Doodle coats
Improper coats-
At Dela Doodles not only do we test our breeding dogs for their genetic health, but also coat/trait testing. This is how we are able to produce the "teddy bear" look for our puppies. Some breeders will breed a poodle with a golden retriever also considered as an F1 goldendoodle and produce "improper coated doodles" They tend to look more golden retriever than doodles. **Dela Doodles does not produce improper coated doodles.**
Doodle generations
Do all the doodle generations — F1, F1b, F2b, F3 — ever make your head spin? You’re not alone! Let’s break it down simply. (See the chart on the left for a visual.)
At Dela Doodles, we intentionally and exclusively produce:
✨ Multigenerational or F1b
✨ and F3
Because doodles are a mixed breed, the “generation label” becomes less reliable the further back you go. What actually matters is the genetic makeup of each parent not just the F-number.
We carefully pair our dogs to maintain the signature Dela Doodles teddy bear look, coat quality, temperament, and allergy-friendly traits. Every female and male in our program is hand-selected through extensive health testing, coat genetics, structure, and temperament to consistently produce the beautiful, therapy-minded, allergy-friendly puppies our families love.
