Hi ,this adorable wee guy is a cross between toy poodle dad and chocolate labrador mum (F1 generation )Can anyone tell what kinda coat he will end up with?

He looks to have inherited the Poodle coat and will need regular clipping. He might shed too in addition to needing to be clipped.

Thank U so much I know it’s hard to tell especially on puppy .

He's definitely curlier than a lab, but doesn't look as curly as either of my boys did as pups (poodle and lagotto, both curly coated breeds). He might have something in between, more of a wavy coat or very loose curls. It's hard to say about the shedding, though, some poodle mixes do wind up shedding their undercoat like a non-curly dog and then having it get caught in their curls, causing a lot of matting that needs to be constantly managed. Either way, plan ahead and get him used to being combed/brushed/clipped early on, and if you want to use a groomer, find one early and start before he needs a full groom so it's less scary for him!
