An F1b Goldendoodle, also known as a first-generation backcross Goldendoodle, is a Goldendoodle resulting from breeding a first-generation (F1) Goldendoodle with a purebred Poodle. An F1b Goldendoodle is one generation removed from the original cross between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle.
These pups have an increased likelihood of traits such as a hypoallergenic coat or a more predictable size and temperament. Because these dogs have more Poodle genetics, they are more likely to inherit Poodle-like characteristics, including a curly or wavy coat that is often hypoallergenic.
