Doodle Dysplasia is a recently recognised follicular dysplasia in the "oodle" breeds such as cavoodles , spoodles and labradoodles. It is mainly recognised in orange coloured or pale coloured individuals. It is likely to have an inherited basis , probably through the poodle line. Biopsy is useful to exclude other diseases but the exact histological changes in the hair follicle are yet to be defined. There is no known treatment and some cases will undergo spontaneous remission. Secondary infection is possible and needs to be treated or prevented.
