📢 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.
