    New Flyball Project!

    There is an older woman on our flyball team who rescued a Chihuahua x from the States a few months back. She also has a Mini Pin. She has two arthritic knees, and hasn't been coming out lately because she was finding trying to train two dogs at once a little overwhelming. Our team REALLY needs height dogs, so I have agreed to train the Chi x, Mobi, for her.

    He isn't the best looking dog ever, but he grows on you! lol Any guesses as to what his mix is?

    He is adorable!!!
    I'd say Whippet mix.......???
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Not so sure about Whippet. Iggy/Chi sounds like a more common mix, but then he looks kind of chunky for a skinny iggy/chi mix I do have to say he reminds me of a Min Pin...Maybe it's just the markings.

    I have no idea what he might be, but good luck with him! I hope he'll make a good height dog for the team.

    I think it's for Italian Greyhound... but I might be wrong.

    That's what I meant!!! But Whippet was the only name to come to mind.
    Whippets are bigger, right?

    Chi/Min Pin is what I thought too when I saw him. I think he is adorable. Have fun training that cutie.

    That tail makes me think Iggy () also.
    (I didn't have a clue what Iggy was either! )

    Cutie!
    Best of luck!

    He's a cutie! =D I knew what an Iggy was, but maybe that is because of my obsession with greyhounds :3 Jess, that is great that you decided to help this women and train her dog. I see Chi/Iggy mix as well. His tail reminds me of an Iggy.

    Great suggestion... I can really see the "Iggy" now too! Especially in that tail. Our first practice is on Sunday and I can't wait.
