Wool and Fleece coats do not noticeably shed but must be maintained. Labradoodles have continuously growing coats and require regular brushing/grooming and clipping. Hair around eyes needs trimming and ears need to be cleaned and checked regularly.
All my breeding dogs are DNA tested to guarantee they do not produce pups that will suffer a range if diseases/conditions known in Labradoodles, Poodle, Labrador and Cocker Spaniel breeds but unfortunately predictive testing is not available for all illnesses/conditions. All parents are Hip and Elbow scored. Selective breeding can lower the genetic risks of pups developing dysplasia. There is a significant environmental component to dysplasia that breeding cannot control. Inadequate/ unbalanced diet, over weight dogs and, over exercising and inappropriate exercise such as jumping, repetitive exercise in young dogs are some environmental risk factors.
* I have read and understood the above information relating to grooming, hip/elbow dysplasia, and illnesses


Preferences for Size, Sex, Coat and Colour

Panda and Woody’s pups will be large Medium to Standard in size
Medium - average 46cm at shoulder ,11-15 kg
Standard- average 55 cm at shoulder, 15 -30 kg
Some variation to size still occurs as the breed develops but I will indicate the variants of each litter.
* Preferred Sex - Please note that desexed Male and Female Labradoodles do not show the variable natures between male and females that are evident in some breeds

There are 3 coat types FLEECE, WOOL, HAIR
"Fleece" and "Wool" are both low to non shedding.
These coats can be very tight curls or looser open waves. "Wool" feels soft- like lamb's wool ( but not greasy) and is usually curlier and "Fleece" feels more like an Angora goat and usually has looser open waves when long. Some coats are best described as half way between these two extremes.
"Hair" or "Combination" means the coat will shed to some degree and tends to look more wiry/scruffy - almost like a terrier.See the website for examples. Hair coats are lower maintenance and often require only minimal trimming and grooming compared to wool and fleece
* Describe the Coat you would prefer. Write in prefered order if open.
Would you consider a Hair /Combination (Shedding) coat?

The only colours available in Panda and Woody’s litter are light colours ( cream), cafe’ and black.
* Colours- tick those you would accept (preference in next question)

if you have preferences within your selected colours please write the order First to Last here -
