Top 10 Doodle Breeds Ranked by Shedding

Doodle dogs are super popular for their cute looks and charming personalities — plus, many people think they’re all hypoallergenic. But here’s the scoop: not all doodles are created equal when it comes to shedding. Some hardly shed at all, while others can leave a bit of fuzz on your couch.

To help you pick the perfect pup for your lifestyle (and lint roller budget), here’s a rundown of ten popular doodle breeds ranked by how much they shed — from least to most. And just to make things easier, I’ll also include a quick note about their coat types. Let’s dive in!


Labradoodle - Shedding Rank: 10 (least shedding) 


Coat Types:

  • Curly: Almost like a Poodle, super low-shedding and great for allergy sufferers.

  • Wavy: The classic “teddy bear” coat, still pretty low-shedding.

  • Straight: More like a Labrador, so these can shed a bit more. If you’re looking for a super low-shedding Labradoodle, go for an F1B or multi-gen with more Poodle genetics.


Bernedoodle - Shedding Rank: 9


Coat Types:

  • Curly: The best for minimizing shedding — it traps loose hair in the curls.

  • Wavy: A nice middle ground — still pretty low-shedding.

  • Straight: Less common, but these can shed more. Bernedoodles are known for being super chill and affectionate — and they usually keep shedding to a minimum.


Goldendoodle - Shedding Rank: 8


Coat Types:

  • Curly: Low-shedding and hypoallergenic-like, thanks to that strong Poodle influence.

  • Wavy: The crowd favorite — still very manageable on the shedding front.

  • Straight: The most shedding-prone of the bunch, especially in F1s. If you’re worried about hair all over your clothes, pick a Goldendoodle with a curlier coat.


Sheepadoodle - Shedding Rank: 7


Coat Types:

  • Curly: The top pick for low shedding — think of a fuzzy, curly teddy bear.

  • Wavy: Slightly easier to brush but still pretty low on shedding. Sheepadoodles are known for being goofy and fun — and for keeping your floors relatively fur-free.


Aussiedoodle - Shedding Rank: 6


 Coat Types:

  • Curly: The best option for low shedding.

  • Wavy: Usually moderate, but more manageable than a full Aussie coat.

  • Straight: A bit more prone to shedding, especially in F1s. Aussiedoodles are smart cookies with energy to spare — and a well-maintained coat means less fur around the house.


Irish Doodle - Shedding Rank: 5


Coat Types:

  • Curly: Usually low-shedding and allergy-friendly.

  • Wavy: Can vary, but typically moderate. Irish Doodles are a bit less common but have that adorable, shaggy look — just be ready for some brushing.

Double Doodle - Shedding Rank: 4


Coat Types:

  • Curly: The best choice for minimal shedding.

  • Wavy: Depends on which parent is more dominant. Double Doodles combine the best of Labradoodles and Goldendoodles — but the coat type can vary, so always ask your breeder what to expect.


Cavapoo - Shedding Rank: 3


Coat Types:

  • Curly/Wavy: Can be fairly low-shedding but often needs regular brushing.

  • Straight: More prone to shedding, especially if the Cavalier’s coat comes through. These little guys are affectionate lap dogs, but they can shed more than other doodles.


Cockapoo - Shedding Rank: 2 


Coat Types:

  • Curly: Lower shedding, but regular grooming is key.

  • Wavy/Straight: Tends to shed more, thanks to the Cocker Spaniel side. Cockapoos are known for their big, soulful eyes — but their coats can leave a bit of hair behind.


Schnoodle - Shedding Rank: 1 (most shedding) 


Coat Types:

  • Curly: Best for controlling shedding.

  • Wiry: More like a Schnauzer — can shed quite a bit. Schnoodles are spunky little doodles, but if you’ve got a wiry coat, expect some shedding.


How to Keep Doodle Shedding Under Control

Even the most low-shedding doodle can leave a trail of fur if you skip regular grooming. The good news? A little TLC goes a long way.


Jenna Stone, founder of JennaLee Designer Doodles, says, "All of our pups should be non to minimal shedding. If you have a doodle from elsewhere and it sheds regularly, you should get them groomed more often to eliminate some of the extra fur."


First things first: brush that doodle with frequency! A slicker brush or a good de-shedding tool helps remove loose hair before it ends up on your couch. For curly coats, aim for at least 3-4 times a week to keep mats at bay. For wavy or straighter coats, a quick brush every other day can make a big difference.


Bathing your doodle every 4-6 weeks with a gentle, dog-friendly shampoo also helps keep shedding down. Look for a deshedding shampoo (like this one) that’s designed to loosen dead hair and strengthen the coat.


And don’t forget the vacuum attachments and lint rollers — trust me, they’ll be your best friends, especially during seasonal coat changes. Check out some anti-shedding products here.


With the right tools and a little routine, you’ll keep your doodle looking (and your home feeling) squeaky clean.


Keep Shedding Amounts in Mind When Picking Your Doodle

Coat type plays a big role in how much hair ends up on your furniture, so it’s always worth chatting with breeders about what to expect.


If you’re all about that low-maintenance lifestyle, stick with the curlier coats. But no matter which doodle you pick, regular grooming is key to keeping their coats healthy — and your floors hair-free.

Forum mavzularida Pinco tez-tez tilga olinadi, ayniqsa oddiy bonuslar va yaxshi o‘yin tanlovi haqida so‘rashsa. Ba’zilar, bonus haqida ma’lumot izlashga hojat yo‘qligini, hammasi aniq ko‘rsatilganini yozishdi — hatto yangi foydalanuvchilar uchun ham tushunarli. Kimdir hafta davomida faollik uchun bepul aylantirish olganini yozdi, boshqasi esa dam olish kunlaridagi turnirlar juda raqobatli emas, lekin qiziqarli ekanini aytdi. Slotlardan stol o‘yinlariga tez o‘tish mumkinligi ham maqtalgan. O‘qiganlarimdan xulosa qilsam, Pinco shunday platforma ekanki, oddiy o‘yin o‘ynab ham, ortiqcha ovvoragarchiliksiz yaxshi bonuslar olish mumkin. Kimdir ularning jackpot slotlarini sinab ko‘rganmi?
