Phantom colorings in the Labradoodle.
The Hair Coat
Hair coats usually resemble a Labrador Retriever in the coarseness of the
texture. It can vary from very short and straight like a Labrador Retriever
to a more wavy to even large curls. This is the coat that is more likely to
have the highest volume of shedding. Least Grooming Maintenance

I have been in search of a high quality dog food that was based on what
a dog's diet would be if they were living in the wild and was very blessed
to find this particular brand, "Taste of the Wild" I am personally very
pleased with the results in feeding this to all of my breeding dogs, not to
mention, they absolutely LOVE it! This food is a grain free - all life stages
food meaning that you can feed it to puppies and adults alike. Here is
the website for products, ingredients and nutritional values.

A Premium Quality Diet is Essential for a
Happy Healthy Doodle!
Coats:
Fleece coats are moderately curly, and long. They require little grooming until the puppy reaches between eight
and fourteen months, at which time the adult coat replaces the puppy coat. Since the puppy coat does not shed, it
must be stripped out completely to prevent matting. During the change from puppy to adult coat, your labradoodle
must be brushed thoroughly each week.

Wool coats are very easy to care for and require little weekly care, especially if regular grooming is
performed. Clipping 2-3 times per year depending on preference and a complete monthly brush out will
usually keep a wool-coated labradoodle free of mats.

Face:
Hair around the muzzle should be kept trimmed, especially around the mouth and chin (this will keep food in the
dish and not on the labradoodle and in the home). Hair should be kept trimmed around the eyes for clear vision
and eye health.

Ears:
Special attention should be paid to the health of your labradoodle's ears. Hair can grow in the ear canal and needs
to be plucked. To improve air flow and reduce the risk of ear infections, hair should be shaved around the ear
canal opening and kept short on the neck.

Feet/Nails:
Nails should be trimmed year round and hair around the bottom of the pads should be trimmed. Snow
balls up around the bottom of the feet and in between the pads, so keeping the hair trimmed keeps your
labradoodle and your home cleaner.

Teeth:
To keep your labradoodle's teeth shiny, free of tartar and bright white, raw meaty bones are
recommended. Bones must never be cooked!

Bathing:
Your labradoodle requires little to no bathing. Even when covered in mud, if your labradoodle's coat is left to dry,
the mud will fall out or can easily be brushed out. If you do bathe your labradoodle, shampoo should be squeezed
through the coat, not rubbed, and then rinsed thoroughly. Your labradoodle should then be allowed to air dry
completely before brushing.

Grooming preferences:
Whether you keep your labradoodle trimmed short or long and free-flowing is a matter of personal
preference and circumstances.
