There's no single "healthiest" doodle, as hybrid vigor helps but doesn't eliminate issues; however, mixes with healthier parent breeds, like Maltipoos, Cavapoos, or well-bred Bernedoodles, often show improved health, with Maltipoos potentially having lower risks of serious issues and Bernedoodles extending the lifespan of the Bernese Mountain Dog lineage. The key is responsible breeding with health-tested parents, regardless of the specific doodle.

F1s are 50/50 crosses, while F1Bs are backcrossed to a Poodle (around 75% Poodle, 25% Golden Retriever/other), resulting in curlier, more hypoallergenic coats for F1Bs, but F1s have more "hybrid vigor".
