What is a Goldendoodle?

A Goldendoodle is a hybrid dog breed resulting from breeding a Poodle with a Golden Retriever.

Goldendoodle Generation Number

F1 Goldendoodles

The first generation Goldendoodles are identified with the letter and number F1.  These are the product of a pure Retriever which is bred with a pure Poodle.  The result of this is 50% Poodle and 50% Golden Retriever.  They are known for their intelligence, loving demeanor and are also referred to as being hypoallergenic.  Many still shed a little though so best for a home with only light allergies.  The coats on these Doodles are shaggy and can be curly.

F1B Goldendoodles

F1B  Goldendoodles are a cross-breed of a F1 Goldendoodle with a Poodle.  An F1B Goldendoodle will be 25% Retriever and 75% Poodle.  These generations are popular because they should be minimal to non-shedding.  They are the most hypoallergenic Goldendoodles.  If you have severe allergies one of these would be the best fit for your home.  You still get the same strength, good health, and the favorable personality traits with the F1B.  Their coat types will vary and can be long and wavy or short and curly.  F1B Doodles are generally wavy, slightly curly or a relaxed curl.

TriStar Doodles is currently only producing standard sized F1b Goldendoodles.

**Please note that no dog is 100% hypoallergenic.   Even if a dog is minimal to non-shedding, people with severe allergies may react to the protein in their saliva or dander.  If you have questions, always consult with your allergist before considering purchasing a puppy.
