Popo

Breed: mix
DOB: June 2011
Titles: in training
Profile: Po and her sister Nana were rescued from the hot San Antonio sun at just three weeks old. Po is an excellent guard dog, and thanks to her there have been no Ninja attacks and gangs of rabid squirrels have yet to take over the house. She is a fantastic swimmer and loves water in all its forms, but frozen is so awesome! Po can seam rip a stuffy with the precision of a brain surgeon and remembers where each of her tennis balls are hiding. Po loves good butt scratches and wringing herself out between the legs of dry people after a swim.

Likes: tennis balls, patrolling, snow, ice, swimming, digging, chasing squirrels, cuddling with her brother Magilla at night, ignoring Magilla in the daytime, running, butt scratches, stealing paper towels out of the trash, playing bear fight with Nana and sleeping with her feet in the air.
Dislikes: not getting her way

Jasper
Breed: Parson Russell Terrier
DOB: April 2015
Titles: In training
Profile: Often mistaken for a Jack Russell, Jasper is all terrier, all the time: feisty, stubborn and impulsive. Jasper came from from Snow Wind Farms in Carlton, OR, and at only 15" tall, he is all alpha, making sure everyone knows he is the boss. Jasper is a tugging machine, especially with his ball tug...although he will quickly drop that, once bored, for a bigger and better tug. Extremely clever, he picks up tricks quickly and problem solves to his advantage. In true terrier form, his biggest challenge is understanding he actually has to do what he has learned, when told, even when he's not in the mood. He has a sweet personality and is just as likely to race across the yard, as he is to crawl up in an open lap and snuggle.

Likes: getting his way, playing/running/jumping, his ball tug, treats
Dislikes: any kind of mechanical fans, but especially ceiling fans, the Swiffer sweeper and Swiffer mop

General Dumpling
Breed: Boston Terrier
DOB: Feb 2017
Titles: In training
Profile: General Dumpling is our baby in training and is eager to start his flyball career. He loves to tug, steal tennis balls off dogs twice his size, and sniff out any scrap of food in his vicinity. When he's not in training, he enjoys picking on his big brother, Ziggy Stardust, and stinking up the area like a true Boston Terrier.

Moose
Breed: Mixed (Staffordshire bull terrier mix)
DOB: 6/28/16
Titles: In training
Profile: Moose was “rescued” off of Craigslist at 4 months old. She was said to be a lab, border collie, pit bull mix. I definitely think she has some herding dog in her, maybe cattle dog. We instantly fell in love with her pointy ears. She turned out to be the perfect mid-sized dog full of spunk and so much energy. We joined Flying Underdogs in 2018 to give her an outlet and continue building a bond together. Moose will do anything for her ball & loves to run. She loves to go on hikes & is becoming a camping dog (thanks to flyball improving her recall!) She keeps up with her 90lb Alaskan Malamute brother on the daily. You can find her cuddled up, or snuggled into any humans lap.

Likes: Squeak toys, treats, begging for treats, chasing squirrels, chasing anything that moves including the vacuum, finding the neighborhood cats, ice cubes, kitchen food droppings
Dislikes: Sharing her toys, not being allowed to be a bed hog

Gone but not forgotten...
