Aussiedoodle Generations Explained
F1 Generation
This is a result of the breeding of two purebred dogs. Half of each dog is the mother’s breed, and the other half is the father’s breed. F1’s are low to non-shedding puppies. F1’s are generally healthier than both parent dogs. This generation can be good for those with mild allergies, but we recommend going to an F1b or higher generation for those with allergies.
Example: an Aussiedoodle whose mother is a purebred Australian Shepherd and father a purebred Poodle.
F1b Generation
This is a result from the mating of an F1 parent and a purebred parent. This is used to intensify traits found in the purebred parent’s breed. F1b’s are more non-shedding than the F1 cross. This generation is more suitable for those with more severe allergies.
Example: an Aussiedoodle whose mother is an Aussiedoodle and father a purebred Poodle.
F1bb Generation
This is a result from the mating of an F1b parent and a purebred parent. This is used to intensify traits found in the purebred parent’s breed even more. F1bb’s are non-shedding.
Example: an F1b Aussiedoodle whose mother is an F1 Aussiedoodle and father a purebred Poodle.
F2 Generation
F2 dogs are the offsets resulting from the mating of two F1 hybrids or an F1 parent to and F1b parent. I do not breed two F1 parents together because 25% of the litter will have straight coats on average and 75% of the litter have wavy to curly coats. This type of F2’s can be anywhere from heavy shedding to low-shedding to non-shedding. We will however breed and F1b parent (confirmed by DNA testing) that has the correct curly coat genes to an F1 parent. This type of breeding is very similar to an Flb breeding and will results in some wavy but mostly curly coated pups. Again, a good option for those with allergies.
Example: an Aussiedoodle whose mother is an Aussiedoodle F1 and father an Aussiedoodle F1.
