Best Bernedoodle Generations! F1 🐶 F1B 🐶 F1BB 🐶 F2 🐶 F2B 🐶 F3

📢 If you’ve been looking into getting a Bernedoodle lately, good for you! You probably ran into some strange letter and number combos at some point, like F1 or F2B. It actually refers to their generation, as well as if they are a purebred or a hybrid of some kind. It can be hard to decipher this information, which is why we are going to do it for you and break down how to read these coded messages...
👉 A Quick Overview
● F1B Bernedoodle: The F stands for Filial Hybrid. This implies that a Bernedoodle is a hybrid dog that comes from two different purebreds (Bernese Mountain Dog and Poodle).
● F1B Bernedoodle: The number 1 means the generation of the Bernedoodle. An F1B Bernedoodle is the first generation of offspring.
● F1B Bernedoodle: The B represents the meaning of back cross. To back cross is an elegant term that merely means inbreeding back to a 100% Poodle generation. Breeders will almost always breed back to a 100% Poodle because they are allergy-friendly and don’t shed fur.
🐶 F1
An F1 Bernedoodle would be 50% Poodle and 50% Bernese Mountain Dog, and makes up the initial cross between two 100% pure animals. This is what most people picture when they imagine a Bernedoodle, but let me tell you why this may not be the best choice for some of you guys watching.
🐶 F1B
The F1B Bernedoodle is a cross in between an F1 Bernedoodle and one of the original purebred lines- either a 100% Standard Poodle or 100% Bernese Mountain Dog. Usually, F1B Bernedoodles are a cross between F1 Bernedoodles as well as 100% Poodles, as breeders favor dog coats that don't shed and are hypoallergenic.
🐶 F1BB
The F1BB Bernedoodle is 87.5% Poodle and only 12.5% Bernese Mountain Dog, making it much more poodle than Mountain dog. It is the result of a cross between an F1B Bernedoodle and also an original purebred 100% Poodle or 100% Bernese Mountain Dog, although almost always the breeder will go with the poodle in that case because of the hypoallergenic and non-shedding traits.
🐶 F2
The F2 Bernedoodle is once again split evenly between the Poodle Bernese Mountain Dog, and is our introduction to the second generation of Bernedoodle. This is a cross between an F1 Bernedoodle and an F1 Bernedoodle, and the F2 generations produce specimens that are rather similar to the F1 generation, since they are the same percent of Bernese Mountain Dog as well as Poodle.
🐶 F2B
Next up is the F2B Bernedoodle generation, which is about 62.5% Poodle and close to 37.5% Bernese Mountain Dog. The F2B is a cross between an F1 Bernedoodle, which remember is split 50/50, as well as an F1B Bernedoodle which boasts a 3 to 1 ratio between poodle and Bernese Mountain Dog.
🐶 F2BB
The F2BB Bernedoodle is about 81.25% Poodle and only a small 18.75% for the poor Bernese Mountain Dog. The F2BB Bernedoodle is a cross between an F2B Bernedoodle and a purebred 100% Poodle. This is the 2nd backcross with the Poodle and part of the 2nd generation, so it obtains a second “B” in its name, which is why it is described as an F2BB Bernedoodle.
🐶 F3
Usually, F3 Bernedoodles are bred with an F1B Bernedoodle and an additional F1B Bernedoodle. Additionally, you can breed an F3 Bernedoodle with an F2 Bernedoodle as well as another F2 Bernedoodle. F3 Bernedoodles have substantial Poodle genes, so it is fantastic for individuals with pet allergies.
🦴 F1B Bernedoodle (75% Poodle & 25% Bernese Mountain Dog)
🦴 F2B Bernedoodle (62.5% Poodle & 37.5% Bernese Mountain Dog)
🦴 F1BB Bernedoodle (87.5% Poodle & 12.5% Bernese Mountain Dog)

Man, the lack of love given to the F2 in this video is sad. It makes it sound like the F2's are accidents and undesirable. We have an F2 and he's incredible in every sense of the word.

My son asked if he could bring home a poodle. I said yes because we own a home. 108 pound's now and my families' best friend ever. St. Bern doodle is a truly kind and beautiful breed. He is just too big for small children. Nothing mean ever just clumsy.

[@Romeoofbrasil]

love your channel! I was very interested in understanding how are the doodles being built... Also I wonder if they intend to establish those breeds or the idea is to keep backcrossing? I really liked how you explain the generation and loved to learn that the F2 is kinda cheated hehehehe. I have bred bengal cats for some time and it was very exciting the whole genetic part of a new breed. Now I just got a beautiful Wooly husky girl and started thinking about either try something to establish the variety or take part in some doodle breeding program that might be going on...Hope you make a video about Huskpoo (or whatever they call it) someday. Cheers from Brazil

[@WeLoveDoodles]

Thank you so much for your support! Breeders typically like to backcross to a Poodle because they are more nonshedding and hypoallergenic. Huskypoos are pretty rare. Cheers from the USA.

[@franciegoins5632]

I have an f1b bernadoodle. LOVE her!

[@WeLoveDoodles]

Yes, definitely one of the best generations. Bernedoodles are so gentle too, we love them.

[@deliciastephens7644]

My Bernedoodle is a F!BB and looks just like a poodle with a long tail that she carries like a big C over her back. Her coat is totally poodle in nature and does not shed. She is smart highly energetic. She acts like a poodle but her eyes look like a bernese...I love mine. She is 7 months old now and is a handful....but I don't regret getting her one bit....wonderful dogs....

[@carolinaochoa3309]

We got a couple of F1 puppies (sis and bro) a week ago, and we are very happy with them. They are 2.5 months old. It's interesting how different their personalities are. In one week we have noticed that the female puppy is more quiet and calmed, like a Saint Bernese Mountain Dog, while the male puppy is more energetic and willing to play, like a poodle.

[@WeLoveDoodles]

Yes! Each dog will always have their own personality! Our dog is very timid while his brothers are more energetic.

@@NiniEJ I would love to see some pictures of your baby. How big do you expect him to be?

[@NiniEJ]

@@daniellekroll820 Hi! I would drop his social media handles but I don’t think that’s allowed. He’s white with black spots, black ears and two black eyes. He had wavy hair before I started having him groomed, now it’s much more curlier. I don’t expect him to be over 20 lbs. He’s 10 months old now and 16 lbs…his dad was a Toy Poodle and his mom was a F1 Mini Bernedoodle, so he’s going to be a little guy. He gets mistaken for a Havanese a lot. I hope that helps!

We have 7 males Bernedoodles Standard F1, very intelligent dogs, they range in weight from 75 to 106 lbs, all of them have the same Father (standard Poodle 65 lbs). 7 different personalities. Different look, from one looking like a Mt Bernese with waive hair, another complete Jet Black wavy hair. A Phantom (Brown & Black) Curly hair, one Bi-Color (white & Black) curly hair, and 3 Tri-Colors (White,Black,Copper). Some of them are great hunters.l, others just like to relax. They enjoy being around us all the time. We take long hikes in one of the National Forest, which is located in the back if our ranch, where they run, explore, hunt, swim and protect their home from Other animals and big game. The pack is extremely active, making their bodies very muscular and strong. PS they are NOT neutered

Both of ours are crazy(6 and 7 month females) If I let them out like that I'd never get them back. They have brought so much happiness into our lives, we lost 2 old girls(A westie and Jack Russell beagle mix) within 2 months of each other last year, so our Bernedoodles were a God send. They love each other and love everything and everyone.

[@WeLoveDoodles]

Ah! They are perfect capable of being trained since they are one of the smartest dog breeds. I agree with the loving everyone statement. Sorry for your loss of your other dogs.

I’m curious, why do you have to wait so long? That’s a really really long time!

[@kayladickerson5229]

@@sophwaring5160 we are two of the same. I am as curious as they come. :) I want the larger breed of a Bernedoodle. I love my home but it’s a shotgun home and not enough room for a big dog, also I have a decent yard but also not equipped for a large pup. And one more thing, as soon as I get a dog, I want to take it straight to obedience school. Which I know is going to cost me another 1,000 and some dollars. To me, the extra expense on top of having my dream furry-companion is worth it…but, In all, it’s a hefty expense that I’ll need to prepare and save for. :) I’ll get there! I want it too badly not to. 🌻✌️♥️

Very informative! Can you tell me what the puppies would be considered if you bred an F2BB with an F1 bernedoodle.

[@WeLoveDoodles]

This would just be called a multigenerational.

[@jerrychiasson9857]

Just got a F1B known as a Australian Burna doodle mom was full Bernese mountain dog dad was a Burna doodle so 75 /25 I guess he’s going to have more of the Bernese mountain dog characteristics…..lol

[@WeLoveDoodles]

Yes! It will definitely have more BMD characteristics! I’m sure they are adorable though!

[@davidgoodthunder5016]

We have a female 4 month old puppy that is our pride and joy. Her Parents, The male is a F1 Bernedoodle, her mother is a F1 Irish Setterdoodle. They were not meant to hook up, but well you know. 🙂 Our Doodle is a try color with wavy coat and the sweetest dog we've ever had. But how does she fit in? F1BB, F2 or not at all? We wouldn't trade her for ANYTHING, but when people ask we really don't know what to tell them. She is very Bernes Mountain Dog in appearance and goofy like a Poodle, also quite shy. It would be great if you have an answer for us. Wonderful Video Thank you so much!!

[@WeLoveDoodles]

This is called a double doodle since it’s a mix between two different doodle breeds. It’s not common to breed theses two, but I’m sure it’s an awesome puppy! Enjoy the puppy phase since it doesn’t last long. Doodles are the best puppies though.

[@grahamkuehner6697]

Nice video. What is a F1b reverse mini bernedoodle?

[@WeLoveDoodles]

F1 Bernedoodle mixed with a 100% BMD. It’s a rare mix since more breeders won’t breed back to a BMD

[@eaglet2000]

My pick would be an F2B Bernedoodle. This is the only generation that retains the most Bernese Mountain Dog percentage and yet is still non-shedding and hypoallergenic. Let me know if I got this right. Also, what is the best size for an F2B excluding the largest size?

[@WeLoveDoodles]

We also like the F2B Bernedoodle. The more generations that passes, the better breeders can predict coat and hypoallergenic factors better. We like mini Bernedoodles for those who like smaller breed dogs.

[@enricopgamboa4821]

They shed like crazy and mine is already 75% Poodle F1B

[@blantant]

Bad luck or inexperienced breeder. F1b typically has a classic curly coat.

[@chrisbell0]

Do you have any picture/video of a F1BB 62% Bernese 38% Poodle

[@southparklion]

In determining generation, how does the cream color impact classification?

[@WeLoveDoodles]

Color, I.e. doesn’t have much to do with generation. Cream is a dominant genetic trait though so it should show up in the first generation of both offspring have it.

[@timelordthefirst4835]

I have asthma, so would an f1bb or f3 be the better choice for allergies?

[@WeLoveDoodles]

F3 are usually classified as multi-gen. It would be best for you to get a any type of BB and verify that the backcross is actually a Poodle and not backcrossed to a Bernese Mountain Dog. Hope that helps!

[@timelordthefirst4835]

What if I have a bernedoodle who’s dad is a Bernese mountain dog and mom is bernedoodle

[@WeLoveDoodles]

What generation Bernedoodle? If it’s an f1 Bernedoodle crossed with a BMD, then it would be a reverse F1B Bernedoodle. Some breeders will just say F1B Bernedoodle though.

[@user-pc2yj6zt3i]

Our puppy is a pyrendoodle (75%poodle 25%pyreneese and 100% Bernese Mountain Dog. Would she have a letter/number combo?

[@WeLoveDoodles]

Parents are likely F1B. So it would be a F1BB. It's quite rare thought to breed back to a 100% BMD.

[@mjtreviews6009]

We are talking to a breeder now pups will be a F3 so would they shed

[@WeLoveDoodles]

It depends on the genetics of the parents. Some F3s will definitely shed though since they tend to only be 50% poodle
