F1 -1st generation cross between the Labrador and the Standard Poodle. A 50/50 split. F1 are most likley to shed because half of it's genes come from a Lab.
F1b- is a backcross 1st generation Labradoodle. This cross is 75% Poodle and 25% Labrador. Since the F1 dogs do shed and can have a wiry type coat, the poodle is bred back to the F1 Labradoodle to correct the coat type.
F2- is a 2nd generation Labradoodle. F1 x F1 just bred one more generation. These puppies also shed just like the F1. The F2 generation is the most varied generation and pups will have a variety of looks and coat types.
Multigenerational Labradoodles or Multi-gen - When a Labradoodle is 3 or more generations into the breed they are considered Multigeneration Labradoodles. Almost all are non-shedding and are great for families with allergies.
Multigenerational Australian Labradoodles- these dogs were originally bred by Wally Conron, the breeding manager for GDAV Guide Dog Services in Australia to produce an allergy free service dog. As the breed continued to develop other breeders in Australia such as Tegan Park and Rutland Manor began to infuse breeds into the Australian Labradoodle to improve upon consistency in health, temperament, structure and coat type. These infusions proved successful and also created uniformity to create a breed standard. This distinctive look is unique to the multi-gen Australian Labradoodle.
