Toy Poodle Dog Names

Poodles have long been a popular breed, even for the stars of Hollywood. From Standard Poodles to Toy Poodles, these dogs have stolen the hearts of men and women alike. One of the most notable Toy Poodles was Oliver. Oliver became the constant companion of Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco. There is a famous photo of Grace Kelly being escorted off a ship by Prince Rainier III, her fiancé, in Monaco for her wedding. In her arms, a little black Toy Poodle was being cradled. Little Oliver was a gift from her friend and co-star Cary Grant. Grant and Kelly co-starred in To Catch A Thief and became fast friends. Knowing of Kelly’s love for animals, Grant and his wife gave her the black Poodle as a wedding gift. They decided on a Poodle after watching the joy that Kelly experienced from playing with their own Toy Poodle while visiting their home.

Another Toy Poodle that had a famous owner was named Tinker Toy. Lucille Ball of I Love Lucy fell in love with a little Poodle and named him Tinker Toy or Tinker for short. Not much is known about Tinker since Ball was mostly out of the spotlight when Tinker came into her life. When Ball was rushed to hospital with severe chest pains and subsequently taken immediately into surgery, her first thoughts were of Tinker. When she was in ICU recovering from heart surgery, the first question she asked was about her dog Tinker. After assuring her that Tinker was fine, she then wanted to know how the surgery went. Ball passed away not long after and Tinker became a source of comfort for her husband, Gary Morton.
