Her name is Samantha, she is about 18 months old and much to my surprise, I found that she sheds about as much as any other shedding dog. And her hair grows like a Poodle's so she needs haircuts as well, though not very often. I think it all depends on whether your dog is more like a Poodle or more like a Lab. There is another Labradoodle in the obedience class I take her to and Hannah's owner tells me the same thing-sheds, needs haircuts. That being somewhat of a drawback to some, I will also say that her good points are many- she is about the most loving dog you could ever hope for, wicked smart and has developed a rather large fan base thanks to her charming personality. They do seem to need a lot of exercise and I'm told they do not exhibit as many as the health problems as either Poodles or Labs but she has some urinary tract problems which seem unique to her as opposed to a common problem with the breed. Best of luck with your search! Pat
