📢 Fun to say and an even more fun time to be around, Labradoodles have become ever so popular because of their family friendly nature and loveable disposition. If you’ve ever found yourself perusing the Labradoodle breeder sites looking for your own furry buddy, however, you may have noticed strange nomenclature like F1 and F1B floating around. This is what denotes the kind of Labradoodle you’re getting, and this could affect a variety of things like coat color, size, and even to an extent disposition, which is why today we’re taking two very popular breeds, the F1 and the F1B, and comparing them so that you as a potential pet owner can make the smartest pick for you. Let’s get right into it, then, shall we?
👉 A Quick Overview
🦴 What is an F1 Labradoodle?
Let’s get all the science stuff out of the way first, so we can get to talking about adorable doodles. The F in F1 stands for filial, and the 1 stands for the generation number, and so in this case, an F1 Labradoodle is the result of the first cross between a Labrador and a standard poodle. This creates a cross between the two, which is what we call the Labradoodle.
🦴 What is an F1B Labradoodle?
A F1B Labradoodle is slightly different from an F1, but the difference isn’t super striking. So while an F1 Labradoodle is split down the middle with 50% lab and 50% poodle, the F1B is about 25% lab to 75% poodle. Now you may be asking yourself why, and you may be asking yourself how, and we will get to that in a second, but essentially the B in F1B stands for back cross.
🦴 Appearances
When comparing the F1 and F1B, one of the first things that becomes apparent is how much the coat can change. The most interesting difference between the two from an appearance perspective is that the F1B looks far more poodle-like when comparing both, which makes sense as it has a lot more poodle in it than the F1, which can have straight or wavy fur and retains a lot of golden retrievers in it. The F1B will require more grooming since poodles don’t shed, but the counter to that is you won’t have to deal with vacuuming or sweeping up hair like you may have to with the F1.
🦴 Grooming
Like we just touched on, the grooming situation is a double-edged sword here with both options, and ultimately comes down to preference if allergies aren’t a factor. The F1 will not require as much grooming, as it will be shedding more, and the F1B doesn’t have to deal with tufts of fur coming loose but will require a lot more brushing as well as more frequent trips to the groomer.
🦴 Energy Levels
While the energy levels of your Labradoodle shouldn’t be massively affected by generation, it is true that labs have more energy than poodles, and some have found that the more poodle their doodle is, the more docile they are and vise versa. Take this one with a grain of salt if you wish, but if none of the previous comparisons swung you and this one does, go for it!
