Stetson . . .

Stetson came to the team at age 4 1/2, an experienced flyball dog who had been under-utililzed by his previous team. Stetson is a black and tan Miniature Pinscher male, the clown of the team. At nine plus pounds, this little guy runs with gusto over the jumps to and from the box. He never fails to be a crowd-pleaser with his antics. We have found the perfect little balls for his tiny mouth and he eagerly snatches them at the box and returns for his piece of cheese, dancing and jumping until he gets it.

He has been the height dog for several squads, his personal favorite being the Split Endz. He recently gained notoriety when he briefly filled in as height dog for our Division 1 team, but he really prefers a squad with less intensity.

Although he is techically a dog, when you meet Stetson, you are reminded not of other dogs you have met, but of other animals you have seen or read about. At various times, he has been described as resembling a small dinosaur and an organ grinder's monkey.

Stetson has done agility and will also show off the multitude of tricks that he knows - for a piece of cheese. He recently earned his Flyball Master title. When he is not performing in flyball, he keeps himself fit and trim by hunting for lizards or gophers at his half acre home. Stetson is truly a special Miniature Pinscher.
