Our Goofy New Addition

Had his first training session! It's fun training a dog that's mine and not a herder! Have the concept of 'touch' down, he already knows sit really well, has NO clue about down and we started a perch and got as far as his front feet on it.
I took him and Traveler for a walk together, then let them loose together in the back yard. They *cough* Traveler *cough* are much less tense around eachother now.
Traveler even initiated play with him. Sadly, Traveler's way to initiate play is...well, "Charge at dogs as fast as I can, take a leap, land in front of them in a play bow and BARK" Because you know, that makes you all the friends in the world. But we're getting much more relaxed tail wags.
I know, and it's such a stupid reason to have to loose your dog. To have to decide to loose your home or your puppy. Just wrong and I honestly felt like I was stealing their dog. It was hard.
Out of curiosity, how much bigger do you guys think he'll grow? I know that's hard to ask since he's a mix and I don't even know how much he weighs right now but I'm used to my smaller dogs that are full height and weight around 5 months almost.
I figure he's going to fill out some and he'll probably get taller? Right? 7 month old lab/dane mix.
OH! And name suggestions welcome!

He's super cute and sounds awesome and perfect!
This is a funny one, Yarrow pretty much reached his full height and weight by about 10 months. He's such a big guy I thought he would grow for longer, but he just packed it all in before then.
And then Onyx, who's a little girl, I figured she must be done growing at around 6 or 7 months, but nope. She grew easily up to a year, she is still gaining weight in fact.
I expect he'll get quite a bit taller.
