Which three main categories are breeders generally using to classify Labradoodle coats?
Answer
Hair Coat, Fleece Coat, and Wool Coat
Breeders typically categorize the coat characteristics of Labradoodles into three primary types, reflecting the spectrum of possibilities inherited from the Poodle and Labrador parents. The first is the Hair Coat, which is often shaggy and resembles a Labrador's coat, tending to shed moderately to heavily. The second is the Fleece Coat, described as soft, wavy, and sometimes curly, which sheds less than the hair coat. The third category is the Wool Coat, which is dense and curly, closely mimicking the purebred Poodle coat, and usually offers the least shedding potential for allergy sufferers.
