We are in Haltom City, Texas just minutes from downtown Fort Worth. I do not have a kennel, all of our dogs & puppies are raised in our home and are a part of our family.

What does the F mean?
Every Goldendoodle generation begins with the letter “F,” meaning “Filille.” This means that this dog breed came from two purebred dogs – in this case, a purebred Poodle and a purebred Golden Retriever.
The generation of a Goldendoodle correlates with the number associated with it. So, 1 means first generation (parents are a Golden Retriever and Poodle), 2 means second generation, 3 means third generation, and so on.
Some Doodle generations have a “B” at the end, suggesting it is a backcross or bred back to. Backcrossing means that a Goldendoodle is bred with a purebred Poodle. However, backcrossing can also indicate breeding a Goldendoodle back to a purebred Golden Retriever. This cross is fairly uncommon, though, for the following reasons.
Many puppies in the pairing of a Goldendoodle with a Golden Retriever will lack the second furnishing gene necessary to avoid shedding. Offspring that inherit no furnishing genes will likely result in what we call a flat- or improper-coated Goldendoodle. A flat-coated Goldendoodle has a similar coat to a Golden Retriever, which does not continue to grow after a certain length and will not have a fluffy appearance. The flat-coated Goldendoodle will also have a smooth, short-haired muzzle. These improper-coated Goldendoodles are not recommended for families with dog allergies.
If the generation name has two B's, it means that breeders backcrossed the Goldendoodle twice with a Poodle. This typically results in a very curly coat and a build similar to a purebred Poodle, with a more narrow head, longer and pointier snout, and a more delicate bone structure.
One of the most common points of confusion regarding Goldendoodles is the generation number used to describe a new litter of puppies – the most common being F1, F1B, F1BB. Although it might seem trivial, the generation tag of a Goldendoodle can have an impact on several of it’s characteristics, especially shedding. So, if you or your family members have allergies, and want your doodle to be hypoallergenic, it’s important to understand the differences between doodle generations.
First generation Goldendoodles are identified with the letters “F1.” These are the product of a pure Golden Retriever bred with a pure Poodle, making the resulting doodle 50% Poodle and 50% Golden Retriever. F1 doodles possess all of the traits that make Goldendoodles such desirable dogs. This includes marked intelligence, a loving demeanor, and hypoallergenic qualities. However, it is important to note that some F1 Goldendoodles shed lightly to moderately, so are better for homes with only slight allergies. F1 Doodles tend to have a shaggy or wavy coats, but can occasionally have a very curly coat.
When an F1 Goldendoodle is bred back with a Poodle, the term “F1B” is used to describe resulting offspring. An F1B Goldendoodle is 25% Golden Retriever and 75% Poodle. This generation has become the most popular generational breed largely because F1B Goldendoodles are low to non-shedders most of the time. Because of this, F1Bs are great for families with moderate allergies. Even though F1B Doodles are technically 75% Poodle, they still benefit from the phenomenon of hybrid vigor and are known to exhibit the same favorable personality traits and behaviors as F1 Doodles.
As for coat types, F1B doodles tend to showcase more variety and can range from long and wavy to short and curly. F1B doodles also exhibit more color variation than the F1, giving rise to apricots, champagne, red, and parti colors.
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 has become popular largely because F1BB Goldendoodles is the most likely to be totally non-shedding and the most Hypoallergenic. Because of this, F1BBs are great for families with moderate to severe pet allergies. The coat on F1BB Goldendoodles are normally curlier than a F1 or F1B Goldendoodle.

Puppies will generally not overeat if given quality dry food. Your puppy should be allowed to eat as much as it wants at each meal offering for 10-15 minutes. After this time, you should remove the bowl. You will find your puppy’s appetite will increase as he/she goes through a growth spurt. His/her appetite will decrease when less energy is required for growing. Don’t take this as a sign your puppy no longer likes his/her food. Offering a new food will entice your puppy to eat even when it is not hungry. If you choose to switch to a different food, please follow protocols for doing so and only choose a top 10 Veterinary recommended premium puppy food for the first 12 months of age and then premium dog food and continued supplements.

Puppies shouldn’t go outside in public until they are fully vaccinated. The timeline for vaccinating puppies varies from dog to dog, but, generally speaking, the limiting factor is when they are done with their DAPP (Distemper, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus) vaccine series. This vaccine is boostered approximately every three weeks until puppies are 16-20 weeks old.
Two weeks after your puppy receives his last vaccine, he is considered fully vaccinated and can safely go outside. So if your puppy’s last vaccine is given at 16 weeks old, it’s safe for him to go outside at 18 weeks old. If it’s given at 17 weeks, then he’s safe at 19 weeks old.
However, it’s generally safe for a puppy to go outside in your backyard, assuming you haven’t had any sick animals in your backyard within the past year. Although, if you have wildlife that has access to your backyard and it is wet or muddy do not let your puppy play in it. Leptospirosis is spread through urine and standing or runoff water is a threat. While it may not seem like it, your backyard is very different from a public park—because, unlike a park, it’s generally a controlled environment, especially if it’s fenced in. Any dog at a dog park could potentially be sick, or a sick dog could have contaminated the environment.
