When people begin researching doodles, they often don’t realize that “generation” matters just as much as breed. Not all doodles are created the same — and the difference comes down to genetics, predictability, and intentional breeding.
At our program, we focus on Multigen Goldendoodles and Multigen Aussiedoodles for one simple reason:
Consistency matters.
Understanding First Generation (F1) Doodles
A first generation (F1) Goldendoodle is a direct cross between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle.
An F1 Aussiedoodle is a direct cross between an Australian Shepherd and a Poodle.
These pairings can absolutely produce wonderful dogs. However, genetically speaking, they are a 50/50 mix of two very different purebred gene pools.
Because of that, traits can vary widely within a single litter, including:
Coat texture (straight, wavy, curly), Shedding levels Allergy friendliness, Energy levels, Drive and temperament
This variability happens because the genetics have not yet been stabilized. Each puppy inherits a random combination of traits from both parents.
For some families, that unpredictability can be a challenge — especially when allergies or temperament expectations are involved.
Why We Raise Multigen Goldendoodles
Golden Retrievers were bred for stamina, retrieving drive, and enthusiasm. Poodles were bred for athleticism and intelligence. In early crosses, those traits can stack in unpredictable ways — sometimes resulting in higher shedding or elevated energy levels.
With Multigen Goldendoodles, we are breeding doodle to poodle or doodle over multiple generations. Through careful selection, we reinforce:
Low to non-shedding coats, furnished, allergy-friendly coat genetics, moderate, family-focused temperaments and structural soundness.
Over generations, these traits become more consistent. Instead of reintroducing a full retriever gene pool each time, we are refining and stabilizing the characteristics that make Goldendoodles wonderful companions.
While no dog is truly 100% hypoallergenic, Multigen lines significantly increase the likelihood of reduced shedding and lower environmental dander.
Why We Raise Multigen Aussiedoodles
Aussiedoodles require even more intentional selection.
Australian Shepherds are brilliant, loyal, and incredibly driven working dogs with strong herding instincts. Poodles are equally intelligent and athletic. When combined in a first generation cross, you can sometimes see very intense working-drive traits emerge — including heightened reactivity, excessive nipping, or nonstop energy.
That doesn’t make F1 Aussiedoodles “bad” dogs. It simply means they can be a lot for the average household.
With Multigen Aussiedoodles, we intentionally select for:
Balanced, trainable temperaments, moderated herding instinct, emotional stability and consistent low-shedding coats
Over generations, this selective breeding creates a dog that retains the intelligence and beauty of the Aussiedoodle while being better suited for companion and family life.
The Science in Simple Terms
First generation = high genetic variability.
Multigen = stabilized traits through intentional selection.
When you breed two very different purebreds together each time, you reset the genetic variability. When you thoughtfully breed similar, selected lines over multiple generations, traits become more predictable.
For families inviting a puppy into their home — especially where allergies, children, or lifestyle expectations are involved — predictability is not a luxury. It’s important.
Our Philosophy
We don’t raise Multigen doodles because it sounds impressive.
We raise them because it allows us to:
Produce consistent, low-shedding coats, offer more allergy-friendly outcomes, provide balanced, intuitive temperaments and create dogs that thrive in family environments
Intentional breeding is about combining heart and science.
And that’s why we choose Multigen — for both our Goldendoodles and our Aussiedoodles.
