Coat Types
Australian Labradoodles have three broad coat types, namely, wool, fleece and hair. Each looks and feels very different, so it is important to understand the differences between them.
Australian Labradoodles are known for being non-shedding and whilst most of them are due to their wool and fleece coats, the hair-coated dogs do shed to varying degrees, just like Early Generation Labradoodles AKA F1. We do our best to produce non-shedding dogs and we give our honest advice and opinion on our puppies coats, but we do not have a crystal ball and nature can do funny things. No breeder can genuinely guarantee that any dog will be non-shedding.
Fleece
The two variations are wavy fleece and curly fleece.
The loose or wavy fleece coat is very soft in texture with a slight wave to it. it blows in the wind or when the dog run. This coat type is what most people think of as the typical Labradoodle look.
The curly fleece is soft in texture with loose curls. It is not sprung, so it tends o straighten out a little when it grows longer. This coat is also what most people think of as the typical Labradoodle look.
Both types are non-low shedding and hypo-allergenic.
Wool
The wool coat is course in texture and very curly. It is sprung and therefore sits up off the dogs back giving the illusion that the dog is bigger. This coat is very much like that of the Poodle. It is non-low shedding and hypo-allergenic.
