What is an F1 Goldendoodle?

 

An F1 Goldendoodle is the first generation of the Goldendoodle breed, created by crossing a purebred Golden Retriever with a purebred Poodle. In this mix:

• F1 refers to the "first generation" of breeding between two purebred dogs.

• They typically inherit a mix of traits from both parents, with a coat that is often wavy or slightly curly and has a low to moderate shedding level.

• F1 Goldendoodles are popular because they tend to have a balanced combination of the Golden Retriever's friendly, loyal personality and the Poodle's intelligence and hypoallergenic coat.

F1 Goldendoodles can come in various colors, including cream, apricot, red, black, chocolate, and even parti (a mix of two colors). They can also vary in size, depending on whether the Poodle parent is a standard, miniature, or toy.
