The name (which alters "poodle" to "doodle" in reference to the Labradoodle) was coined in 1992.

First generation doodles tend to have added health benefits since they are the first in their line. They shed very lightly. F1b sheepadoodles are first generation backcross sheepadoodles which mean they are bred from a sheepadoodle and poodle. This helps with allergies as this generation sheds even less than F1.
