F1bb Goldendoodles

As the generation typically closest to a Poodle in DNA, the F1BB Goldendoodle is backcrossed twice with a Poodle. When an F1B Doodle is bred with a Poodle, the term “F1BB” is used to describe resulting offspring.  An F1BB Goldendoodle is 12.5% Golden Retriever and 87.5% Poodle. 
This generation of Goldendoodle is designed with allergy sufferers in mind.  While it’s still not guaranteed to be hypoallergenic or non-shedding, there is a very good chance it will be.  If you have bad allergies, an F1BB or an F2BB Goldendoodle are likely the best generations for you. The coat on F1BB Goldendoodles are normally curlier than  a F1 or F1B Goldendoodle.

Keep in mind that this generation of Goldendoodle is very close to a Poodle in DNA.  This means you’ll have less genetic diversity and you’ll likely have a lot of traits typical of Poodles in terms of both appearance and personality.

With a little work, this intelligent guy will learn to catch a Frisbee or jump through a hoop. Highly trainable, Goldendoodles are great for first-time pet owners. This crossbreed loves everybody, especially kids. He’ll keep the kids busy and active for hours and even try to get guests involved in a game of chase. Goldendoodles will warn their families when someone approaches and then welcome them as if they were long lost friends. They do not make good guard dogs.
After a hard day of play, the Goldendoodle will gladly relax on the sofa and chill with the family. Beware at dinner time; this guy will make every attempt of getting your plate.

It is essential that the Goldendoodle be fed a high-quality diet of dry kibble.

Training

Highly intelligent, the Goldendoodle is easy to train, even for a first time pet owner. Fun-loving and playful, the Goldendoodle is an active and energetic athlete. Positive training techniques work much better than harsh words or physical methods. Training sessions should last for around 20 minutes. Rewarding the dog with delectable treats and excited praise will help make for a successful training session.
Goldendoodles take well to obedience training and because they are so bright and eager to please, they also do well in agility. Agility courses are a great place for the Goldendoodle to burn up his energy as well as reinforce the bond he has with his owner. He’ll also have time to socialize with other athletic dogs running the courses.

Goldendoodles require a fair amount of exercise each day. Time to stretch their legs and run is essential for the Goldendoodle. Living in the city is fine, provided they will have access to a dog park weekly. Those who have a fenced in yard will find that the Goldendoodle will get all the exercise he needs by playing ball with the kids in the backyard. Never let this dog exercise without being in a securely, fenced area or on a leash.

Coat/Height/Weight

Because it is a crossbreed, the Goldendoodle can have a variety of coats. Mixing breeds means that the puppy can have coats that resemble either parent’s breeds. The coats can be wavy or curly and they may or may not be hypoallergenic and non-shedding. Coat colors can be apricot, red, gold, black, silver, blue, chocolate, fawn, white or parti-colored.
Goldendoodles require a fair amount of grooming. They must be brushed everyday or their coats will become matted. This crossbreed must be professionally groomed at least every other month. The groomer will trim and clip his coat as well as give him a good bath.

The Standard Goldendoodle should weigh between 50 and 90 pounds and stand 20 to 29 inches tall at the withers.
