GOLDEN DOODLE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does F1, F1B, and F2B mean?

F1 and F1B are used by breeders to refer to what generation the puppy is compared to the original dam and sire. 

F1 - A first generation goldendoodle whose parents are a golden retriever and a poodle, an even 50/50 mix.  The genetics can create a wide variety of colors and fur types, ranging from super curly to straight, wavy, and long.  Our sire Captain is an F1.

F1B - A second generation goldendoodle whose parents are a goldendoodle and a poodle, meaning the puppy is 75% poodle and 25% golden retriever. This creates a more hypoallergenic dog with an extremely desirable coat quality and much less likely chance of shedding.  Our dam Tiger is an F1B.

F2B -  Our puppies are F2Bs.  This generation is rare and highly sought after, as most breeders don't have the patience to breed to this level. It's the optimum mix of poodle coat and good-natured golden retriever temperament. 

 

(62.5% Poodle and 37.5% Golden Retriever) is a cross between an F1 Goldendoodle (50% Poodle, 50% Golden Retriever) and an F1B Goldendoodle (75% Poodle, 25% Golden Retriever).   This F2B Goldendoodle generation has significant poodle genes which results in a mostly wavy or curly coat.  F2Bs generally have less shedding and are more hypoallergenic. 

What size will my goldendoodle puppy be?

Goldendoodles can come in many sizes! 

Micro Mini - 15-25 pounds

Mini - 25-35 pounds

Medium - 35-50 pounds

Standard - 50 - 90 pounds

Genetics can always throw out unpredictable outcomes, but the best predictor of size is to take the weight of the parents and average them.  Tiger is a small-medium goldendoodle; she weighs 37 pounds.  Captain is a mini goldendoodle, weighing 25 pounds.  Their puppies should fall into the mini size range, from 25-35 pounds. 

Our predictions are based on current puppy sizes, parent sizes, and the best information available; however, we absolutely can not guarantee sizes, as genetics are inherently unpredictable.
