If Doodles had come along first...

[Richard Crowe]

The Labradoodle name spawned the name Goldendoodle and now we have many "oodle" and "doodle" names for poodle combinations with other breeds...

 

However, if the Labradoodle/Goldendoodle names had come first, many of our rescue dogs would be called a "doodle" or "oodle" of some type...

 

As an example, Riley would not be a "Maltipoo" (Maltese + poodle)

 

 

She would be called a "Maltidoodle"

 

And GiGi would not be a "cockapoo" (cocker spaniel + poodle)

 

 

She could be called a "cockadoodle".  Now, that's a heck of a name, isn't it?
