We wanted one that was going to have a curly coat and I liked her color. Only two females and my husband wanted a female for some reason. I really fell in love with this boy. His color is amazing

Have you done any research in their coat care? With her having a curly coat it will be more poodle like. There a combs/picks that work great to keep mats and tangle out.
They are such a joy to pet. Their coats just feel wonderful! Arthur (the big doodle) LOVES to sit in my lap and let me run my hands through his coat. I find it very soothing!

Doodles are wonderful dogs -- I have a australian labradoodle, he is a joy to have around. Smart and gentle. Coat maintenance is an issue when the puppy coat transitions to adult coat, because those puppy hairs get all matted with the adult hair, but otherwise, its not too bad. I would recommend that you establish a relationship with a good groomer early so he gets used to it. 
Helen what does the australian part mean with your doggy? Is it as simple as that is where he came from?

His lineage is from Australia, where the breed originated, and he is technically multi-generational. My guy is "standard" sized ~47 lbs last time I checked.
Is it true that they don't shed much because they have hair and not fur?

Marla the few I know do not shed much at all AND they are one of the dogs for people who have dog allergies. BUT they have to be groomed like a poodle. It can be done at home IF you have the tools and know how. Well you really do not need the know how unless you don't care how it comes out LOL.

That's awesome Amanda! What fun. Our breeder is growing a dog for us currently. A Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. Our current Toller is 8 years old and has no idea what is coming. He's smart but not that smart.
Hair, not fur. Murphy:
Cutest dog ever!!! I hope mine looks like this!!!
So neat to be able to get a puppy for your dog to help you train and raise. It has worked well for us when we have been able to do it.

Amanda, Murphy's coat looked exactly like your puppy's coat when he was little.
Oh that makes me so happy to hear!!!!
