Breed Standards
Labradoodles and Goldendoodles come in three (approximate) sizes:
- Standard: 24-26 inches tall and 60-85 pounds WOW!
- Medium: 22-24 inches tall and 45-55 pounds
- Small: 20-22 inches tall and 30-40 pounds
Coat types:
- Fleece: wavy to loose spirals with soft silky texture and those with loose curl Should be little to non-shedding
- Fleece/Wool: thicker textured coat. Tighter Curl rather than wavy. Should be totally non-shedding
- Hair: Similar to a Lab -- Shed a little to a lot!
Generation Scale:
- (F1) First Generation: A Labrador/Golden Retriever to a Poodle
- (F1b) This is called a (Backcross) A First Generation Labradoodle/Goldendoodle bred back to a Poodle (this is a double Poodle mix giving you approx 66% Poodle and 33% Retriever
- (F2) A First Generation bred to Another First Generation still maintaing the 50/50 mix intended with the Hybrid Vigor
- (F2b) This again is a Backcross of A F1b 66% Poodle (Bred back to a Poodle) there is very little if any Lab or Golden remaining in this mix.
True Multi-Generation: Many generations of Labradoodles/Goldendoodles bred to Labradoodles/Goldendoodles, the last thing we want is to pure breed this wonderful mixture of the F1 and True F2, so my breeding program stops at the F2 level.
