Tequila Shooter Shooter joined the Geen Family in March 2005. Her name, Sarah, just didn’t describe her energy or tenacity, and she was soon aptly renamed, Tequila Shooter. Although small in size, this little fire ball is HUGE in personality and spirit. She is competitive and loves to swim, retrieve and perform new tricks. In typical terrier fashion, she has a lot to say about everything and can always be found in the middle of whatever is going on. She has run several 4.9 second runs in flyball, which demonstrates the huge heart, in this little 11 ½ inch dog. Shooter has been a great addition to the INXS flyball height dog pool.

Cujo Cujo is a 4 year old pug running with Flyball Fanatics in Region 8 since Sept 06. His mom is Nathalie Torres. Cujo is the first pug to get his FMX title and is currently ranked number 1 pug in Nafa. Cujo averages 6.7-7secs. His fastest time ever was 6.2, this is not great speed but for a pug it sure is! He is also the full time height dog for his team "PugPower"! Cujo loves the sport and the treats that come along with it! Some of the judges get a kick out of his cries on the racing lane. He sounds like a car engine starting up. Cujo and his mom would like to Thank all of the Flyball Fanatics members for their great support! And for more racing years ahead. Photo by David Winters.

Yoda Yoda is a 10-year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi from Omaha, NE. Owned and handled by Deb Lipschultz on the Omaha SpeedRacers team in region 21. He started his fun filled career by running amuck in the racing lanes, after no time he turned into a reliable staple on our team, running a consistent time of 6.2 through the power years of his career. As the height dog Yoda helped our big dogs achieve many great accomplishments. Yoda recently earned his FDGCh-60 at the age of 10. With a heavy heart Deb had to retire Yoda after a long successful career. Yoda will go down as the #1 Pembroke Welsh Corgi in NAFA with 60,294 points. Yoda has made many lasting memories on our team and will be truly missed. Photo by Dale Smith
