Mocha has soared in popularity over the past decade, perhaps in correlation with society's growing obsession with coffee.
It's a strong hint at your pup's energy levels, which might just rival those of a double shot espresso. It's also a cheeky reference to the rich, chocolatey coat that many dogs sport.
One thing you probably didn't know is that Mocha is a port city in Yemen, known for its superior coffee beans.
So, if your pup is a rich blend of superior traits, Mocha could be a fitting tribute.
