Australian labradoodle coat care

Puppy coat is very easy to care it is also good to make little grooming,  so the puppy gets used to  the coat grooming. Small trim between the eyes and the muzzle is most often needed 3-4 months old. We give a small trimming course for our puppy family who get good tips for home-made care and grooming.

The first challenging time for Turkish treatment is when the coat changes about 8 months to 1 year when you notice the first coats appear. Then more often the coat treatment is needed to avoid tangling. The turkey is kept clean and clear. Dirty coat makes it cheaper.

Always remember to comb, open mats, wash and dry labradoodle before trimming. Washing the coat is tightening the matt and it is very difficult to comb out.  Dirt coat quickly dulls the blade.

Start trimming from the most sensitive places (the back, the stomach, ears) as the trimmer warms up when using.

Since the labradoodle has to be trimmed regularly, it is good to teach the puppy from small to stand on the grooming table. Be careful not to drop the puppy. Also, do not let the adult dog jump off the table,  the dog should be picked up and removed from the table.

Small trimming needs to be done regularly to keep the bottom of the paws and the put area clean. The puppy must practice several times during the first few months of nail clipping, coat, teeth and ears care. If the puppy is restless during the activities, it is necessary to practice more often. If you can not handle the fur coat with the puppy Please contact the breeder or your experienced trimmer quickly.

Washing a labradoodle

Labradoodle coat needs to be comb coat before washing. Always remember to dilute the shampoo for washing, the ”raw” shampoo takes coat fat.

Why not single-coat should be trimmed too short?

One-legged labradoodle coatshould be cut regularly, but it should not be too short. The best way would be to cut or a trimmerd and leaving coat a bit longer. Too short coat can have negative effects on dog health.

If the labradoodle single coat is run too short it should be avoided in sunshine, cold and  coolness as well. 

Trimming guide “Teddybear”

– Tail may be longer than 10-15 cm.
– The other section can be cut about 3-6 cm.
– Ears almost in the shape of ear. Leave the eyebrow. Leave longer hair on the ears. Not recommended for long spaniel style (hygiene).
– Top coat length 5 to 10 cm.
– Cut over the eyes, leaving a length of about 5 cm. Please don’t  cut the eyelashes, they protect the eyes.
– The muzzle is cut into a teddy-bear-like ”circle”.
–  Leave ”doodleboots” (not as short as a poodle).

If you do not cut coat yourself, you can display a picture as a model for a trimmer.

The purpose of a therapist is to bring people a joy and happyness for their days. The therapy dog and the owner are visiting peoples home.

Where do the therapy dogs go?
nursing homes, hospitals and children’s homes to meet people. Terapy dogs give people’s love, joyfull and happynes.

Our story

My first dog was a dalmatian named Royal. This white/black haired spotted dog was a cheerful, playful, very gentle boy, and always smiling to the guests (the teeth was visible) as some of the Dalmatian do. <3

Years later we thought it would be time for dogs and small-scale breeding. Dalmatians for their gentle nature of course, wash my wish list, but because of the great hair loss they had, i have to give up on the dream. We heard of an allergy-friendly Australian Labradoodle with a really soft, cute teddy bear looking, and easy to train. We went through exploring huge amount of information about Australian labradoodles and we were in contact with breeders in Australia, England, the Netherlands and America. We asked and read the experiences of the new Ald owners on the breed and watched videos from around the world from Australian labradoodles. The more we read and saw, the more secure we were from the line of our new family member.

That’s how we ended up with the Australian labradoodle. And we have been very happy and happy about our decision. <3
