For those of you interested in purchasing a Goldendoodle, you’ve certainly seen some type of weird cryptic letters in front of the word Goldendoodle like F1 Goldendoodle or F2B Goldendoodle. I’m sure you’ve also wondered “so what does F1 Goldendoodle and F2B Goldendoodle mean?” Well, these numbers stand for the specific Goldendoodle generations. Since the Goldendoodle is a cross between the Poodle and Golden Retriever, the percentage of Poodle and Golden Retriever can differ between each generation.

All our Goldendoodles are F2B.

F2B Goldendoodle (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). Alternatively, some breeders will choose to breed an F1B Goldendoodle and another F1B Goldendoodle which would result in the F2B being 75% Poodle and 25% Golden Retriever.

This F2B Goldendoodle generation has significant poodle genes which results in a mostly wavy or curly coat. This means that it’s like the Goldendoodle will have less shedding and be more hypoallergenic. However, like most hybrid dogs there are always exceptions to the genetic rules.

The F2B Goldendoodle generation is often referred to as a Multi-generation Goldendoodle since they are the 3rd generation of offspring.

F2B Goldendoodle Characteristics

  1. Coat Type: Wavy or Curly.
  2. Hypoallergenic: Most likely. But there are definitely exceptions.
  3. Non-shedding: Most likely. But there are definitely exceptions.
  4. Hybrid Vigor: Yes, but less so than the F1 generation.
