Appearance and coat of the Flatdoodle
If you suffer from allergies, the Flatdoodle could be just the right pet for you. They usually inherit the typical coat of the poodle, just not as curled as dense. If the poodle comes through more, they do not shed a lot of hair. In this breed the coat grows back like human hair. Therefore you have to regularly take them to the dog salon to be shorn. However, with a little practice you can also groom them by yourself. The Flatdoodle breed can have many different colours: They are the same possibilities as in the Flatcoated Retriever

- beige are possible.
Usually the coat is a mixture of the slightly wavy, long coat of the flat coated retriever and the curls of the poodle.
