Hi,
So excited I found this web site. I have been sitting here reading for about two hours and I should be doing the bills - oh well
Anyway, my husband and I are recently married and want to get a puppy. I have allergies and asthma and my husband loves dogs - he always had Weimaraners growing up. We have been searching and a labradoodle seems to be the best fit for us. My husband works from home so the puppy will not be alone often.
Where my confussion comes in is with the breeding information. I was told and read to get a multigen since the chances are better that I will not have an allergic reaction. Is that correct? Also, what is a multigen - labradoodle to labradoodle - is that a F2? I guess I am looking for definitions of F1, F1b, f2, multigen. I was also told that 2nd generation are not as curly (poodle / labradoodle). Not that this is impornant but I thought I would try to have the dog be less curly for when my husband is out walking it (though he really does not care). Is that true about the hair?
Thank you so much for your help. I think between our books and this wen site our puppy will be all set.
