I don’t know when the decision was made but we know have a little puppy. Triple cross between a Maltese, Poodle and Shitzu. It took us an hour to decide on a name, and even after that we couldn’t cooperate. Eventually (the next day) we agreed on Chuckles. I came up with the name. And incase you were wondering he is named after Chuck Bartowski.
