Sombrero Adventure
Big-dog confidence, tiny-dog size, and enough style to wear a sombrero like she was born for it.
A very good girl • Professional fanny packer • 2× beauty queen
A little Chug with a big-dog attitude.
She may be small, but in her mind she's a German Shepherd. She listens, she wants to please, and she has the jumping ability to prove she's got some serious horsepower.

Officially: very good girl.
The official biography
Dog Unknown is a Chug — part Chihuahua, part Pug, and 100% convinced that she is a German Shepherd.
She's a very good girl who listens, wants to please, and apparently believes the couch is a launch pad. From a standing start, she can jump higher than a person's head.
She also loves going fanny packing: heading out for walks and adventures with her human.
The résumé
Dog Unknown is a two-time beauty queen from the county fair. She has the ribbons to prove it.
Minidoka County Fair • Rupert, Idaho
Life outside the couch
She may be a tiny Chug, but she's never short on confidence.
Big-dog confidence, tiny-dog size, and enough style to wear a sombrero like she was born for it.
Her best friend is a Husky. Different sizes, different equipment, same team.
Bows, dresses, ribbons — she takes her public appearances seriously.

I'm not a small dog. I'm a German Shepherd who happens to be compact.
