They may end up reusing assets from the Mad Cat, but that wouldn't be terrible. They can scale the dimensions of the various component pieces of the legs to fit them better as opposed to having to start modeling from scratch.
As an aside, I'd probably make the Mad Dog a little more slight in the upper body and bulk up the legs just SLIGHTLY to make it appear more stable. The side view on the mech is by far one of the biggest offenders in all of BattleTech, leading to a 'mech that seems disproportionately larger than it is, even though it makes sense when you consider how much of that torso is empty space for ammunition and LRM20's.
