They really are so cute, Kathie! I just want you to know that when I first met my husband, he had a black lab puppy (her name was Needles, after the Space Needle in Seattle, long story) and I was horribly allergic to her, but I loved her and was willing to put up with it. Along comes our son and he is allergic and has asthma so Grandma and Grandpa (who lives right on our street) takes Needles just to sleep at their house and then she goes with my husband, Grandma and Grandpa to work every day, so it's still hubby's dog, but now is really Grandpa and Grandma's dog as well. So, Needles had to be put to sleep (it broke our heart!), and eventually we really wanted to get another dog, and the only reason we got a doodle was because we heard they were hypoallergenic (I studied the breed for 6 months). I found out that F1B's are the best for us and our Shaggy (see pictures) has been the best gift at this time in our lives. We lost both of my parents at age 56 an 62 in the last year and he has really kept our spirits up when we needed it. No allergy or asthma problems, a real blessing. Our breeder also had F1's who were beautiful that I would have loved to have adopted, whether or not the hair was curly or not. So, I have to tell you, I love your dogs and I would adopt one of them if we didn't have allergy and asthma problems. A true animal lover and lover of the breed wouldn't really care if the dog has curly hair or not, but most people I found get doodles because of the allergy and/or shedding problem. I wish I could help and I wish you lots of luck. I'm sure no one means to be critical but I have noticed on the board that sometimes people are that way but I'm sure they don't mean to be. Anyways, good luck to you and I hope that they get placed in loving homes.
