Labradoodles are VERY intelligent and easily trained, so I know what you’re saying about continuing to train them.

It’s because of pups like yours that have been bred with so many health problems that I do the DNA testing and offer the guarantees that I do. No one (and no DOG) should have to go through that kind of issues when it’s preventable.

Thanks for visiting my site. If you’re ever in the neighborhood feel free to come visit. I LOVE to talk doodles.

It’s true that some Labradoodles do not shed. No one can truthfully guarantee that none of them will. Of a litter, some won’t shed at all, and some will shed less than half what a pure bred lab does. I’ve got 3 purebred Labs, so am familiar with how terribly they can shed. Mine are also in the house a lot, so that’s when you do really notice it.

My f1 Labradoodle pups generally have large waves rather than the fleecy coats of a poodle. This makes them much easier to keep groomed with a brushing once a week or so to keep them looking nice. Poodles need to be brushed daily and clipped about every 6 weeks to look nice and stay de-matted.Some of the pups get the very full long coats, and some have more a lab coat with the facial hair. Some may try to tell you that you can tell on the pups which will shed, but they’re not being up front. A Labradoodle, like a poodle, will often shed its puppy coat and develop an adult coat at at around 10 - 14 months of age and sometimes the one that grows back will be shedding where the puppy coat wasn’t… and sometimes the adult coat won’t shed after the puppy coat did.

Not trying to discourage or confuse you, but I do prefer to be honest so people who get my pups keep them and are happy with them.

If you have more questions or would like to visit the pups and moms, please feel free to ask.

Sincerely,
Tink

It would be wonderful if all breeders were conscious of this, but as with everything, there are good and bad breeders and it’s up to buyers to do their homework before they commit to one.
