What are the grooming requirements for a Labradoodle?
You should brush your puppy often to get him accustomed to the routine. Brush all the way down to the root where mats start. As his adult coat starts to come in (at 6-9 months) there is often matting of their fur since puppy hair is coming out and getting tangled in adult hair. Many Doodle owners choose to shave their dogs during this time to eliminate matting. Usually, once the adult coat has come in, a good brushing each week will keep matting at a minimum. Some grooming tools that you may want to try are steel combs and slicker brushes.
