Shedding Doodles

I'm wondering how you can tell which parts of his body are shedding. If he has different types of coats on different parts of his body, I guess each could have a different type of growth cycle. I never heard of that, though.

Hi! Cooper is an F2 Labradoodle, his parents and everyone in his litter and previous litter had fleece coats and did not shed. He was flat coated when we got him and his coat totally changed on top at 4 months, he does not shed there and it is a totally different texture. He does shed everywhere else, and recently it has gotten worse. Has anyone ever heard of this phenomena? No shedding on top but sheds on legs and belly? Sue

Jeanine - if your husband has not had a reaction to your dog yet, it us unlikely that he will IMO.  Allergies have nothing to do with the hair shed, but the dander (skin) and saliva.  Gavin is low shedding and usually only sheds in the brush, but in the spring I notice a bit more hair around.  It settles down by summer.  I am allergic to most dogs but not to Gavin no mater how much or how little hair he leaves behind.

Wally is 2 now; We have never found hair on the floors, clothes, furniture etc. It comes off him when I brush him only. Lately I have noticed hair on the carpet after he has played there and on my pant legs where he brushed against. Is this considered shedding? I wonder why he would suddenly start this at 2 years old. (no there have been no major changes, or even minor ones) Any info you can give me is appreciated. We love our dog however my husband is allergic .

Please note--this group is for humans with allergies.  Not dogs who have allergies.

It also serves a purpose for those seeking information about the myth that doodles do not shed <--NOT TRUE in many cases.

Direct Newbies seeking information about Non-shedding issues and Humans who have allergies to dogs to this group.

There is another group that serves Dogs With Allergies.

Thanks

I have a a super-shedding doodle and a Shark vacuum and love them both.  The vacuum works well on my tile floor as well as carpet.

Whole lotta hair.  I have two shedding dogs and family visitors who are shedders too. And then there is the outdoors that is constantly brought in because we have  a doggy door.   I like how easy it is to use though.

Wow Nancy, you must either have a big house or a whole lot of hair!  I only have to empty when I'm finished.  What do you use?

The swiffer isn't that great when there is lots of hair, but it is easy and you can use it often.    You have to empty and change pads part way through the job though.

Hey Carrie.  We have a Dyson Animal, it was a lot of money but it was so worth it.  The Dyson is an awesome vacuum and the Animal is especially for gettting up animal hair.  A borrowed one pulled dog hair out of my carpet after it had been professionally cleaned - this is what convinced me it would be worht the money!!
