The teddy bear cut is the signature style for Labradoodles, perfectly complementing their fluffy, curly-to-wavy coat. Like their Groodle cousins, Labradoodles have a fleece or wool coat that holds the rounded teddy bear shape exceptionally well, creating a soft, huggable appearance that showcases the breed's friendly temperament.

Labradoodles Teddy Bear Cut FAQ

What does a teddy bear cut look like on a Labradoodle?

A Labradoodle teddy bear cut creates a round, fluffy face with the muzzle blended into a ball shape, the body clipped to 1-2 inches evenly, and the legs left slightly fuller. The ears are kept medium-length and rounded at the tips. Given the Labradoodle's size, the teddy bear cut creates an impressively cuddly appearance.

How much does a Labradoodle teddy bear cut cost?

Standard Labradoodles: $90-$140. Medium Labradoodles: $75-$110. Miniature Labradoodles: $65-$95. Labradoodle grooming is priced similarly to Groodles, based primarily on size and coat condition.

How do I prevent my Labradoodle from matting between grooms?

Brush every 2-3 days using the line-brushing method (part the coat, brush from the skin outward). Use a slicker brush followed by a metal comb to catch hidden mats. Pay extra attention to the armpits, groin, behind ears, and where collars or harnesses sit. A shorter body length (3/4 inch) is much easier to maintain than a longer one.

Wool coat vs fleece coat — does it affect the teddy bear cut?

Yes. Wool-coated Labradoodles (tight curls, similar to Poodle) hold the rounded shape longer but mat more easily. Fleece-coated Labradoodles (soft waves) give a more relaxed teddy bear look and are slightly easier to maintain. Both coat types look great with a teddy bear cut, but wool coats need more frequent brushing.

General Labradoodles Grooming Tips

Brush your Labradoodle every 2-3 days with a slicker brush, working through the coat in sections. Check behind ears, under legs, and around the collar for hidden mats. Use a detangling spray for stubborn tangles.
