We are a small home based Goldendoodle breeder located in the suburbs of Atlanta. Our girls live with us and are a part of our family and everyday life. We breed standard size F1-F1b-F2b (multigenerational) Goldendoodles. Colors can vary from cream, apricot, red and sometimes parti. Our girls are X-rayed, DNA and health tested.

F1

These are the product of a first generation cross between a purebred Poodle and a purebred Golden Retriever. Genetically they all inherit 50% of their genes from Golden Retriever and 50% from Poodle. These display the highest level of hybrid vigor

F1b

These are the product of a breeding between an F1 Goldendoodle and an unrelated purebred Poodle. The "b" in this case stands for backcross because the breeder has backcrossed to the Poodle. An F1b Goldendoodle is likely to carry a greater percentage of Poodle DNA than an F1 would be and so is more likely to display a greater percentage of Poodle characteristics, including the Poodle coat qualities.

F2

These are the product of crossing an F1 Goldendoodle with another unrelated F1 Goldendoodle. These dogs are less consistent in looks and size than the F1 or the F1b. Some look like F1s, some look like F1bs (with more Poodle characteristics) and some look exactly like Golden Retrievers. These pups still retain a high level of heterozygosity (genetic variability), and are less likely to suffer from the genetic disorders that are common to Golden Retrievers and Poodles. For those who love the Golden Retriever but don't like the health issues in that breed, the "retriever coated" pups in an F2 litter may be a good option.

Multi-gen or Multi-generational

This is a term used to refer to any dog whose parents are Goldendoodles rather than Poodles or Golden Retrievers. It is also commonly used to refer to F2b Goldendoodles.
