Poodles have curly hair that don't shed regularly. For this reason they are considered hypoallergenic.
Retrievers have a double coat. The undercoat sheds twice a year with daily common shedding throughout the rest of the year.
Doodles then have curly hair that sheds constantly. Due the to the hair being curly and the constant shedding, mats develop quickly.
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.
