Springbrook Doodles

Breed Information:

Golden doodles are very intelligent and an obedient family companion. They are friendly towards children, other dogs and pets, and easy with strangers. They are social dogs, happiest when with people. Golden doodles are likely to get into mischief and develop behavior problems if they spend most of their lives alone. Their intelligence, eagerness to please, and love of learning make them very easy to train.

Our Mom and Dad are both F1B generation golden doodles. Mom is 42 lbs and Dad is 65 lbs both cream color Golden doodles.

Generations of Golden Doodles.

The first generation (F1) standard size Goldendoodle was the first to be bred. It is the product of a Standard Poodle crossed with a Golden Retriever. Most first generation vary with shedding (some more than others).

The backcross (F1B) Goldendoodle is produced by crossing a F1 Goldendoodle with a Poodle. F1B Goldendoodles will have a higher success rate for non-shedding, and are recommended for families with moderate to severe allergies.

The second generation Goldendoodle (F2 or F2B) is produced by crossing the F1 Goldendoodle with a F1B Goldendoodle. They also have a higher success rate for non-shedding and are recommended for families with moderate to severe allergies.

The third generation Goldendoodle (F3) or often times referred to as Multigen or 'Teddy Bear Doodles' is produced by crossing the F1B or F2 with another F1B or F2 Goldendoodle. They're like the F1B's and will have a higher success rate for non-shedding, and are recommended for families with moderate to severe allergies.

F1 = Golden Retriever x Poodle
F1B = F1 Goldendoodle x Poodle
