What do F1, F1b and F1BB mean?
F1 is a first cross, F1b is a backcross, and F1BB commonly means a second backcross, often an F1b doodle bred to a Poodle. These labels do not guarantee coat, health or allergy outcomes.
"F1," "F1b," and "F1BB" are terms used to describe the breeding of designer dog breeds, such as Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, and Bernedoodles. The "F" stands for "filial," which refers to the generation of the hybrid, and the number following the "F" indicates the generation of breeding. Here's what each term means:
F1: An F1 hybrid is the first generation of breeding between two purebred dogs of different breeds. For example, an F1 Goldendoodle is produced by breeding a purebred Golden Retriever with a purebred Poodle.
F1b: An F1b hybrid is produced by breeding an F1 hybrid back to one of its parent breeds. For example, an F1b Goldendoodle can come from an F1 Goldendoodle and a Poodle. The particular pairing affects expected ancestry, but does not guarantee a coat type or allergy outcome.
F1BB: This commonly describes a second backcross, such as an F1b Goldendoodle bred to a Poodle. It does not mean breeding two F1b Goldendoodles together. Ask for the actual pedigree, because generation labels alone do not establish shedding, health or allergy safety.
It's important to note that these terms are used primarily in breeding designer dog breeds and may not apply to other hybrid dog breeds. The specific traits and characteristics of an individual dog will depend on various factors, including the breeds of the parents, the genetic makeup of the individual dog, and the environment in which the dog was raised.
Are these doodles hypoallergenic?
No dog is guaranteed allergy safe. Doodles and Poodles can trigger allergies, regardless of their coat or how much they shed.
Doodles, including Aussiedoodles, Goldendoodles and Cockadoodles, vary in coat and shedding. No dog is guaranteed allergy safe. A lower shedding coat does not establish that a dog produces fewer allergens or will not trigger a reaction.
Poodles also produce allergens. Proteins associated with dander, saliva and urine can trigger symptoms, and neither hair length nor the amount of shedding establishes allergy safety. Crossing a Poodle with another breed does not remove this risk.
Every person’s allergies are different. Speak with an allergist before choosing a dog if you have dog allergies or asthma. Meeting a particular dog may inform the discussion, but a short visit without symptoms cannot guarantee future tolerance.
What type of payment methods do you accept?
We prefer Zelle or cash and also accept Venmo and Cash App. Confirm the applicable payment fees with us before paying.

Can I return my dood?

Yes. Our doods can be returned to us anytime, regardless of age. Timing and reason for returning them are important factors determining any reimbursement for your return. There is a process of psychological decompression and vetting required to incorporate them back into our home. We will never condone or assist you in “re homing” them. They are a lifelong commitment to us.
Is my deposit refundable?
Deposits are not refundable. Applying a deposit to a future litter is considered case by case.
No, the deposit reserves your specific dood. The deposit can be applied to a future litter. This is determined on a case by case basis.
Do you ship?
We can discuss shipping or meeting you at Austin Bergstrom International Airport. Confirm the current arrangements, requirements and costs with us before booking travel.
We can ship via cargo but prefer for you to fly into Austin Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) and we will bring your dood to the airport to fly back with you!
Do you offer grooming?
Emily offers baths and sanitary trims for dogs she has bred, for an additional fee and subject to availability.
I groom all of my own and offer baths/sanitary trims for your doods for an additional cost! Based on availability.
Will my doods color change?
Yes, a puppy’s coat color can change as it grows. The amount of change depends on the individual dog and cannot be guaranteed.
Coat color can change as a puppy grows. Fading and other changes depend on genetics and age, and even black coats can change. A puppy’s current color is not a permanent color guarantee.
Do you provide additional training?
An additional 1-2 weeks of puppy training may be available for an extra fee, with collection at around 9-10 weeks. Ask about the current schedule.
New parents don't always feel comfortable bringing their new dood home at eight weeks old. I provide 1-2 weeks of puppy training if you prefer to take them home at 9-10 weeks for an additional cost. Based on availability.
Are your doods registered?
Our doodles are not registered as AKC recognized purebred breeds. Mixed dogs may be eligible for separate programs such as AKC Canine Partners; confirm the actual puppy’s records with us.
Our doodles are not registered as AKC recognized purebred breeds. The original purebred parents are registered. AKC also offers separate programs such as Canine Partners for eligible mixed dogs, which is different from purebred registration. Ask us about the actual puppy’s records.
Can I leave my doods tail and/or dewclaws intact?
Tell us before a litter is born or immediately at birth if you want the tail and dewclaws left intact. Discuss the individual puppy’s arrangements directly with us.
If you'd like to leave your doods tail and/or dewclaws intact, this can be accommodated when you put a deposit for a future litter or when they are born. This procedure happens at three days old.
Are the parents healthy?
Our adult dogs receive health or genetic testing and veterinary monitoring. Ask for the specific parents’ available reports; screening cannot guarantee lifelong health.
Our adult dogs receive health or genetic testing and veterinary monitoring. Ask which screening and genetic tests were completed for the particular parents and request the available reports. Testing cannot eliminate every health risk or guarantee a puppy’s lifelong health. Our breeding program reflects years of experience, but experience does not replace evidence of individual results. Our genetics program is our intellectual property.
What is the temperament of the parents?
Our parent dogs live with us and participate in family life and training. Ask about the particular parents rather than assuming all puppies will have the same temperament.
All of our dood’s parents have been raised by us, and we try not to leave the house without 1 or 5! They are our hiking companions and entertainment, and they love the car and couch! They eat with us, sleep with us, and attend social events with us! They've completed multiple training courses and love learning new things.
How long will it take for my dood to adjust?
Some puppies start settling in within 2-3 weeks, but adjustment varies and may continue for months. Follow the individual puppy’s pace.
Some puppies start to feel more at home within 2-3 weeks, but adjustment is individual and can continue over months. Provide a predictable routine, patient reward based training and a quiet place to rest. Ask a veterinarian or qualified trainer if behavior or health concerns arise.
Does hypoallergenic mean my dood won’t shed?
No. Low shedding and allergy safety are different things. All dogs produce allergens, and no breed label guarantees that a dog will not trigger a reaction.
No. Low shedding describes loose hair, not allergy safety. All dogs produce allergens associated with dander, saliva and urine. Neither a breed name nor a low shedding coat guarantees that a dog will not cause an allergic reaction.
What is a guardian home?
A guardian family provides a home for a breeding dog under an agreement with the breeder. Confirm ownership, breeding arrangements and financial responsibilities in writing.
A guardian home is where a dog is placed temporarily with a designated family for breeding. The dog remains the breeder's property and is used for breeding purposes, with the guardian home providing a loving and stable environment for the dog.
In a guardian home program, the breeder selects families willing to provide a loving home for one of their breeding dogs. The dog lives with the guardian family, receives proper care and attention, and is used for breeding when needed. The breeder remains responsible for veterinary care and other expenses, but the guardian home provides the dog a loving and stable environment.
The use of guardian homes is every day in breeding high quality dogs, such as purebred dogs and designer dog breeds, as it allows the breeder to control the environment in which their dogs live carefully and ensure that they receive proper care and attention. It also provides a way for families who love dogs to become involved in the breeding process and to provide a loving home for a breeding dog.
It's essential to work with a reputable breeder who has a well established guardian home program and is committed to their breeding dogs' health and well being. The breeder should be transparent about their breeding program, expectations for the guardian home, and responsibilities for the dog's care.
