Understanding The Irish Doodle Variations

What is an Irish Doodle

The Irish Doodle is from crossing a Standard Poodle and Irish Setter.  Sizes can vary of course and include miniature poodles to reduce their overall size.

What does that “F” stand for

We do get this question quite often. The “F” stands for filial hybrid. Geneticists classify a filial hybrid as a descendant from the mating of two distinctly different parental types. 

What does the “b” stand for

What does that “F” stand for

What does that “F” stand for

What does the “b” stand for? This stands for backcrossed or back bred. When the F1 Irish Doodle is backcrossed to a purebred poodle the offspring will then become F1b resulting in 75% poodle 25% Irish Setter therefore resulting in a lower shedding and more desirable trait for many with allergies.
