F1B 75% English Retriever and 25% Poodle?
I am picking up my beautiful girl this weekend. I was wondering if anyone has the same kind of back cross? The picture of her is my profile picture. Any others have doodles that looked like that as a puppy? (she is 5 weeks in the picture) Thanks!

Cute pup! I have a friend who has a dog whose mom was a labradoodle and dad was a lab--it was basically an "oops" that she adopted. He has a pretty straight coat, a great personality and sheds like crazy--he weighs about 75 pounds--not sure if your cute little guy will bear any resemblance but the parentage is a bit similar.

I am not overly concerned about the shedding since I already have two shedding animals already. Why not just add to the hair, eh? But no, I am hoping that mixing with the poodle at least decreases the shedding a little bit, but if not, I'll survive! As for her size, her mom is only 40 pounds and her dad is 55. So I am hoping my puppy won't turn out to be a 75 lb dog!

F1B is usually a F1 backcrossed to a poodle. This is done for a less shedding coat.

Denice in Las Vegas has two doodles one was backcrossed to a lab. Here is a link to her page where you can see many pictures: http://www.doodlekisses.com/profile/DeniceReCaouette?xg_source=prof...

I'm hoping that the poodle brings something to the table other than a non shedding coat.
I mean, it seems like others think its silly to get a back cross to the Retriever. Why isn't it equally as silly as getting a back cross to a poodle? Why not just get a full bred poodle if shedding is the only concern? ( saying that I won't receive any traits from the poodle seems inaccurate, since many of you see traits of a retriever in your F1B. )
Surely there are many great qualities about a poodle that people would want, otherwise they wouldn't choose a dog that is 75% poodle. Maybe I won't get some benefits that others look for when choosing a doodle. That's okay since there are many doodles that still shed, regardless if they are an F1 or even a traditional F1B.
