F-1b Goldendoodle bred with F-2b Goldendoodle ...

[Joann Valerio]

Is that breeding combo considered F-3?

 Let me rewrite this comment:)I get confused with doodles mixes(that are further than f1) unless I map out the lineage on a piece of paper! lol! I had to do that with Bella too:)

This is from one of the GANA charts here on DK

F3 = F1B Goldendoodle x F2B Goldendoodle

What's an F2B?

[Amy and Annabelle]

This is what the chart says

F2B = F1 Goldendoodle x F1B Goldendoodle

Honestly when there is such a mix of B's and numbers, all that would matter to me would be:

1) Do both parents have appropriate health testing?

2) What is each parent made of? Lots of poodle?  Not much poodle?  Super curly?  Overall size and size in the heritage?

3) Has this breeder bred this combo before and what is the outcome?  If not, that's okay, but it would assuage my curiousity.

The F designation is nearly irrelevant because there is no "set" way an F2b or F3 or F4 "looks" so it's all about what went INTO the puppy (health, size, coat, color, temperament) that matters.

I agree.
