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
- In Hybrid breeds there is But never should be a guarantee given from a breeder on size no matter what size the parent pair is, this is a part of the genetics and just like you and I our gene pool plays a big role. Good estimates can be made from a pups growth pattern and from previous litters this pair have produced.
Coat types:
- Fleece: wavy to loose spirals with soft silky texture and those with loose curl, reliable to be low to non-shedding
- Wool: thicker textured coat. Loose to semi tight Curl rather than wavy. Strongly reliable to be non-shedding.
- Combo Fleece/Wool: thicker texture with a combination of soft silky fleece, reliable to be non shedding and easy to manage.
- Hair: Similar to a Lab longer in length – Has the wisp, whiskers and wave. Shed a low to a lot!
- On the avail pup page there is a section that will show you the mature coat of each type, so that you will have a better understanding and the mature appearance.
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 maintaining 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.
Multi-Generation:
- Many generations of Labradoodles/Goldendoodles bred to Poodles, 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. I have considered F2 to F2 for F3.
