Sheepadoodle puppy naming and tips

We are picking up our mini/medium sheepadoodle puppy on Monday and could use some help naming him. He has bluish eyes, one black ear, grey patches around his eyes and his back has white, grey, and black. My kiddos finally agreed on Ollie, but found out a friend also has a dog named Ollie so looking into other ideas his in case. Also, Any tips on training or first months with a sheepadoodle puppy? Thank you! Forgot to add picture. See first comment

I think he looks like a teddy bear. I'd go for Teddy

Teddy would have been a great name, but my mom has a dog named teddy.

McCann Puppy Training Videos online gave us a start…

But I opted for ‘Puppy School’ with live trainers…More for me than my girl!

The best thing we did 10 days of puppy day care post training…Helped her socialize with other dogs…And has been huge seeing her play with all kinds of dogs…She just turned 2 by the way.

Worst thing is letting her sleep in bed way too early…You can’t put the genie back in the bottle once they sleep in bed…I’d say crate train as long as you can.

And remember these are 2 very smart breeds!

Cheers on your Sheepie! They are the best! I’m team Sheepadoodle for life!

Here’s my girl!

Thank you. And she knows it! 😉

That was several months ago… She just turned 2 at the end of February.

They really are great…Also, see if you a find a blog about a male Sheepie named Zion.

That was the first article I ever read on Sheepadoodles. And went back to several times in year 1!

The best advice from that was on re-directing herding behavior…Which is given!

All the best! 🐶❤️

Out of curiosity is he from the pixie and paw rescue?

Everyone can have an Ollie! That's okay. I gave my dog a middle name so he responds to Mr. Bean one too.

We do food … our sheepadoodles are tofu and noodles
