Introduction

Just get a new pup that's going to grow into a mid-size canine? Your new furry bestie is going to be handful- maybe! Without the giant brawn of a large dog, but having a sturdiness beyond a small to tiny pooch, your medium sized pupper may be stuck in the middle. Be sure to let your pup shine with a name all their own! Choosing an appropriate moniker can be challenging, as you generally want to showcase your growing buddy's personality, but don't want to limit them. A Cupcake or Button may be too dainty for your pup, while a Beowulf may just be too grand!
