance that he will develop a curlier coat later on. I hope this helps, and your puppy-to-be is very adorable!
It's hard to tell in young puppies, you usually can't really tell their coat type until around 12 weeks (3 months) but you can usually have a pretty accurate guess. I would say, from my experience, this dog is going to be more of a wired hair dog.
