If you’ve been exploring the world of Goldendoodles, chances are you’ve come across terms like F1, F1B, and Multigen. But what exactly is a Multigenerational Goldendoodle, and why is it often considered the best of the best?
Let’s break it down.
🧬 What Is a Multigen Goldendoodle?
A Multigen (short for multigenerational) Goldendoodle is the result of breeding two Goldendoodles together, typically after several generations of intentional pairing. Unlike first-generation (F1) Goldendoodles, which are 50% Poodle and 50% Golden Retriever, Multigens are often carefully bred for consistency, both in appearance and temperament.
Many Multigen Goldendoodles are the result of several generations of doodles being bred together (like F1B x F1B or F2 x F1B), which gives breeders the ability to better control traits such as:
Coat type and texture
Shedding level
Allergy friendliness
Temperament and trainability
Size predictability
✨ Why Multigen Goldendoodles Are So Popular
Multigen Goldendoodles are beloved not only by families but also by experienced breeders—here’s why:
✅ 1. Refined Coat Quality
Thanks to multiple generations of selective breeding, Multigens typically have softer, curlier, and more allergy-friendly coats. Whether you're looking for a wavy, fleece-like coat or a tighter curl, breeders can match puppies to preferred coat types with greater accuracy.
✅ 2. Low to Non-Shedding
Unlike some first-generation doodles that may still shed, most Multigens are bred specifically to be low or non-shedding, making them an excellent choice for allergy-sensitive households.
✅ 3. Even Temperament
With careful pairing, breeders can emphasize the Goldendoodle’s most desirable personality traits—gentleness, intelligence, affection, and playfulness. The result? A dog that is both family-friendly and easy to train.
✅ 4. Consistency in Appearance & Size
One of the best parts of a Multigen Goldendoodle is predictability. You’re more likely to get the size, coat, and look you expect compared to earlier generations.
✅ 5. Intentional Pairing for the “Best of Both Worlds”
Multigen breeding allows ethical breeders to intentionally pair Goldendoodles that exhibit the best characteristics from both the Poodle and Golden Retriever lines. It’s like creating the ideal companion by drawing from a well-established gene pool.
🐾 The Bottom Line
Multigen Goldendoodles aren’t just another type of doodle—they represent the evolution of careful, responsible breeding. When done ethically, Multigen litters allow breeders to craft puppies with the most desirable traits in terms of health, temperament, and appearance.
If you’re looking for a Goldendoodle that’s more predictable, allergy-friendly, and family-ready, a Multigen Goldendoodle might be your perfect match.
