First Cross Labradoodles

Other photo galleries:

The dog above is Henry. He started life as a very smooth coated puppy - very "Lab like" but at 15 months he had still grown into a "shaggy dog".

Sophie Lee Doodle Shaw and her sister Sally  grew to very different sizes – Sally in particular has "Big Bones"! They have typical moderately shaggy coats.

Tilley Tremblay at 6 and 12 weeks and then at 12 months with her brother Jo. Tilly has a non shedding coat like a "flokati rug" and Jo has a coarser coat and sheds moderately. I had hoped that both dogs would be low shedding but was more confident with Tilly than Jo.

Hawkeye Robinson (above) wasn’t a shaggy pup but grew into a typical moderately shaggy dog – at 12 months he was very nearly eaten by the Cougar kitten pictured here. Some 'doodles live very exciting lives a long way away from western New South Wales – in more than just distance!

Rupert Southwick Below is a truly woolly doodle. He has a non-shedding curly coat – not as curly as a poodle but very similar. His haircut was dramatic but as you can see it began to grow back in no time and because he was clipped all over he looks like a labradoodle still rather than a poodle. On the page of photos specifically devoted to coat types you will see how NOT to clip a labradoodle.
