Will my puppy have long or short hair if parents have different coats?

Question

Tony's mother is a long haired dog and his father is a short haired one and my question is will tony be a long haired dog or a short haired one? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male

This will depend on the genes he got from both his mother and father. There is likely a 50/50 chance that he will be either. I am afraid you may have to wait it out until Tony loses his baby hair and grows his adult hair.
