Doodle Care

Here's what you need to know about caring and grooming a doodle. 


Schedule Spaw Appointment

Doodle are so cute, here's what you need to know

The international designer breed | Goldendoodles

Doodles are mixed breed dogs that combing poodles and golden retrievers. Monica Dickens crossed breeds back in 1969.


They have the following characteristic:

  • High Energy  
  • Combinations Coat (Curly hair from Poodles and double coats from Golden Retrievers) 
  • Active brains 
  • Require minimum of 30 minutes of play daily with owner. 


Doodles and their unique coats:

  • Due to a curly under coat and straight top coat in most cases. Daily brushing is required. The quickly growing undercoat gets trapped if not brushed out. 
  • Use a wire brush for daily brushing.
  • Use a metal comb if tangles start to develop in between grooming.


My Doodle is matted, can you brush it out?

  • Due to the pain and irritation caused by matting, we cannot brush it out. We will have to shave down the Doodle and start a new coat. 
  • Once a hair becomes matted, they turn into small lump of solid hair  at which point they can't be brushed out. 
  • It is also possible to just cut off the commonly matted areas behind the ears, between the legs, behind the rear legs and under the neck.

Caring for your doodles coat and what you should know

The Poodle Side

Poodles have curly hair that don't shed regularly. For this reason they are considered hypoallergenic. 

The Golden Retriever Side

Retrievers have a double coat. The undercoat sheds twice a year with daily common shedding throughout the rest of the year. 

What does that do to a Doodle?

What does that do to a Doodle?

Doodles then have curly hair that sheds constantly. Due the to the hair being curly and the constant shedding, mats develop quickly.

What does that do to a Doodle?

Because of the high energy in retrievers, doodles should be introduced to grooming at the puppy stage. Get them used to being brushed and bathed. Puppies get used to the blow dryer noises and learn that they are going to be ok.

The curly hair from the poodle side wanted to stay trapped in the coat, the retriever wants to shed. How can you control this? Brush daily, brush often, just keep brushing... 


If the curly hair is brushed out then matting will be recued.
