Selection rules

Dog owners can call their pets any name they like. But we must remember that in cynology there are rules for choosing official nicknames for purebred animals.

The name written in the puppy's birth certificate and its home name can be completely different.

If short, sonorous and easy-to-pronounce names are convenient in everyday life, then the official nickname can be complex. It may consist of several names and include a prefix with the name of the nursery where the puppy was purchased. Owners rarely have to come up with their own pedigree for poodles. But it will still be useful to know the basic requirements for official dog names:

All puppies from the same litter receive nicknames starting with the same letter. For example: Harold, Duke, Genoa, Gloria.
The letter by which the puppies will be named is determined by the serial number of this litter in the nursery. Puppies from the first litter will receive nicknames starting with “A”, those from the second – with “B” and so on.
The entire nickname, including the suffix or prefix, as well as spaces between words, must consist of no more than 40 letters.
It is unacceptable to repeat the same name in a kennel earlier than 30 years after it was given to the dog.

A pet nickname, unlike an official name, should not be long or complex. After all, you will have to use it every day when communicating with your pet. For a dog, its name is a signal to attract attention. That's why the pet name should be:

Short and consist of 1-3 syllables.
Easy to pronounce for all family members without exception.
If possible, contain the letter "P".
Do not cause negative associations.
Not being in tune with basic commands.
Everyone in the family likes it, including the dog itself.

The owner can choose a pet name for his pet based on his hobbies and interests. For example, name a poodle after your favorite character from a book, movie, game, or after a musical instrument. Poodles of any size are also suitable for ordinary foreign names, such as Jim, Charlie, Molly, Daisy.

Russian spirit

Poodles are popular everywhere, and Russia is no exception. Gradually, a niche of truly Russian nicknames, popular for representatives of the breed, emerged. The basis can be the appearance of the animal, character, size, names of characters from films, fairy tales, anything in one word. There are many nicknames for boys and girls:

Do you know why poodles have their haircuts the way they do? This is not a fashion statement at all, but a strict necessity. Due to the fact that they are hunters, they often had to run through swamps and other bodies of water. Therefore, haircuts were invented in which the necessary areas were protected by wool, and in others it was removed to make running easier.

According to the character of the dog

The dog's name is a kind of calling card. It will be great if it reflects the most striking features of the poodle’s character. For example, a puppy can be named one of these names:
