What describes the genetic composition of an F1 Labradoodle generation?
Answer
Direct result of crossing a purebred Labrador Retriever with a purebred Poodle
The designation F1 refers specifically to the first generation resulting directly from the initial cross between two recognized purebred parents. In the case of the Labradoodle, this means pairing one purebred Labrador Retriever with one purebred Poodle. This results in an offspring with approximately a 50/50 split of genetics inherited from each parent line. This generation is frequently cited as being the most unpredictable, especially concerning coat type, because the shedding characteristic originating from the Labrador parent has a significant chance of being expressed.
