A Woolly Coat only happens once in about 6-9 litters. After 14 years of breeding, we have only seen it happen 4 times. In a litter of puppies only 1 or 2 pups in the litter will have a Woolly Coat. While it is not rare, you just don’t see it often in a Labrador breed. These are AKC registered Puppies, from AKC Registered Sire and Dam, the only difference is their coat. The Price is the Same. A Woolly Coated puppy in the litter appears to have a fluffier/thicker coat than its litter mates. As it grows, the fur is softer and it is as soft as a bed of feathers. At about 5-6 months old, the Woolly Coat appears to look exactly like a Light Cream Golden Retriever. Many people have mistaken this Woolly Coated Labrador as being a Golden Retriever. Bathing and Grooming are done exactly the same. The coat is silky, smooth, and tangle free unlike a Golden Retriever. Once all the adult hair comes in on these Puppies' Coats, the texture changes a bit, the second coat becomes a little less silky to the touch but more smooth. There are no guaranties on the Denseness of the adult fur, we have seen more of a wiry feel on one of the Thick Coats we have bred. They are absolutely adorable because they are so fluffy like a baby lamb. Purposefully these dogs should not be placed in a reproduction breeding program, they are only to be cherished as family pets. Because we have see this happen only a few times, if we happen to be lucky enough to have a Woolly Coat Puppy in a litter, you should not hesitate because this is not common in the Labrador Breed, but it is very interesting and becoming more and more sought after.

What the LRC says about a Labrador Coat:
Coat:
"The coat is a distinctive feature of the Labrador Retriever. It should be short, straight and very dense, giving a fairly hard feeling to the hand. The Labrador should have a soft, weather-resistant undercoat that provides protection from water, cold and all types of ground cover A slight wave down the back is permissible. Woolly coats, soft silky coats, and sparse slick coats are not typical of the breed, and should be severely penalized." (Penalized in a Conformation Competition)
