My Family and I were trying to think up a "Designer Dog Name" for our Lhasa x Chow mix.
Any Ideas for fun Designer Name for my mutt puppy?

He is adorable looks much like a lhasa except he is a big boy!!!
He weighed 15lbs at the vets this week at 17 weeks old stands about 7inches at the shoulder and from base of his neck to base of his tail (body) is about 13inches long. So he is about twice as long as he is tall.

The Vet tried to tell me he was too heavy and needed to cut back his food. Because Lhasas are only to be 15lbs fully grown and he is only half way there...He is active and only gets the minimum suggested amount for his age and size...and I don't find him fat...I can feel his ribs...he is a puppy shape of course. And I find his Bones to be very heavy feeling. Puts me in mind of my friends Basset hound...short thick bones.

I have asked this before but any takers on his eventual size when he reaches adulthood? Do you think he will always be twice as long as he is tall? and the idea that a pup at 4months is about half the adult size...is that for height too? I mean with that thought he would be roughly 14inches and 30lbs?

Love my mutt puppy this is fun wondering how he will grow and change.

Thanks

His feet are huge and seem even more webbed than my labs...is it possible he is part Duck or Frog? haha!
