Why do Multi-Generational Labradoodle Puppies cost more than F1s and F1Bs?
The F1 is a delightful companion. It is however questionable in its non-shedding quality. The F1 may have a wispy-hair coat, which can be coarse to the touch. The Multi-Gen and F1B have shown higher reliability with the desired low- or non-shedding coat. They are also known to have a more desirable feel, particularly the soft fleece coat. The Multi-Gen Labradoodle is the coat which breeders purposefully breed toward for a pure Labradoodle. This is the dog which will be recognized by the AKC if that event should come to pass. The public has placed a great value and a high price tag on this quality. The Multi-Gen breeder has invested significantly more money and generations (time) in breeding stock than the breeder of an F1. Time being money, the investment is passed to the purchaser.
