But is it as cutesy as it can be? Based on this naming convention, it&#8217;s obvious that a purebred poodle is actually half poodle and half poodle. Yes, that&#8217;s right. The horrible truth:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>A poodle is just a <em>crossbreed<\/em> offspring of a poodle and another poodle.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Therefore, the proper name for a poodle is &#8220;PoodleDoodle&#8221;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>But there&#8217;s more to the naming convention. Some breeds sound silly with &#8220;doodle&#8221; added to their names, so they get a &#8220;-poo&#8221; suffix instead. Yes really. Examples:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Maltipoo<\/li>\r\n<li>Yorkipoo<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>I guess &#8220;Maltidoodle&#8221; and &#8220;Yorkidoodle&#8221; are more silly than cutesy? There is an unwritten rule that dictates which dogs are &#8220;doodles&#8221; and which are &#8220;poos&#8221;, and you <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">are strongly discouraged<\/span>\u00a0 from violating this rule: if a breed name ends in a short &#8220;i&#8221; sound, it can accept the suffix &#8220;-poo&#8221; when crossbred with a Poodle.<\/p>\r\n<p>Note how the suffix &#8220;-le&#8221; in &#8220;poodle&#8221; is a short &#8220;i&#8221;. Therefore, according to the rules, a purebred poodle may alternatively be referred to as a &#8220;Poodipoo&#8221;. Poodle is one of the rare breeds that can accept both suffixes.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#poodledoodle #poodipoo<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Missed Opportunities<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You must by now realize that this means all crossbreeds should have names following one of these conventions.
