The Geneaology

Here, I'll explain the (basic) science of the designer dog. In this example, I'll use the goldendoodle. Purebred A is a golden retriever, and purebred B is a poodle.

GENERATION I- 50% A, 50% B- This cross is healthier, with a curly, wavy, shaggy, smooth, or wirey. Coat type can vary in one litter, and they can shed or not.
BACKCROSS- 25% A, 75% B (G1 + a poodle)- Coat is wavy, shaggy, or curly, and definitely is consistent in type. It is most likely not to shed and has the easiest-care coat.
GENERATION II- G1 + G1- Most likely to shed.
GENERATION II BACKCROSS- G1 + backcross
GENERATION III- G2 + G2
