Little Bo-Peep is a very popular character from the nursery rhyme, who has lost her 3 sheep! She is kind, gentle, and always caring for her animals. You might have also seen her in the Toy Story movies as a smart and brave toy who helps her friends. Whenever your kids listen to this rhyme, a question must come to their minds — what are the names of Little Bo Peep’s sheep?
In the Toy Story films, Bo has three sheep who follow her everywhere. But did you know they have names? Let’s learn more!
What Are Bo Peep’s Sheep Names?
Bo Peep’s sheep are called Wooly, Puff, and Bubbles.
Yes, it sounds like our story of “Woody and Little Peep’s Sheep Rescue“.
According to the story, three sheep get lost in a dense, dark forest, which also puts Bo in danger. Woody and his team arrive to rescue them. Their names are different in Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story, and we have kept the names of the sheep different in our story.
Here’s what we know:
- Woofy is the leader, wearing a blue tie-knot and glasses.
- Puff has a pink tie-knot and follows Woofy around.
- Bubbles is the smallest and the strongest, but it is because of her mistakes that everyone gets into trouble.
Together, they act like one big sheep with three heads and six legs! They move and jump in sync, which looks funny and cute at the same time.
Why Are They Called Billy, Goat, and Gruff?
These names come from a fairy tale called “The Three Billy Goats Gruff.” A story where three clever goats outsmart a grumpy troll—sounds like a timeless tale, right? A classic fairy tale that’s as entertaining as it is insightful.
So Pixar named Bo Peep’s sheep this way to make it fun and familiar. Plus, it gives them their little personalities, like playful, a little stubborn, and full of surprises.

2. They always stay close to Bo Peep
Like a well-trained team, the sheep stick close to Bo, helping her carry gear, navigate adventures, and even pull off daring rescues. Their loyalty is as soft as their wool, but their intelligence? Sharp as a tack.
Pixar proves that it doesn’t need to deliver any dialogue to create personality—just thoughtful animation and a dash of humor. Think of them as the ultimate wingmen: silent, supportive, and always ready for action.
