TRUTHS AND HALF-TRUTHS
DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ.
DO YOUR RESEACH AND MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND

  • 89% of First Cross labradoodles shed to some degree.

  • Australian Multi-Generation Labradoodles should not normally shed and a reliable and experienced breeder should in most instances be able to recognize a shedding coat by 7 weeks of age.  The shedding coat has a more wiry double coat appearance with a coarse texture. 
  • Fleece  and Wool Non-Shedding coats are equally hypo-allergenic A  shedding coat whether it be wool or fleece; is usually not hypo-allergenic and is often a double-coat.  One coat is longer and softer while the shorter coat is more wiry and does not lay as smooth.

  • Wool and Fleece coats should be easily recognizable by an experienced breeder normally within a few day of birth.

  • Labradoodles can go through a shedding stage due to change from the puppy coat to the adult coat.  Clipping them during this stage is the easiest option or otherwise the puppy coat must be stripped out or it will mat into the new adult coat.

  • Fleece coats do not turn into wool coats.  Puppy wool coats are quite straight until clipped, once clipped they become much curlier and look very different from the straighter puppy coat.   Excessive clipping can make a fleece coat much thicker and more coarse (much like shaving your legs), but it does not turn it into a wool coat.

  • Test your allergic reaction to a non-shedding Labradoodle with an adult not a puppy, as puppy allergy reaction to a puppy coat is not reliable.

  • Labradoodles have only the health problems they have inherited from the breeds that they consist of; they do not manifest new diseases because they are a cross-bred.

  • Every dog is a cross-bred or we would only have one species wolves/dingos etc.  Every pure bred dog was a cross-bred.

  • Australian Labradoodles and other poodle crossers are not, as has been alleged; nuisance abandoned dogs filling up our animal shelters.

  • Between  2003-2005 RSPCA’s NSW shelters received 13 labradoodles, 9 spoodles, 1 schnoodle and  1 groodle in starkcontrast to pure-bred statistics of 3181 Australian cattle dogs, 1564 labradors and 2411 maltese terriers.
