What’s Better than a Puppy? Two Puppies!

Yesterday, we drove 2 hours to choose our Shichon (pronounced She Sean) puppy from two different litters. They were soooooo adorable we ended up with one puppy from each litter–both boys.

Christopher named the white puppy Frosty but we need help naming the second puppy.  Submit your boy dog names in the comments for a chance to win the prize listed below.

Shichons are  a Shih Tzu and Bichon Frise mix. The mix is also known as Teddy Bears, Zuchons, Shishchons, Shih Chons. There best known for melting into your chest. Both puppies are  mothers are Bichon Frise  and both fathers are Shih Tzu.

Working Dogs. Their Job is to L-O-V-E!

Our Great Pyrenees’ job is to watch goats which he does beautifully. The Shichon is also a working dog. Their job is to look adorable, make you say AWWW, cuddle,  and love. These puppies are 10 weeks and already excerpts at their jobs.

It is amazing, when I hold them I feel like I took a tranquilizer (as I do when I hold a newborn) .They just dissolve into your lap– no matter how rambunctious they might be on the floor– as soon as you pick them up they switch into cuddle mode like someone pushed a button.

How cool is it that- they cuddle-on-demand? They are called Teddy Bears becasue they look like Ewolks and act like a huggable stuffed animal.

Puppies better than Prozac!

A few names we have thought of

  • Chewbacca (teehe like naming a goldfish Moby )
  • Honey (color of the golden brown in his coat)
  • Dee-Oh-gee (my brother’s idea, also pronounced D-O-G)
  • Teddy (obviously for Teddy Bear)
  • Ewolk (also obvious)

What will they Look Like Grown?

Our pups will be should weigh about 10 to 15 lbs fully grown.

Our Great Pyrenees

Funny our 100 lb Great Pyrenees looked much the Shichon pups when they were little. Big difference, grown Great Pyrenees weigh about 100 lbs.

Name Our Puppy Contest

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.Pr 22:1

Leave you names in the comments. My son will chose from the suggestions Saturday, May 30, 2009.

Winner gets a free book of their choice by Cesar Millan author of several bestselling dog training books and host of the Dog Whisperer.


If we come up with a name not in the comments we will give away the book by a random drawing.

Looking forward to hearing your ideas.


May 30: Congratulations Tina from Cinnamon Whirls Blog. You are the winner.

Thank you for the adorable names. Our son David named our puppy Trooper on his own so we  used RandomDrawing.org to find a winner from the comments. This was a fun week. Thanks again.

    What a cutie.
    Here are my choices:
    Carmel (or Karmel)
    Tip (for the white tip at the tip of his tail)
    Freeze – for the Frise in Bichon. Frosty and Freeze? :) (Ha! I just saw Jocelyn’s “Frise” choice)
    Latte (he just reminds me of a carmel latte – and I get mine frozen, so….

    Ok, I think I have a brain freeze, so that’s all for me for now.

    I’m avoiding editing…

    First name that popped into my head:

    Mugsy: He’s got such a cute little mug!
    Though he does look like an Ewolk!
    Blizzard: ’cause he’s got all those colors mixed up and it sound cute with Frosty

    That’s all I got, back to editing!

    I would have gone for Shalom, but that has already been submitted. How about Rootbeer Float to go with Frosty?

    I think Fudge and Ripple were both cute suggestions.

    What a cute breed and great looking puppies.

    How about “Smokey” or “Toasty” as a play on frost?

  29. Comment by Tiany :

    Ok, this is the sweetest puppy ever! I was a Vet Tech for 7 years and have never heard of of this mix of breed, so cute! We just got a new puppy too, her name is Nala. :-) We love dogs around here too.

    Now for your puppy….. I think a great name for this little guy would be Simba (little lion):-)

    I’m looking for a really small teddy bear. If I find a female I’ll name her Molly. If a male he’ll be Dooley. For your dog how about Finnegin? Call him Finn for short. Finnegin when he’s naughty.

    I wanted to jot a line to keep in touch with you because in November we drove across the state to pick up our 8 week old Shichon sisters….Stella and Blanche (Streetcar Named Desire) They are adorable and so much fun. We are crate training them together and thought we could touch base with you and compare how it is to raise two of them at the same time. Let me know how yours are progressing!!!!!
