Grooming at 6 months?

Buddy is a healthy 6 months old Labradoodle. He's in good health but seems to be very warm in this strong California heat. He's brushed every other day but he has a thick coat: Can anyone give advice as to when/how he should be groomed? His coat is wirey and a little curly.

Thanks !

I would say at least twice a week, the more you brush the less chance of shedding. It will probably also help with how hot the dog will be.

Everyone says not to cut them but I feel it's up to the family and the time they have to spend grooming it is much worse for their skin if they are not brushed and get matted up than to be shorter haired. When they matt their skin cannot breathe and causes a lot of other problems once that happens so I say do whats best for you and your Doodle. Laughing
