There are 3 different coat types for the Australian Labradoodle:

Wool

This coat is the most allergy friendly.  It’s soft, luxurious, thick and full.  The curls are like that of a poodle and this coat is considered to be non shedding.   Wool coats are easy to care for; clipping 3x a year should do the trick.

Fleece

Fleece is very soft and silky, a sort of chenille feel.  It’s absolutely gorgeous! A true fleece should not shed.  The curliness of this coat can range anywhere from wavy to a tight spiral.  This coat requires medium maintenance.  It can be scissored or clipped to a 2” coat twice a year and then allowed to grow back to its long flowing length.

Hair

The hair coat is similar to that of a lab.  It will shed.  Normally, this coat occurs in the early generation Labradoodles such as the first cross of a lab X poodle, F1b and sometimes in F2b. I have never had a puppy with a hair coat.
