Yes, Labradoodles Shed
Don’t believe all the hype about Labradoodles.
They are definitely cute, but keep in mind that they are not yet considered a breed and therefore, the puppies that come from the breeders are still coming out every which way but loose. The coats are hard to guarantee when it comes to color, texture, and curliness.
My sister recently got a Labradoodle puppy and she’s an absolute cutie. Honestly, I think she looks mostly like a typical Lab, only with a coat that feels longer and wilder. She is a first generation pup, which means her parents were a Poodle and a Lab, which many breeders feel gives the dogs more genetic diversity. It also means less chance for some of the breed-specific genetic disorders.
Super, the Labradoodle my sister and her family just got from a breeder here in Florida, has a great disposition. Nothing bothers her and she is brave and strong. But, she sheds and the hard sell some of the breeders are giving folks about the non-shedding aspects of the “breed” is what led my sister to choose a Labradoodle.
They absolutely shed. If you really want a non-shedding dog, stick to a full poodle or something like a Maltese.
