From Teddy to Noodle: Our favourite Goldendoodle name ideas

Whether you're adopting a Goldendoodle from your shelter or sourcing from a reputable breeder, a good name should fit your pup like a good harness.

But it's not always easy to get it right.

While many of us struggle to figure out what to name our new furry family member, other pet parents seem to have no issue whipping up first, middle, and last names. (My personal favourite: Chili No Scrubs Watson.)

Names like "Biscuit" just make sense for Goldendoodles, as they typically also function as secondary vacuum cleaners. Here are some fun food names for Goldendoodles in our ManyPets pack:

• Cannoli

• Noodle

• Mochi
