Keeping up with Grooming
Australian Labradoodles are known for their charming looks and soft, wavy and curly coats—but that coat requires consistent care to stay in tip-top shape. Without regular brushing, doodles are prone to matting, which can be painful and lead to skin issues. Aim to brush your doodle at least three to four times a week (daily is even better), especially in high-friction areas like behind the ears, under the collar, and around the legs.
Baths every few weeks help keep their coat fresh, but always brush before bathing to avoid setting tangles in place. Don’t forget the little things—like trimming nails, cleaning ears, and checking for any skin irritations. And while at-home care is essential, a visit to a professional groomer every 6–8 weeks keeps their coat manageable and your doodle feeling their best!

What is a multi-generational Australian Labradoodle?
Multi-generational Australian Labradoodles are a cross between many different parent breeds. The breed originated in Australia in the 1980s with the intent of creating an allergy-friendly service dog for the blind. Australian Labradoodles are a combination of a Poodle, Labrador Retriever, English Cocker Spaniel, American Cocker Spaniel, and Irish Water dogs. These breeds were hand-selected for specific breed qualities to create the ideal service dog for those with allergies. Since then, the breed has continued on and spread across the world. Australian Labradoodles are now considered their own breed with its own breed clubs (ALAA and WALA).
