Below you will find the Labradoodle “standard” as stated by the ALLA Australian Labradoodle of America.
The coat generally should not exceed 4 inches; should be even over the entire body. Can appear wavy or straight or form spirals, but should not be thick or dense, nor should it be fluffy or fuzzy. Should be a single coat; any sign of an undercoat is opposed. Ranges between fleece and wool in texture. A fleece-textured coat is soft in texture, as in the Angora goat. Can have either a straight, wavy look or a soft, spiraling, curly look. The wool coat is like lamb’s wool in texture. Should have the appearance of loose, spiraling wool, which parts easily to the skin. Should not appear too dense or too tightly curled.
Labradoodles require regular grooming. The haircut is a natural look that will require hand scissoring. The coat should not appear overly groomed. We can set an upkeep schedule that will keep your Labradoodle looking his/her best all the time and save you money too! If you would like to come by our salon with your Labradoodle, we can have a stylist meet with you for pricing.
