Doodle Coat Maintance

Shedding a light on shedding

FAQ: Can a Labradoodle shed?

The easy answer most breeders will tell you is NO, and list off f1b, f2b etc. saying some shed less than other but this is not the whole truth. 

A well bred labradoodle is bred genetically to be low to no shed. 


If you breed with the purpose of shed prevention and match up breeding pairs with the desired genetic traits the labradoodle will be low to no shedding! They will still lose hair just like people!

Must Have Tools!

Slicker Bush

You want a sturdy slicker brush with long pins that are strong enough to penetrate your doodles coats to de-tangle any mats or tangles. 


Brush in sections line combing the fur, and then follow with a comb before moving to the next section.


I highly recommend the Chris Christensen slicker brush. You can find it below on amazon.

Greyhound Comb

After line brushing a section of hair using a slicker follow with a greyhound comb. It can find and untangle smaller fairy knots in the coat.


You can find this in most stores, ebay, or below on amazon

Toe Nail Clippers and Styptic powder

Maintaining the length of your dogs nails is important for their feet and joints. 

You need styptic powder in case you clip to close, as it quickly stops bleeding.


Trimmer, file, and Styptic powder kit is available below at amazon
