F1B English Goldendoodle:
The backcross (F1B) Goldendoodle is produced by crossing a F1 Goldendoodle with a Poodle which = 75% Poodle & 25% English Golden Retriever
F1B Goldendoodles are 99% non-shedding, and are recommended for families with moderate to severe allergies.
- The F1B Goldendoodle is 75% Poodle which makes this generation the most hypo-allergenic of all the Goldendoodle generations we breed.
- Keep in mind that F1b's will not necessarily look like a poodle or have the temperament of a poodle, the 75% poodle in their generation strictly pertains only to the non-shedding and hypo-allergenic factors.
- In every F1B litter there will be puppies that are loose wavy coated, that look exactly like like F1 Goldendoodles, these puppies are very desirable for families that want a more golden looking goldendoodle that does not shed.
F1B's can have a variety of coat types including, loose wavy, straight & curly.
F1B's can have a variety of coat colors, Ultra Cream, Apricots, Champagne, Red, and many other color variations. Please refer to our color variety page to see examples of these colors.

F2 English Goldendoodle
The Second Generation (F2) Goldendoodle is produced by crossing a F1 Goldendoodle with a F1 Goldendoodle = 50% English Golden Retriever & 50% Poodle.
Originally , Goldendoodle breeders believed that the F2 breeding would produce the most consistent “Teddy Bear Look”, but in my personal experience this has NOT proven to be true. I have found that we DO get very beautiful plush coated Teddy Bear Goldendoodles from a F2 breeding, but also can get very straight coated more sporty Golden Retriever like Goldendoodles with less shedding. They mostly all cream to golden colored.

F2B English Goldendoodle
The Second Generation backcross Goldendoodle (F2B) is produced by crossing the F1 Goldendoodle with a F1B Goldendoodle.
They also have a good success rate for non-shedding than a F1 & F2 breeding and are recommended for families with moderate to severe allergies. Many families desire this breeding because it has a little more Golden Retriever than the F1B, most are low to non-shedders.
Occasionally, a F2B breeding will produce a Goldendoodle with a Golden Retriever look, this look in the F2B generation has proved to be low to moderate shedding.
F2B's can have a variety of coat types including, loose wavy, straight & curly. As an experienced breeder we can identify the shedders from the non-shedders.
F2B's like the F1B's can have a variety of coat colors, Ultra Cream, Apricots, Champagne, Red, and many other color variations. Please refer to our color variety page to see examples of these colors.
