Doodle Generations Explained
We currently breed F1, F1B, and purebreds, with plans to produce F2s in the future. Coat types vary in every generation—though trends can help guide expectations.
F1 (50/50 cross)
Purebred x Purebred
Example: Mini Aussie × Moyen Poodle = F1 Mini Aussiedoodle
→ Usually straight or wavy coats.F1B (75/25 cross)
F1 Doodle × Purebred Poodle
Example: F1 Goldendoodle × Moyen Poodle = F1B Goldendoodle
→ Higher chance of wavy/curly, low-to-non-shedding coats.F2
F1 Doodle × F1 Doodle
Example: F1 Mini Aussiedoodle × F1 Moyen Bernedoodle = F2 Mini Australian Mountain Doodle
→ Mix of traits, percentages depend on parents.Multi-Gen (F3 and beyond)
Later-generation Doodles bred back to other Doodles (F1B, F2, or Multi-Gen).
Example: F1B Goldendoodle × F1B Goldendoodle = F2B (F3) Goldendoodle
→ Parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents are all Doodles.
Coat Genetics in Doodles
Two key genes influence a Doodle’s coat:
Curl Gene (KRT71):
+/+ = Curly
+/– = Wavy
–/– = Straight
Furnishings Gene (RSPO2):
F/F = Fully furnished (beard, eyebrows, fuller coat – like a Poodle)
F/IC = Furnished (still shows furnishings; dominant)
IC/IC = Unfurnished (flat coat – like a Golden Retriever)
➡️ When two F/IC parents are paired, about 25% of puppies may be unfurnished, even though both carry furnishings.
This is why litter outcomes can vary—even within the same generation—and why genetic testing helps us predict coat types more accurately.
