Rumba – Miniature American/Australian Shephard, CRN 190203
We are honoured to nominate Rumba – Ghost Eye’s ‘Lil Latin Dancer as the 2025 North American Flyball Association Regional MVP. This small but mighty Miniature Australian Shepherd embodies everything a true MVP should be. At just 7 inches, Rumba doesn’t even need a “set” – her handler, Christina Chapelsky, simply drops her on “GO!” and she’s off like lightning. With a personal best of 4.637 seconds in pass, Rumba proves that heart and determination matter more than size. Now eight years old, Rumba continues to be an incredibly valuable member of NPP. She can confidently step into any position, from height dog to a solid spot on our Division 1 team, always giving her all. Fearless in the lanes, she will happily run into any dog, even those three times her size, without hesitation. Beyond her speed and skill, Rumba’s dedication and spirit inspire her teammates and highlight the importance of height dogs in Flyball. With 22,706 regular points (and counting), she is not only a competitor but a true cornerstone of our club. Rumba is proof that great things come in small packages, and we believe she exemplifies the heart, talent, and sportsmanship that the Regional MVP award represents.
