My poodle puppy has wavy hair. Will she get curly or is she a mix?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | 2 months and 13 days old | 4 lbs

I adopted my puppy 1 months ago. The owner told me that both of her parents were poodles(her mom is poodle. I saw her but i dont know her father) She doesnt have curles, just a bit waves. Its not a problem for me at all but people keep saying such things "she isnt a poodle" "she wont have curles" and it's annoying. Could u please tell me (if she is mixed) is there any chance to have curly hair? if not i will just tell when they ask that she is mixed.

Fifi is still a puppy so she has a puppy coat. Her adults coat will grow in between 4-6 months of age. If she does not develop the curly coat at the point, you may look into genetic testing. I recommend the company Wisdom Health. I hope this helps.
