The one on the right is Khaleesi. I posted a thread in H/A almost 2 years ago when we first got her to get some help with the name. But the one on the left is nameless.

Khaleesi is a chihuahua dachshund mix and the one on the left is a chihuahua spitz mix. The unnamed puppy is also female.

Oh and the human is my wife.

    I always like to pull names from books, I'm guessing from "Khalesi" that I'm not alone in this.
    Maybe Shai-Hulud, Shai for short?

    If you're going with ASoIaF, then why not another name/title from the series? I mean, a Chihuahua-Spitz mix? That just screams "Balerion, the Black Dread", if you ask me...

    My Arakkine is a little rusty, but isn't that "Maker"?

    ...

    I approve.


    Edit: My dad's sister has an older German Sheperd/Rotty mix called Rocky, older then her kid. When her and her family got another dog (dachshund) a couple years ago they named him Bulwinkle.

    Bale-ryan. Obviously.
    Buh-lair-ee-on (I haven't done phonics since junior high, so sue me.)

    I think Danny's assistant in the book is spelled Chinqui or something...or at least that's how it's pronounced, and it's an awesome name for the dog.

    "Eggnog"

    God knows why but when I saw the little critter, that's the first word that popped into my head

    Black Tornado III. Obviously.

    Make sure you call the puppy by the full name, Black Tornado III. It's very important. :p

    French Fries.

    That way you always giggle/smile when you call your dog.

    Yeah that was it! Now that I see it written properly I like it even more.

    If the dog on the left's head is going to stay that wrinkly, I say she looks like a Yoda.

    What is this I don't even.

    Yup, either "Maker" or "Great Maker". I'm 32 years old and the idea of naming a dog after a nerdy poop joke still makes me chuckle.
    There is no hope for me.

    There's that and double plus of naming a tiny dog after a huge thing with an impressive name.
