There should be no body odor and little to no shedding with this coat. Regardless of the wave or curl this coat must be groomed in order to remain mat free. It can range from being almost straight, (open fleece) with just a few waves in it (wavy fleece) to coat that almost has the look of a spiral perm (curly fleece).

Standards: 21–24 inches in height and 51 to over 65 lbs in weight. Mediums: 17–20 inches in height and 31-49 lbs in weight. Miniatures: 14–16 inches in height and 15-29 lbs in weight.

Labradoodles come in three officially recognized sizes, which is a standard set by the Australian Labradoodle Association of America for the Australian Labradoodle and the Labradoodle.
