Buddy, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel ehibits picture-perfect puppy-dog eyes and puffy schnozzle. I have to ask you guys, though—there should be a name for the puffy area around the nose—you know, the place where whiskers eminate?! it's so prosh—what is that area called? Is it cheek puff?
Take him for a walk, Joy M.! :)

i think it just the "muzzle" area.
MUZZLE! Good call. Then that makes his a 'Puzzle'? [you saw that coming a mile away.]
Yeah, I was gonna say "muzzle."
OMG its so cute. too bad this picture appeared after the t-shirt poll. maybe next time, this will be one of the choices
Cheek puff is better than muzzle. Cheek puff FTW!
So cute i wanna cry!
I agree "cheek puff" is cuter. But I don't think of that as his cheek. "Schnozz puff," maybe.
KISS THE CHEEK PUFF!!!!
"Schnozzle Puff" is like a great name for a Mattel toy or something. I can almost hear the theme song now...
Is that a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel or a King Charles Spaniel? BTW there is no "cocker" in this dog's name!
We have a short-nosed dog, and we call his little nose a fuzzle - short for fuzzy muzzle.
Finally!!!!!!A new post, thanks Meg, what was the hold up?
I hesitate to suggest.
But considering that it tends to be the place where whiskers originate. And it is, as you said, a Puff area.
May I suggest Whuff?
(and when I say it to myself there is a great deal of exhaled air and a almost silent h sound before the W. The quiet sound a dog makes when they puff out their cheeks in a subsonic, personal bark.)
[robotic voice] Whisker Emination Area!
I've always called that part of the dog his doolaps, but that's a word for a different part of the face, I think...
*looks it up*
Okay, it's spelled dewlap and it's the loose flap of skin on the neck of some animals. Oh well. I still like to call that part of a dog's muzzle the dewlaps. :)
Thanks, Erin, you were right, I miss-typed. He's indeed a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Thanks!
Oh what a little beauty! Puppies! Puppies! They always makes me happies!
Muzzle, nevah.
Cheek puff sounds way cuter :)
So "Whuff" and "Cheek puff" to you all.
Oh, the puppyness.
How about Wozzle?
When I was little my brothers and I used to call it the "puff-part" :)
after the crapy weekend i had, this made me feel so much better!
Well; He Wants Y'All To Take A Break From The Puffles & Muffles Put Them Up Your Wuzzles And Take Him For A Walk.
That is just too precious.
Okay, who was the wiseguy that's been putting stuffed animals to life?
Please, please let me wuzz this doggie!
I LOVE THIS PICTURE! He is sooo adorable.
Owner:"No."
Puppy"...."
Owner:"No, don't look at me like that!"
Puppy:"...."
Owner"No, oh alright, you can have just a bit of my ice cream, just this once!"
Puppy wags tail!
(Yes I know ice cream is bad for puppies and dogs in general, but that will not stop them from begging, I know it didn't stop my dog!)
^_-
I have heard, and prefer, the term "whisker humps", but that's just me.
I think that you have made us know and appreciate "cheek puff." It simply must be cheek puff. Whether or not it is technically "cheek" matters not. We know what it is and it is precious.
"Nush" (rhymes with push). Contains hints of nose, plush, nozzle, prosh... Could be a verb, too, as in when a dog puts his nose under your hand and "nushes" it up onto his or her head. And that plush nush brushing your hand ensures that you will comply...
We call 'em "nose pillows" but "cheek puffs" is cuter. :)
OK, so far we have the following contenders to name the puffy whisker area:
1. Nush
2. Cheek Puffs
3. Schnozzle
4. Nozzle
5. Whuff
6. Muzzle
7. Whisker Humps
8. Puffles & Muffles
9. Puff-Part
10. Dewlaps
11. Schnozz Puff
12. W.E.A. (Whisker Emination Area!)
A nice collection. Shall we have a poll on it?
Now wait just a sec - most all animals have whiskers.
Is this term gonna be appicable to *all* animals, or dogs only?
Such burning questions we debate here! ;)
in this house we always call those whisker-pads, well, whisker-pads. :-D
The whisker-madness is distracting people from the singular feet on this pup; nose, too. His feet are incredible.
I hope I get to walk him in my dreams...
Is it possible for a King Charles spaniel to have a Roundhead?
Oh, and I've heard them referred to as whisker-bags.
This little guy's muzzle is so amazingly snarfable, I can only come up with "muzzy." As in, yes, "fuzzy wuzzy muzzy." Okay, must die now.
Ive always just called them 'chipmunk cheeks'
I just want to kneel down and pet his lil' head. AW
Well, when my kitties back home got happy and started purring their cheeks would get all puffed up and their whiskars all pronounced. So we called them Poofs :)
Just had to put this video from google videos - a must see for any puppy loving individual out there :)

Gotta love a puppy's whatever the heck they're called
Well once upon a time I had a boyfriend who was an airplane mechanic (I do believe he is now a pilot) who had an English field cocker spaniel. He (the boyfriend, not the dog) called those muzzly bits "canards", after the little wings on some airplanes located on the nose of the plane that are in turn named after ducks. He would play with them and make airplane noises, and the dog didn't mind. So I vote for "canards", 'cause it's extra silly.
Wow, that was long-winded and kinda pointless. Then again it's 2:43 in the morning here and I really outta go to bed.
Uh, make that "really *oughtta* go to bed". And that was with extensive use of the preview button. Oy.
I call those "cheeky cheeks".
I'm in love. They are such sweet dogs too - gorgeous dispositions.
I feel sorry for the little guy. You can see the trail his tears took from the corner of his eyes. *Hugs* to the small and fuzzy one.
never mind the cheeky cheeks, what about the feety feet?
swoon!
Foozle.
Why foozle,
I don't know.

Look at all that floppy foozle!
I'm liking fuzzle, whisker-humps, and puffles. But I think you better put this very important process to a vote.
