Multi-generational Goldendoodles
Once a Goldendoodle with parents from a Golden Retriever and a Poodle is bred, the litter that is born is referred to as, F1 Goldendoodles.
F1 Goldendoodles that breed and produce litters are producing F2 Goldendoodle puppies. The generation continues and any generation beyond an F2B Goldendoodle is referred to as an, F3 Goldendoodle or multigenerational.
This process is practiced amongst breeders and is conducted humanely with leading-medical veterinarians
When an F1 Goldendoodle is bred back to a poodle, this is called a back-cross, and the puppies are then considered an F1B. The “B” signifies the back-cross, adding more poodle genes to the mix resulting in puppies with 25 percent Golden Retriever and 75 percent Poodle.
