About English Goldendoodles
Colors:
Our Teddy Bear English Goldendoodles are primarily ultra cream to light blond, but we do occasionally have chocolate, black, reds and parti colors. When we breed our soft-coated English Goldens for F1 Goldendoodles, we have actually had non-shedding F1Teddy Bear English Goldendoodles.
About Goldendoodle Generations Description & Coat Types
The first generation (F1) standard size Goldendoodle was the first to be bred. It is the product of a standard Poodle crossed with a Golden Retriever. Most first generation Goldendoodles shed lightly. Some can have moderate to severe shedding.
F1 Goldendoodles are compatible for most families with MILD allergies.
F1 Litters will have a variety of Coat types, they can vary from loose wavy curls to a more curlier, less shedding coat. My F1 English cross has proven to produce the most consistent Teddy Bear Goldendoodles.
The Second Generation (F2) Goldendoodle is basically the same thing as the F1 Goldendoodle (50%/50%). Originally , Goldendoodle breeders believed that the F2 breeding would be the most consistent looking, I had even posted that information on this page, but my personal experience proven this to be the opposite. I have found that I do get very extreme beautiful Teddy Bear Goldendoodles from an F1X F1 breeding, , but I also get very straight coated retriever looking goldendoodles.
The back-cross (F1B) Goldendoodle is produced by crossing a F1 Goldendoodle with a Poodle. F1B Goldendoodles will have a higher success rate for non-shedding, and are recommended for families with moderate to severe allergies. They also have a variety of coat types, some are straight fleece coast and some are curly coats. So far all of our F1B's are totally non-shedding. Henry Maxwell is a loose wavy F1B, he looks just like an F1 or F2, where Riley Rose is a more curly F1B.
The second generation Goldendoodle (F2B) is produced by crossing the F1 Goldendoodle with a F1B Goldendoodle. They also have a higher success rate for non-shedding and are recommended for families with moderate to severe allergies. They also have a variety of coat types, some are straight fleece coats and some are curly coats. Many families desire this breeding because it has more Golden Retriever than the F1B, most are low to non-shedders.
Goldendoodle Generation Equations:
F1 Goldendoodle =
Golden Retriever X Poodle (50% Poodle / 50% Golden Retriever)
F1B Goldendoodle =
F1 Goldendoodle X Poodle (75% Poodle / 25% Golden Retriever)
F2 Goldendoodle =
F1 Goldendoodle X F1 Goldendoodle (50% Golden /50% Poodle)
F2B Goldendoodle =
F1 Goldendoodle X F1B Goldendoodle (62.5% Poodle / 37.5% Golden Retriever)
F3 Goldendoodle =
F1B Goldendoodle X F1B Goldendoodle (75% Poodle / 25% Golden Retriever)
