most of the Labrador cross poodles I have met moulted like crazy, a lot ended up I rescue due to this!

 

Unfortunately the nature of crossbreeds is that you do not know what you will end up with. Labradors are very heavy, all year round shedders. It sounds as though your cross has inherited the Lab side and will likely shed 365 days a year for life. Invest in a good hoover.

 

Hi
It's only started the last couple of days surely it would have stated before he has had hair in his bed but would expect this as he's moving etc bought a zoomagroomer yesterday he will be bald if he carries on !!!

 

Could be puppy coat. My lab moults more than my golden but I didn't have the lab as a pup so can't really say what he was like as a youngster!

 

My son had a Labradoodle. You'd never have know it was a cross, as a puppy she was exactly like a Labrador and as she grew she was like a shorter but stockier version of a Lab but with a growing coat, not curly but it did go a bit wavy and shaggy when it was long. She was absolutely terrible for moulting, hair everywhere. She used to go to the groomers 2 or 3 times a year when at her shaggiest and always came back with what looked like a normal Lab coat.

 

Could be his adult coat coming in....could be the recent warm weather.

Or a combination of the 2

If it was me I'd give him a bath ( gets rid of all the loose hair) and a really thorough grooming session afterwards, involving a slicker brush and a comb.

Chances are good his excessive shedding will cease immediately.

 

First I have no experiences of poodles, but we got our first labrador 24 years ago. There have been six over the years. Every single one of them shed a humongous amount of hair twice a year. It lasts for about a month usually.
I bath them near the end of the "moult". I brushed them everyday for weeks. It never seemed to make a dent in the amount of hair that came from them.

Definitely invest in a good brush, oh and one of those sticky rollers for your clothes. I would not change my dyson for anything. I would also not change my dogs for anything, it lasts a couple of months a year and the rest if the time , there is hair about, but I don't notice it other people might . My children used to tell their friends when I fed them that they might get a freebie, but not to mind they were free. Poor souls they probably didn't realise there was a high probability of at least one hair ending up in someone's dinner.

 

Unfortunately many do shed quite a lot. Just keep on top of grooming, regular clipping will help and prevent any matts which are quite easy to get when the coats curly but sheds.

The groomer I use a absolutely dreads first generation Poodle crosses.

I'm a groomer and a do dread them, nice dogs but most often become matted because of the coat type.hmy:
