FIRST GENERATION GOLDENDOODLES - F1
A first generation hybrid Goldendoodle is the product of a Golden Retriever and a Poodle.
Coat Maintenance: moderate to high care
Coat Description: Coat grows to a natural body length of 3-5 inches which requires combing and occasional grooming. Many choose to have the fur cut back once every few months to keep the fur shorter and easier to maintain. Coats are usually wavy or curly, with a rare shorter hair coat.
Shedding: mostly very light to nonshed
Allergy Friendliness: usually successful in families with mild allergies. When a family has moderate to severe allergies, a backcross Doodle is recommended.

FIRST GENERATION BACKCROSS GOLDENDOODLES - F1B
A backcross pup is the result of a hybrid bred back to one of its breeds of origin. From a genetic standpoint a backcross pup is a first generation cross. As breeders are breeding towards nonshedding and allergy friendliness, a backcross Goldendoodle is generally the product of a Goldendoodle bred to a Poodle. The resulting dog is, on average, 1/4 Golden Retriever and 3/4 Poodle.
Although there is less vigour in this crossing than in the original hybrid, the first generation backcross still is close enough in the breeding tree to benefit from hybrid vigour. With each successive generation vigour is lost.
Coat Maintenance: moderate to high care
Coat Description: Coat continues to grow in length although similar in appearance to a first generation Goldendoodle. Coats are wavy or curly.
Shedding: very light to nonshed
Allergy Friendliness: recommended for families with moderate to severe allergies.

SECOND GENERATION GOLDENDOODLES - F2
A second generation Goldendoodle (F2) is the result of a Goldendoodle bred to a Goldendoodle - and there are very few of these actually bred as the second generation hybrid is genetically the most varied generation possible. When breeding on, most Goldendoodle breeders breed a backcross instead, as the pups are more predictable, and work well for people with allergies
Coat Maintenance: varies on the coat type
Coat Description: The coat can be a hair coat, wavy coat, or curly coat.
Shedding: varies greatly from shedders to nonshedders
Allergy Friendliness: not recommended for families with allergies, due to the varying coat types

SECOND GENERATION BACKCROSS GOLDENDOODLES - F2B
A second generation backcross pup (F2B) is the result of a Goldendoodle (F1) bred to a Goldendoodle backcross (F1B). Although three generations in the making, F2Bs are technically second generation dogs.

2nd generation pup - Goldendoodle backcross x Goldendoodle - F2B
