My interest in black standard poodles started with my first standard boy Caniche Noir Le Grand Ami and also known as Kompis which was the swedish word for Friend. I had the privilege to choose Kompis kennelname and I chose Le Grand Ami or Big Great Friend, and yes that he was – he lived up to his name in every way. Thank you Maria Dellham who let me buy this special boy. So glad to still have two sons and one grandson if his at my home.
