Poodle puppy wants to keep you company

Regardless of it’s country of origin, some of the things we admired most about Poodles are…

-They’re beautiful…With their curly hair, and statuesque good looks, it’s like they know darn well they’re better looking than most pups on the block.

-They’re not sissy’s…Having been bred as water-retrieving pups, they can be trained to be a sporting dog. Good looking once groomed, but not afraid to get a little dirty.

-They’re smart…It’s like they’re Einstein’s on four legs! Making Poodles obedient and easily trainable.

So what’s there not to like about them? Nothing really.

That’s why we offer below unique Poodle dog name suggestions and lists that are gender specific as well as additional creative ideas that are perfect as names for Standard Poodles, Toy Poodle names and even some ideas from France if looking for French Poodle names. Oui Oui!
