Australian Labradoodle Colors and Coats

Australian Labradoodle Coat Types

Inconsistent Coat

Sometimes abbreviated as "IC."

Hair Coat

Varies in thickness/length on different parts of body. Low maintenance but does shed at varying degrees. Not recommended for families with allergies.

Fleece Coat

Most Desirable. Soft. Curl varies. Typically non-shedding and good for people with allergies. Minimal to moderate grooming. Longer coats are kept, the higher the maintenance.

Wool Coat

A Hypo-Allergenic Coat: tightly curled with a coarse texture (sometimes wavy). Mostly non shedding and allergy friendly. More grooming, especially when coat is longer.

Australian Labradoodle Coats at the Corral

Coat types vary among all size doodles (Micro, Mini, Small-Meidum and Standard). At the Labradoodle Corral, we mostly produce a fleece coat. Wool coats are saved for the super sensitive allergy family. But a fleece coat is very soft, giving you that teddy bear feel, great look and the least maintenance.
