Puppy

[Barb]

Hi,
Hoping someone can tell me what (lf any) 'F...' catagory my double doodle puppy would be. Her mom is a mini golden doodle and her dad is a Labradoodle (both F1). What would she be? Thanks!

From what I've read about filial generations, it seems to involve just two established breeds. But I don't know how reliable that is, because all the info I can find comes from "hybrid dog" centered websites, lol, and I find most of those have their own "rules" about these things.

Thanks for the info! So far she doesn't seem to shed, but she is only 4 months now, and that (the shedding) wasn't a concern for us at all. Just some people have asked me if she is F1b or F2 and I wanted to educate myself. Every search I have done seems geared toward Two F1's of the same, not a mix

I can tell you that she is definitely not an F1B, lol. That much is certain. All F1Bs have one parent who is a purebred. :)

I know we like to put proper labels on things, but it doesn't really matter - when asked just tell people she is a double doodle.    I would think that technically she would be an F1 Double Doodle.

I agree.

Yes, as others have stated, it probably does not matter - all puppies are cute.  But, if you are hoping to have a puppy that is non-shedding, your chances are better with an F1B - which means that the puppy came from back-breeding an F1 back to one of the original breeds like the poodle.  You do have to be careful because some breeders will back-breed to the golden or lab which would not further the possibility of non-shedding puppy..

Thanks!
