Labradoodle Generations Explained

 

Occasionally pedigrees are incorrect due to the way the Labradoodle generations have been worked out.

It is incorrect to just add the numbers together for eg: F3 x F4 = F4 not a F7 Labradoodle.

The right way to work out the generations is outlined below..............

 

 

 F1 Labradoodle (F denotes the word Filial) The first filial offspring resulting from a cross mating of distinctly different parental types.

 

Generations are worked out by always adding one number up from the lowest number parent.

 

EG:

 

F1 Labradoodle x F1 = F2

 

or

 

F4 Labradoodle x F3 = F4

 

 or

 

F2 Labradoodle to F4 = F3

 

You may see a b after the generation ie: F1b

That simply means the litter has been backcrossed to one of the parent breeds, usually the Poodle but not exclusively.
