| Labradoodles, Goldendoodles and Double Doodles (North American Retrievers) with 'fleece' coats usually require about an hour of grooming each week. The time is variable depending upon the length of the coat and the size of the dog. The long, flowing coats require more frequent brushing to prevent mats. Keeping the coat cut to a length of less than 2" means they require less brushing, but more time (or money) is spent trimming the coat to that length. Fleece coats can be found in some F1B Labradoodles and Goldendoodles, and in some multigeneration Labradoodles and Goldendoodles, and in Double Doodles. It is important to work with an experienced breeder in choosing a dog with a fleece coat, because these generations can also have very high-maintenance wool coats. An experienced breeder can usually distinguish between fleece coats and wool coats in puppies.
