Beautiful, healthy and affectionate, home-bred hybrid puppies
Here's a quick starter for understanding hybrid breeding
- 50% purebred A and 50% purebred B
For example, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel to Bichon Frise cross is first generation. In this Cavachon cross, hair type can be smooth like a Cavalier, curly like a Bichon or wavy/shaggy, and pups in the same litter can vary. Low moult coat good for allergy sufferers.
- 25% purebred A and 75% purebred B
For example, an F1 Cavachon and Bichon cross; this is a Cavachon bred back to Bichon - the wavy, curly, shaggy-look Bichon is very consistent in coat types. Very low moult coat, good for allergy sufferers.
- F1 hybrid crossed with an F1 hybrid
For example, an F1 Cavachon crossed with an F1 Cavachon. In this combination you get the same percentage of purebred A as purebred B as you would in an F1 hybrid.
- F1 hybrid to a F1b (hybrid backcross)
Multi-generation = F3 or higher-generation hybrid crossed with F3 or higher-generation hybrid
To sum things up:
Purebred A x Purebred B = F1 Hybrid Dog
F1 x Purebred A = F1b Hybrid Dog
F1 x F1 = F2 Hybrid Dog
F1 x F1b = F2b Hybrid Dog
F2 x F2 = F3 Hybrid Dog
