Types and Characteristics of Australian Labradoodles

F1

Definition: In the Labradoodle breed, this is the coding for first-cross - First generation

Breeding Pair: Purebred Poodle to purebred Labrador Retriever

Shedding: Moderate to low shedding

Notes: F1 means "first generation" and is a common scientific term



F1B

Definition: Additional "B" refers to backcross

Breeding Pair: F1 Labradoodle to a Purebred Poodle

Results: Mixed results, as this is not the breeding of two "like" dogs, or dogs that resemble each other
