What should we get? ****UPDATE Pics added of the puppy we are getting*******

[Discussing Labradoodles & Goldendoodles]

Our mini goldendoodle Ava has two goldendoodle parents. We adore her! We now want to get her a buddy! We can choose from an F1 or we can choose from a goldendoodle mom and a poodle dad I think that is an F2 but I'm not sure. What would you suggest? Thank you for all the help :)



Update: Its final! We put our deposit on a sweet mini Goldendoodle today. She will be ready November 4th. She is adorable.

**** The one we are getting is the white collar she is the cream one. ****

If you get a goldendoodle mixed with a poodle, the puppy will potentially have 3/4 poodle traits. Two goldendoodles create an F2 goldendoodle.

I am pupsitting a mini right now that is a cross of a Labradoodle and a mini-poodle--that is called an F1b, I believe--she is adorable, sweet, smart and did I say adorable? She isn't very curly, so she doesn't show the 3/4 poodle traits in her coat at least.

No guarantees though--you just have to take a good hard look at the parents and their histories (temperament and health) and they go with your gut.

This is the pup I am watching--Tango Wool's "Madrigal Moment"--she is three months old and will weigh about 20 pounds.

What characteristics are you looking for and which parent combo matches what you want?

[Ginny Nightingale]

There is a section on this site entitled what to look for in a breeder--study it!! There is also a place where breeders are recommended....look under the heading of HELP at the top of the page....

A goldendoodle Mom and Poodle Dad would get you a F-1B like our Gus. He is a lot more poodle looking than our F-1 female Lilly.

Hi Joe.  I just sent you a personal message, but ran out of room before I could continue.  If you accept my friend request, I'll finish.  Laurie

[Rachel and Ollie]

Ollie is an F1B like Gus.  Mom is a white goldendoodle, dad is a reddish poodle. 

[Rachel and Ollie]

:) Yay! F1B's how exciting! 

[Barbara B., Sasha & Oliver]

It is so difficult to deceide even before you see a puppy.  Both my doodles are FB2 (i think), fathers were standard poodles and mothers were doodles.  My Sasha is a golden doodle and she is very poodley, Oliver is my Labradoodle and he is curly but not as poodley as Sasha.

[Jennifer and "Cooper"]

Cooper is also an F1B.  He had the straightest coat of the puppies in the litter so he doesn't have as much poodle curl.
