What coat type does an adult Poodle have?Ī Poodle’s adult coat is a thick, dense, coarse, single-layer coat of very curly hair. A Poodle that has not been fixed can experience coat changes also, often seen as thinning, sometimes only in patches that can get so thin you can easily see the skin. Genetics play a part, but in general, Standard Poodles go through the coat change later but faster, with the coat change starting around 9 to 16 months but only taking around 3 months to complete, whereas the smaller guys like Toy Poodles may take the longest, around 9 months or so. This coat change can happen again around the 2 year mark when the adult coat is fully through, but some Poodles won’t grow in to their full adult coat until they are 3 years old. Suddenly a pup’s easy-care coat becomes very tangle and knot-prone, and will form nasty mats if knots are not quickly found and removed.īeing ‘non shed’ (although they actually do shed), and because the Poodle’s wool coat is so curly, dead hair just gets trapped in the coat, so knots can form surprisingly fast. The work put in when young will make the world of difference.Īnywhere from around 6 to 10 months of age, the curlier adult coat will start to come through and that soft, wavy puppy coat will fall out. Poodles are a breed which should be introduced to grooming at a young age to get them used to being brushed, scissored and clipped regularly for the rest of their life, even though the puppy coat won’t require much maintenance until they are older.
