Since the development of the Goldendoodle is not an exact science, GANA does not wish to limit the creativity of experimental breedings.  Therefore, as long as the breeding pair consists of the following breeds, the offspring will be accepted as Goldendoodles registerable by GANA:
 
Poodle
Golden Retriever
Goldendoodle


Grading Scheme - Subject to change upon a vote by the membership

 

    
F1 = Golden Retriever x Poodle
F1B = F1 Goldendoodle x Poodle
F2 = F1 Goldendoodle x F1 Goldendoodle
F2B = F1 Goldendoodle x F1B Goldendoodle
F3 = F1B Goldendoodle x F1B Goldendoodle  OR
F3 = F1B Goldendoodle x F2B Goldendoodle OR
F3 = F2 Goldendoodle x F2 Goldendoodle OR
F3 = F2B Goldendoodle x F2B Goldendoodle
Multigen = any pairing of F3 x F3 or above



A new generation is accomplished by increasing by one from the lowest generation in a breeding pair.  An F1 crossed with any generation will only produce an F2 (ie: F1xF4 still equals an F2).  Any B generation counts as one up for grading purposes (ie:  F1B counts as an F2).
