Our F1b-Goldendoodle at Cumberland Kennels

Genetically, an F1b-Goldendoodle is crossbred of 75% Poodle and 25% Golden Retriever. To get an F1b-Goldendoodle, you must first breed an F1 Goldendoodle and then backcross it with either a 100% Poodle or a 100% Golden Retriever. With the nonshedding and hypoallergenic characteristics, a Goldendoodle breeder will almost always choose to breed an F1 Goldendoodle with a 100% Poodle.

Because it is more nonshedding and hypoallergenic than an F1 Goldendoodle, the F1b-Goldendoodle is the most favored Goldendoodle generation among breeders and customers alike. Because the F1B-Goldendoodle is 75% Poodle, it has a far better possibility of having a wavy or curly coat that doesn't shed and is very hypoallergenic. These are more desirable characteristics in a Goldendoodle, so F1b-Goldendoodles are preferred over F1-Goldendoodles.

Because an F1b is a "second" generation crossbred, they will inherit a lower level of the Hybrid Vigor trait. The Hybrid Vigor characteristic is passed down through the generations of Goldendoodles.

You can find a curly, wavy, or straight coat on an F1B-Goldendoodle. Brushing and grooming are required regularly, regardless of the coat type. Straight hair coats require more maintenance than curly and wavy hair coats. Around six to twelve months, most F1B-Goldendoodles will have developed their adult coat. You'll know whether the dog's coat will be curly, wavy, or straight once the adult coat grows in. If you're looking for a hypoallergenic dog, wavy and curly coats frequently shed very little.
