MultiGen Australian Labradoodles have two distinct coat types: Fleece and Wool.

The fleece is usually the more preferred because it is easier to maintain and in my opinion it is much more attractive. It is characterized by being much more of a smooth looking coat compared to wool, as it is much more straighter. Furthermore, there are different types of fleece: curly, wavy and loose, with loose being the type most desired because the dog looks most like a Labrador only with a long non-shedding, allergy friendly coat. Curly fleece is not frizzy, it has distinct smooth curls. Wavy and loose look very similar but wavy is slightly more curlier.

The wool coat is best kept at a short length because it is so curly like a poodle that it mats very easily, but it is said to be softer to the touch than a fleece coat.

Grooming your Labradoodle

You will need a pin brush, blunt cut scissors (never use sharp ended scissors when cutting your pets hair) and a buzz trimmer.

If you want your labradoodle to have long flowing hair schedule a full coat brushing once a week to ensure that mats wont build up.

A labradoodles coat is really easy to maintain if you take just 5 minutes once a week to brush it out. My dogs love the time and extra attention they get during this time. Be careful when brushing knots out, it can really hurt them. Sometimes it is best to cut the knot out. Make sure you make this time enjoyable for your dog. Give lots of praise and be patient with them, it takes them a while to get use to this regime and if it is unpleasant for them they will never get use to it.
If you want to keep your labradoodle in a short cut then brushing isn't that important. Their short hair cut should be maintained every 3-4 months.

What to keep trimmed short:

Eyes: Use blunt cut scissors to trim hair once a month or so, for your dog to be able to see.

Ears: Use blunt cut scissors to trim the bottoms of the ears straight across so they wont drop in the water dish, also for sanitary purposes
Beard: Use blunt cut scissors to trim your dog’s beard so they don’t have a goat beard and wont drop in the water dish, also for sanitary purposes.

Private areas: Use the buzz trimmer for this and make sure to wipe it clean after every use. I use alcohol preps. 
This should be done once a month. 

Bathing should be done once a month but can be left unwashed longer because of the labradoodle's fabulous quality of low to no odor. Its easiest to just put them in the shower with you but make sure you don’t get your shampoo or soap in their eyes while rinsing yourself. Only use baby shampoo or dog shampoo that is tearless on your pet so they don’t hurt their eyes.
Also make sure to dry them very well because their hair says wet for a long time, blow-drying coat is highly recommended.
