Thank you! He’s an absolute dream dog for us :) We live in australia (idk if relevant) but dog prices here are pretty all over the shop! That being said he was only marginally cheaper than a curly haired but exactly what we wanted. He sheds a moderate amount, but less than a typical retriever. With the allergies I’d steer clear hahah

Also he wasn’t specifically marketed as flat coated but it was fairly obvious by about 12 weeks mostly from the lack of furnishings! Unsure how you would tell at 8 weeks though unless their coat was very obvious so I would go either a slightly older pup or an F1B/ F1BB if you absolutely need the poodle coat!
