Understanding Doodle Generations and Sizes
Choosing the perfect doodle puppy begins with understanding both generation (cross type) and size. Each combination offers a distinct balance of temperament, coat type, and care requirements, allowing you to select a puppy that aligns beautifully with your lifestyle and preferences.

Doodle Generations
F1 Doodles
An F1 doodle is a first-generation cross between a purebred dog (golden retriever, Bernese mountain dog, etc) and a Poodle, resulting in a 50/50 genetic blend.
These puppies are especially valued for their affectionate, loyal, more laid back temperament, paired with the intelligence and refinement of the Poodle. Their coats are typically soft, wavy, or straight and fluffy, offering a natural, relaxed aesthetic.
F1 doodles are often described as low-shedding, though not entirely non-shedding, and generally require moderate grooming maintenance. This generation is ideal for families who prioritize the classic personality of the golden retriever, Bernese mountain dog, etc while still benefiting from a reduced-shedding coat.
Our F1 puppies tend to mature larger is size than an F1b and feature more of a blocky square build.
F1 doodles are available in both standard and miniature sizes

F1B Doodles
F1B doodles are created by breeding an F1 doodle back to a Poodle, resulting in puppies that are approximately two-thirds Poodle and one-third Golden Retriever.
This generation is highly sought after for its luxurious, wavy to curly coat, which is typically considered non-shedding and more suitable for individuals with allergies. The increased Poodle influence enhances coat consistency, with most puppies displaying defined curls and a plush, elegant appearance.
F1B doodles require regular, professional grooming to maintain their coat’s beauty and health. They are an excellent choice for those who prioritize a refined, allergy-conscious companion with a higher intelligence. Our F1b puppies tend to be easier to train and smaller in size with more narrow structures.
F1B doodles are available in miniature sizes.
