Hi, I've never heard anyone breeding an F1 back to a Lab, breeders just don't do this as far as I know of. All the breeders I know would take the F1 and breed back to a non related Poodle or F1B. Breeding back to the Lab would make the chance of Shedding and Dander greater. Maybe someone else can add something it's just not anything I've ever heard being done not to say it doesn't happen.

Hi Angelaj, and welcome!
Because F1 and F1b are basic gentic, hybrid terms, your dog is an F1b.
The reason is this: F1 is the FIRST cross of 2 different parents, such as Poodle x Labrador. The "F" just stands for filial, and F1 is the first hybrid generation. F1b stands for an F1 generation bred back to a PARENT breed (either one) so having a Labrador x Labradoodle litter IS an F1b litter, but not typically done, because usually the trait Labrador-people are looking for is the non-shedding trait in the poodle, and the F1b where the parents are F1 x Poodle are most likely to produce almost an entire litter that have that non-shedding coat.
The F1, F1b, etc. terminology is really borrowed from any hybrid science.
I hope this helps!
And yes, post pictures of your doodle!

Well, that is certainly a factor! (As you can see...I am still checking the forum...and I have sooooo much to do! Ah, well, I have my priorities! )

Okay, thanks for all the info! The breeding back to a lab was not exactly intentional. The good news is that the resulting pups have a beautiful variety of coats; some look like the daddy, some like the momma and still others are a beautiful combo. Here's a look.

Okay, here's a few of our girls. Coal's mom will love Frenchie, she looks a lot like Coal AND she has the same name as Coal's sis.

I think you might be right about Frenchie!
The classic rings of white around the eyes, and lightening on the muzzle... our puppies are 7wks old and we're seeing that right now too!
my ad on another website has several older (sold) puppies on it that are silvering....email me if you wanna see it. :wink:
Oh! I almost forgot today is vaccination day!
Happy Monday everyone
