What is an F1 Groodle?

An F1 Groodle (also known as an F1 Goldendoodle) is a first-generation crossbreed between a purebred Golden Retriever and a pedigree Miniature Poodle. This combination results in a dog that inherits some of the most desirable traits from both parent breeds—making the F1 Groodle a popular choice for families, therapy work, and allergy-conscious households.

These dogs generally grow to around 20 kilograms in weight, placing them in the small-to-medium size range—ideal for both suburban and country homes.

Coat Type and Grooming

F1 Groodles typically have either a curly or fleecy (wavy) coat, depending on the influence of the Poodle genetics. Their coats are low-shedding, which makes them more hypoallergenic than many other breeds, though regular grooming is still essential to keep them healthy and comfortable. The soft fleece coat is especially popular for its teddy bear-like appearance.

Temperament

F1 Groodles are known for their gentle, affectionate nature, intelligence, and trainability. They are eager to please, social, and great with children and other pets. Thanks to the Golden Retriever's friendly disposition and the Mini Poodle's cleverness, they thrive in environments where they receive attention, stimulation, and love.

Perfect Companion Dog

Whether you're looking for a loyal companion, a low-shedding family pet, or a dog with potential for therapy or assistance work, the F1 Groodle offers the perfect balance of temperament, size, and coat quality

What is an F1B Mini Groodle?

An F1B Mini Groodle (also known as an F1B Mini Goldendoodle) is the result of breeding an F1 Groodle (50% Golden Retriever, 50% Miniature Poodle) back to a pedigree Miniature Poodle. This makes the F1B Mini Groodle 75% Poodle and 25% Golden Retriever, further enhancing the traits many families desire—especially low-shedding coats and compact size.

Size and Appearance

F1B Mini Groodles typically weigh between 14 to 18 kilograms, making them smaller than F1 Groodles, and ideal for families living in apartments, townhouses, or rural properties. Their coats range from tight curls to soft waves, with a high likelihood of being hypoallergenic and low to non-shedding, depending on the individual dog.

Their plush, teddy-bear appearance and manageable size make them a popular choice for those seeking a dog that’s both beautiful and easier to handle.

Coat & Grooming

Because they are 75% Miniature Poodle, F1B Mini Groodles often inherit a curlier, more Poodle-like coat. This means they’re even better suited for families with allergies or anyone looking for a low-shedding companion. Regular brushing and grooming (every 6–8 weeks) is recommended to prevent matting and maintain their coat’s texture and cleanliness.

F1B Mini Groodles are known for being highly intelligent, loyal and loving, gentle with children and other pets easy to train and eager to please. (food motivated)

They thrive in a variety of homes—from active families to older couples—and enjoy being part of the daily routine. They love companionship, learn commands quickly, and are particularly suited to therapy and emotional support roles.

They are the ideal family dog thanks to their smart, affectionate nature and allergy-friendly coat, F1B Mini Groodles make excellent family pets. They offer a slightly smaller, curlier alternative to the F1 generation, with even more predictability in coat type and temperament.
