Which Doodle Sheds the Least?

Minimizing shedding is often a top priority for doodle enthusiasts. While no dog is truly 100% hypoallergenic, higher Poodle-content mixes typically shed less. Let’s compare popular doodles.

Goldendoodles

• F1b or Higher: Usually the best for low shedding, thanks to around 75% Poodle genetics.

• F1: May shed moderately, depending on coat type.

Labradoodles

• Like Goldendoodles, Labradoodle coats vary. Generally, the more Poodle in the mix, the lower the shedding.

Bernedoodles and Aussiedoodles

• Both can be low-shedding if they have curly or wavy coats with strong Poodle influence.

• Straight coats might shed more.

Tips for Even Less Shedding

• Regular Grooming: Consistent brushing helps capture loose hair before it falls around the house.

• Professional Grooming: Every 6–8 weeks can manage coat length and prevent matting.

In the doodle world, those with higher Poodle percentages (such as F1b, F2b, or multigenerational lines) typically shed the least. Among Goldendoodles, an F1b or higher-generation puppy will give you the best odds of minimal shedding.
