In Valerie's last litter we kept "Cocoa", Ch Laureate Jivara. Jivara is a milk chocolate bar made by Valrhona. If anyone has any good Chocolate names, let me know!

Those puppies are amazing - you must be having a ball with them. They are all so gorgeous. Enjoy the holidays with the best gift of all, five brand new puppies ...

Sweet Bazil Chocolate
Serenata de Amor = love´s serenade
Sonho de Valsa = Dream Waltz

Nha Benta - it´s marshmallow on top of a crisp wafer and covered by a delicate layer of milk chocolate - http://www.kopenhagen.com.br/site/Produtos.aspx?v=1&pdt=432

Kisses from little cholates!

And yes Kim, Guará is a baby from Laramie x Cléo! Cleo is daughter of Kieffer, Paray´s Just Ray. I love this dogs, Laramie and Kieffer, them and Shadow Hill´s Blue Ridge Range, are the best shelties that have come to Brazil, in my opinion.

Pennylynn December 19, 2009 at 6:09 PM  

I really like Danelia's suggestion

Bombom Bossa Nova

AKA "Da Bom"

The first chocolate I realy like was BACI (means Kiss in italian) it's a Italian chocolate made by PERUGINA

Hope you like it,
jacqueline Brito

Laureate December 19, 2009 at 11:27 PM  

Oh my! Such good suggestions. I'm going to have to see if they are milk chocolate or dark chocolate! :-)

I have stopped trying to pick puppies at birth, but I'm seeing beautiful necks, and am really liking what I see so far.

Cheers, Kim

jac December 20, 2009 at 4:40 AM  

BACI is a dark chocolate with whole and chopped hazelnuts. They come individualy wraped and with a love note.

I will send Baci photo for your e-mail or you can see in the link below

What a clever way to photograph the puppies! They are a special gift. I am enjoying reading the other comments for names, but I sorry that I have nothing to offer.

Hi,
I know it's not a chocolate name, but after seeing the new pups pics, and the small girl, a dessert name came into my mind, it's made with chocolate,
PETIT GATEAU (or gateaux ?)(I don't speak french, sorry)

Good luck and happy new year,
jacqueline brito
