Traits

Labradoodles are a beautiful breed known for their intelligence and adaptability. They are easy to train but benefit greatly from formal training to ensure lasting good behavior. As loving companions, Labradoodles are wonderful with children and thrive on family interaction. Their non-shedding coats, particularly in multi-generational lines, are a major attraction for families who want their pets to live comfortably indoors as part of the household.

Colours

The range of colours is truly astounding and diverse, giving each dog its own unique individuality. From the beautiful blacks whose coats gleam in the light, to the rich reds, chocolates, creams, partis, and many other variations, their beauty is remarkable. Their coats require regular grooming, with clipping recommended every 8–12 weeks, and thorough brushing every few days to prevent matting, which can become very painful if left unattended.

Coats

Coats may be fleece, wool or hair. Hair coats are shedding coats, and mainly seen in the early generations. Fleece coats have a soft wavy appearance and wool coats have a curly appearance. Both fleece and wool coats are hypoallergenic.

Sizes

There are three size ranges – miniature, medium and standard. The miniature height ranges from 35cm to 42cms with the weight range between 7kg to 13kg. The mediums range from 43 to 52 cm in height and 14 – 20 kg. The standard labradoodle will range from 53 - 63 cm with a weight range of 23 – 30kg.
