Labradoodle Coat Types
There are 3 potential coat types for the labradoodle breed.
The Wool, The Fleece and The Hair

Wool coats, named for the obvious similarities to lamb's wool in texture, are ideally not as tightly curled like their poodle ancestry carries. Rather they should be spiralling curls, which open up easily to the skin & the curls are not tightly bound together.
​

Fleece coats have a soft silky texture as in the Angora goat can range between straight beautiful waves in the fur to soft spiralling curls. They are by far the easiest coats to manage.
​

Most hair coats will shed in varying degrees typical of their Labrador cousins and can be shorter or wiry in texture. It is usually seen in early generation dogs such as the first cross of a lab and poodle, F1b, and F2b Labradoodles, but can also pop up as a throw back in multi-gens. These are generally not a allergy-friendly coat .
