Coat type & Colors Guide
There is a lot of old information still circling about coats and colors, so hopefully this may help clarify some of the confusion of Old vs New. As we are participating in the foundation of a new breed, the Theodore, with the oversight of MDBA, there are some coat types that you will not find amongst our pups as we do breed toward the standard they have determined will be required to achieve the Theodore 'Teddy' appearance.
Coat Types:
UnfurnishedFormally referred to as 'Straightcoat'. This is not a trait we see at Tropicbear, we always select our pairings to eliminate this potential outcome. Pups with this coat lean more toward their cavalier lineage though can still be low shedding.

ShaggyThis coat has only the minimalist of curl if any at all to their coat, giving this adorably scruffy appearance with a very easy to brush, fine, super soft coat. They can sometimes exhibit a bit more shedding as puppies, before taking on the low shed qualities of the curlier coat types.

FleeceFleecy is the classic Teddy coat that people think of when they talk about Cavoodles and Theodores. The lush wavy coat that has an amazingly luxurious texture is rather easy to manage when regularly professionally groomed. This is the coat we strive toward with our Theodore lines.
|
CurlyThis delightfully curly coat has a tendency to form adorable spirally ringlets. Because of the the tight curl some would consider this to be higher maintenance of them all. Our experience is this is only the case if not regularly tended to by a professional groomer.
