Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most from people considering a Doodle.
Are doodles hypoallergenic?
Not really, no — and honestly, no dog is completely hypoallergenic. That said, doodles with tighter, curlier Poodle-type coats shed a lot less than most breeds, which cuts down on the loose dander that triggers a lot of allergies. If you’re allergy-prone, it’s still worth spending time around the actual puppy before you bring one home.
How big do doodles get?
That really comes down to the parent breeds and the generation. A toy or mini doodle can stay under 25 lbs, while a standard Goldendoodle or Bernedoodle often grows into a 50–90 lb dog. Check the specific breed guide for the size range before you commit to a puppy.
What’s the difference between an F1 and F1B doodle?
An F1 is the first-generation cross — a purebred parent, like a Golden Retriever, bred with a Poodle. Breed that F1 puppy back to a Poodle and you get an F1B, which usually comes out curlier and sheds less. See the full generation breakdown →
How much grooming do doodles need?
More than most people expect. Plan on brushing a few times a week at home, plus a trip to the groomer roughly every 6–8 weeks. Skip it for too long, especially with a curlier coat, and mats build up fast.
Are doodles good with kids and other pets?
Generally, yes. Most doodle breeds were bred to be friendly and people-focused, so they tend to do well around kids and other animals, as long as they get socialized early instead of left to figure things out on their own.
How do I find a reputable Doodle breeder?
Start by asking whether they health-test their parent dogs, that part isn’t optional. A good breeder is also upfront about generation and lineage, will let you meet the puppy’s parents, and won’t rush you into a deposit before you’re ready. Read our full breeder vetting checklist →
