Goldendoodle Characteristics

The Goldendoodle has proven to be a highly intelligent,
easy to train dog with "gentle" being the most
commonly used single word to describe them.  
Goldendoodles have a beautiful long coat that is soft in
texture and can be straight, wavy, or have a loose curl.  
The shedding factor cannot be determined by this.  
There is no guarantee as to the amount of or lack of
shedding a particular coat type renders.  Through
surveys, it has been determined that even the low
shedding Goldendoodles have proven to be
hypo-allergenic for most allergy sufferers.
Goldendoodle Sizes

The  F1 standard size Goldendoodle was the first to be
bred.  It is the product of a standard Poodle crossed
with a Golden Retriever.  The typical mature weight is
50-75 lbs.

The F1 miniature Goldendoodle is the product of a
miniature Poodle crossed with a Golden Retriever.  
They mature to 25-45 lbs. and have a 50% chance of
being non-shedding.  The other 50% are typically very
minimal shedders.

The F1B miniature Goldendoodle is produced by
crossing an F1 miniature Goldendoodle with a miniature
Poodle.  The mature adult weight is 15-30 lbs.  These
dogs will have a higher success rate for non-shedding
(90%).   We also breed F1B medium Goldendoodles by
crossing an F1 standard Goldendoodle with a mini
Poodle.  These pups will mature to 20-40 lbs.  This is
ideal for those needing an F1B for allergy reasons but
prefer the F1 mini size.

The F2B mini and medium Goldendoodle is the product
of an F1B Goldendoodle and an F1 Goldendoodle.  The
world's first litter arrived on 3/23/06 and the second on
5/28/06.  We have the most variety of coat types in this
generation ranging from curly like an F1B to wavy like
an F1 to flat like a Golden Retriever.  Reports to date on
non-shedding are very promising.  About 90% are
non-shedding.

The F3 mini and medium Goldendoodle is the product
of two F1B Goldendoodles or an F1Goldendoodle and
an F2B or F3 Goldendoodle.  This generation is new and
we hope it will prove to have even more success with
complete non-shedding.

The F3 standard is being produced by crossing an F2B
and an F1B Goldendoodle.  See our photo gallery for
our first F3 standard litter.

A Dog's Tail

"The reason a dog has so many
friends is that he wags his tail
instead of his tongue."

"Don't accept your dog's
admiration as conclusive
evidence that you are
wonderful."  Ann Landers

"If there are no dogs in Heaven,
then when I die I want to go
where they went."  Will Rogers

"There is no psychiatrist in the
world like a puppy licking your
face."  Ben Williams

"A dog is the only thing on earth
that loves you more than he
loves himself."  Josh Billings

"The average dog is a nicer
person than the average
person."  Andrew A. Rooney

"We give dogs time we can
spare, space we can spare, and
love we can spare.  And in return,
dogs give us their all.  It's
the best deal man has ever
made."  M. Acklam

"I wonder what goes through his
mind when he sees us peeing in
his water bowl."  Penny Ward

"Dogs need to sniff the ground;  
it's how they keep abreast of
current events.  The ground is a
giant dog newspaper,
containing all kinds of
late-breaking dog news items,
which, if they are especially
urgent, are often continued in
the next
yard."  Dave Barry

"If your dog is fat, you aren't
getting enough exercise."

GANA (Goldendoodle Association of
North America) Grading Scheme

F1 = Golden Retriever x Poodle

F1B = F1 Goldendoodle x Poodle

F2 = F1 Goldendoodle x F1 Goldendoodle

F2B = F1 Goldendoodle x F1B Goldendoodle

F3 = F1B Goldendoodle x F1B Goldendoodle  OR

F3 = F1B Goldendoodle x F2B Goldendoodle OR

F3 = F2 Goldendoodle x F2 Goldendoodle OR

F3 = F2B Goldendoodle x F2B Goldendoodle

Multigen = any pairing of F3 x F3 or above

A new generation is accomplished by increasing by
one from the lowest generation in a breeding pair.  
An F1 crossed with any generation will only
produce an F2 (ie: F1xF4 still equals an F2).  Any B
generation counts as one up for grading purposes
(ie:  F1B counts as an F2).
