How to Choose a Good Name For Your Cavapoo 

When you’re choosing a name for your new Cavapoo, you should try to put a lot of thought into it. After all, this dog will be a several-year commitment, and once you teach them to respond to a certain name, it can be hard to change it later on. 

Your Cavapoo’s personality is something to consider when choosing a name. For instance, a dog with an energetic temperament may inspire some fun and lighthearted names. Or, if your dog is on the shy side, that could inspire some soft and tender names. 

Their appearance could lead to some fun name inspiration as well. Because these dogs come in various colors, we’ll cover names that are perfect for Cavapoos of each fur color. 

Also, consider the pros and cons of a unique name vs. a common dog name. On the one hand, unique names are more likely to draw attention, and they’re less likely to lead to confusion at the dog park. On the other hand, common names are popular for a reason–and there’s a good chance they will fit your dog wonderfully. 

No matter what name you choose, make sure it’s one that you and your family love. That’s what matters the most. Once you settle on a name, be sure to practice saying it! This practice will not only help you remember it, but it can help your dog learn to respond to their new name as well. 

Now that we’ve covered the basics let’s move on to the names!
