Hobbies: Lickin' and Wigglin'; stealing mom's frisbee

Flyball History: Shanzii started class as a wee pup in the spring of 2001. She learned so fast, but had to let time pass before we'd let her work the box...age got in the way. Now, as of winter 2003 she has begun to practice with the team.

Strengths: Fast, fast, fast!!! Natural swimmer's turn.

Weaknesses"Weakness? what do you mean?! I am a Border Collie, we have no weakness...OK, you got me, so I am a little stubborn and obsessive."

Meaning of Name Merles remind me of hyenas....Shanzii is one of the hyenas on The Lion King.

Motto: "Ohhhh, toes!!"
