Did You Know Labradoodles Come in Different Sizes?

We have been surprised to meet people who purchased a standard size Labradoodle only to find out later, sometimes regrettably, that Labradoodles are available in standard, medium and miniature sizes, just like Poodles. So here is some information about Labradoodle size to help you pick the ‘doodle that will best fit your life.

Labradoodle Coats and Colors

Labradoodles come in a variety of colors and coat types. They can be black, silver, brown, lighter brown, shades of cream and red.  They can also be “parti”, meaning that they are white and another color.  Labradoodle coats can be curly, wavy, fleecy or flat (straighter).

How allergy friendly a Labradoodles coat is has a lot to do with just how far back its Labradoodle heritage goes

First cross, or F1 Labradoodles have a very high percentage of shedding coats. There is well over a 50% probability that they will shed. Back cross, or F1-B Labradoodles, tend to be lighter shedding because of the higher percentage of poodle in their genes. Multi-generation Labradoodles tend to be the best for people with allergies or someone who is looking for a non-shedding dog. We breed Australian Multi-generation Labradoodles to produce the most allergy friendly coats possible.
