![]() This is where backcross breeding comes into play. So how do you solve the issue for people who need low rates of shedding and dander when Goldens are so, so known to have high rates? In fact, the original breeder of labradoodles, Wally Conron, had a low success rate of hypoallergenic dogs and he was breeding F1s. We’re not saying Poodles don’t have great personalities, we’re just saying they are bred to create doodles primarily for their coat attributes.īut here’s the problem: You’re not always going to get those coat attributes with an F1 doodle. Goldendoodles and all doodle varieties are bred typically for the personality of one breed, Goldens in our case, and the hypoallergenic characteristics of a Standard Poodle. ![]() Now things are going to get a little trickier, but before they do let’s look at why they will. When two F2 Goldendoodles are bred, you get an F3 Goldendoodle which simply means that the F3’s parents and grandparents were both Goldendoodles.Īfter F3, Goldendoodles who continue to be bred with other Goldendoodles are typically just called “Multi Generational.” When an (F1) Goldendoodle + (F1) Goldendoodle are bred you get an F2 Goldendoodle which simply means that two existing 50/50 hybrids were bred. When breeding our 2 P generation parents, we get an F1 generation which simply means 50/50 of each P Gen, so in this case our (P) Golden Retriever + (P) Poodle = (F1) Goldendoodle. Just think of “P” generation as “Purebred” or “Pedigree” Gen. Starting with the two purebred parents we have the “P Generation” which simply means 100% purebred. For the following examples we will make our doodle breed a Goldendoodle, so a Golden Retriever + Standard Poodle. Let’s start with the parents of any doodle. ![]() Doodles can also be “backcrossed,” but we’ll get to that in a second. ![]() In the case of doods, that’s a Poodle + another breed. Whether you’re searching for a labradoodle, a bernedoodle, or any other type it’s important to understand that doodles are a “crossbreed.” Crossbreeding is the result of two different purebreds being bred. But don’t fret! We’re here to tell you what the F it’s all about. If you’re interested in buying a doodle your head may be swimming by all the generation lingo such as F1, F2, F1b, etc.
