If you've been searching for a doodle you have probably heard the terms F1, F1B, F2 
Maybe you've asked to find out what all of it meant and maybe you haven't.  I'll put that information here:
​
An F1 puppy is the result of a purebred retriever that was bred to a purebred poodle  the 1st Generation

An F1b is taking a dog  50%-50% retriever/poodle cross (the first generation) and breeding it back to a “parent” breed (by “parent” breed, we mean either a retriever or a poodle, not its actual parent).The "b" meaning bred back.   Generally, a puppy that is F1b will be about 75% poodle and 25% retriever.

Now pay attention because here is where it starts to get a little more complicated

An F2 means that 2 first generation Doodles were bred together. F2 could also technically refer to a litter produced from a F1 dog bred to a F1b dog (although many refer to this as F2b to denote a higher percentage of poodle in the mix).

Most Doodle breeders consider an F3 as a breeding between F1b to F1b or F2 to F2 or any combination of higher generation Doodles. To save on too many confusing letters and numbers, anything F3 and above is often referred to as Multi-gen to denote that there are multiple generations of Doodles involved.


Doodle sizes
Petite Range: height below 14 inches and typically 25 pounds or less
Miniature Range: height over 14 inches but less than 17 inches typically 26-35 pounds
Medium Range: Height over 17 but less than 21 inches typically 36-50 pounds
Standard Range: Height over 21 inches typically 51 pounds or more

Final size category of a dog is normally determined at adulthood.  Height is measured at the withers.  Please be aware that the estimated size of a puppy by a breeder is an educated guess; therefore a puppies final size may vary somewhat from a breeders initial calculation.
