CONTESTANT 1 /// PET NAME: Rocky /// BREED: Boxer /// OWNER: Luke S. /// DESCRIPTION: He is strong, fearless, loyal and plays like a Dawg!

CONTESTANT 2 /// PET NAME: Sadie /// BREED: Pit Bull /// OWNER: Patrick M. /// DESCRIPTION: She’s good a DAWG!?

CONTESTANT 3 /// PET NAME: Bitsy Springer /// BREED: Nigerian Dwarf Pygmy Goat /// OWNER: Coach Jeremy /// DESCRIPTION: Bitsy does her own thing, she eats what she wants so she will compete in the contests she wants. Does your goat wear a Texas Dawgs hat? Yeah, didn't think so. I told Bitsy to reach out to the Hartford Yard Goats to see if they have a mascot opening. Bitsy told me "BawWWW bawww BAwwww", which translated means The Dawgs are my favorite team, The Dawgs or bust!

CONTESTANT 4 /// PET NAME: Dabu /// BREED: Cathahoula Leopard Dog /// OWNER: Ryan S. /// DESCRIPTION: She Fancy. Dabu enjoys the finer things in life like Renaissance art, Shakespearean literature, and jumping the fence whenever she can.

CONTESTANT 5 /// PET NAME: Rubble /// BREED: English Bulldog /// OWNER: Head Honcho /// DESCRIPTION: Hi friends! ???? I’m Rubble! I am the ultimate Texas Dawgs mascot (sorry to my competition), because I have been loyal to baseball(s) (well any ball or frisbee) since I was a young pup. I will hunt down that ball and take that ball to the house (aka home plate). My mom would probably tell you that in Rubble language that means hold on to that ball with my jaws of steel. But, hey, an out is an out right?! I’m currently learning how to swing a bat but due to my short legs - I’m not too bendy. I also love to wear clothes and would proudly wear my mascot jersey. Finally, I am the perfect candidate due to the way I embody (physically for sure) the Texas Dawg spirit. I have a mean bark - if I choose to display it - and I am also a ham to anyone who rubs my belly, tells me I’m good looking and brings me food. I’m sending you all big droopy kisses! I can’t wait to meet you all soon! (Preferably on the field - but due to my love of baseballs - mom seems to be weary to let me help out the team.) Thank you for voting for me!

CONTESTANT 6 /// PET NAME: Henry /// BREED: Old English Bulldog /// OWNER: Angie L. /// DESCRIPTION: Henry is the ultimate Texas Dawg Baseball Mascot!!! He is such a handsome boy that face is so lovable. He is sweet and loves to talk back to you... apparently he has an answer to all your questions.??

CONTESTANT 7 /// PET NAME: Rockne /// BREED: Goldendoodle /// OWNER: Rob K. /// DESCRIPTION: Hi I’m Rockne and even though I don’t look like it I am a golden doodle. I love sports and am named after the greatest college football coach of all time. I am a very loyal and supportive puppy and will know when to be a therapy dawg after a bad inning and when to be excited with high fives and chest bumps after a big rally. I can also help the Dawgs outfielders with my ball skills, I can track a fly ball and make the play as well as any gold glove center fielder. But most all long days at the ball park will make me happy and I love to root on my favorite teams.

CONTESTANT 8 /// PET NAME: Hank the Hulk /// BREED: Silver Lab /// OWNER: Lyndsey C. /// DESCRIPTION: Hank should be the Texas Dawg because he is loyal, strong, loves baseballs, and is a 120 lb beast! His puppy name was Mr. Green and it is still his favorite color.

CONTESTANT 9 /// PET NAME: JJ Jr. /// BREED: Beagle /// OWNER: Andrea and Marcus V. /// DESCRIPTION: JJ and his family love and support Jeremy and Hunter B as they continue their quest to become the best father/son baseball duo. And JJ needs to get out more!

CONTESTANT 10 /// PET NAME: Jack /// BREED: Labradoodle /// OWNER: Coach Brett /// DESCRIPTION: Jack would be the best mascot! Jack doesn’t know a stranger and loves the camera. Jack smiles for pictures and poses! He doesn’t jump and he’s friendly to everyone!

CONTESTANT 11 /// PET NAME: Mr. Jaxx /// BREED: Goldendoodle /// OWNER: Patrick S. /// DESCRIPTION: He is damn near regal. Loyal but will protect at the drop of a hat. Plus he also is like a honey badger if you know what they say about them

CONTESTANT 12 /// PET NAME: Irish /// BREED: Goldendoodle /// OWNER: Rob K. /// DESCRIPTION: Irish has all the characteristics of a leader and the type A personality needed for a mascot. She is on one hand the sweetest dog to all she knows and loves but on the other has a fierce guard dog bark and growl when necessary. These are exactly the characteristics we need for our Dawgs. Gentlemen off the field, care about their teammates but the ability to turn it on and be warriors on the field and growl when necessary.

CONTESTANT 13 /// PET NAME: Hazel /// BREED: Pit Mix /// OWNER: Nichole S. /// DESCRIPTION: 1. She is beautiful. 2. She is sweet and full of energy, like I am sure all of your Dawgs are! 3. Pretty sure she loves baseball. Like super loves it. We rescued her in December (after baseball season), but she has the baseball vibe.

CONTESTANT 14 /// PET NAME: Willow /// BREED: Blue Boston Terrier /// OWNER: Lindsey C. /// DESCRIPTION: Willow should be the Texas Dawg because she is simply precious!

CONTESTANT 15 /// PET NAME: Cooper /// BREED: Dachshund /// OWNER: Hunter B. /// DESCRIPTION: Cooper is a stud and won't back down from any dog. That's the mentality for a Texas Dawg. Sure, he is oddly shaped but he resembles several things you'd find at a baseball game; hot dog, sausage and even a small baseball bat. Cooper is one valuable wiener dog.

CONTESTANT 16 /// PET NAME: Coach /// BREED: Shih Tzu /// OWNER: Mama Liz /// DESCRIPTION: Coach already has the name (although he was named after the purse company), but no one needs to know that detail. Coach is comin' atcha and he is fierce, he loves him some Dawgs baseball and has been a fan since day 1.

CONTESTANT 17 /// PET NAME: Bella Hops /// BREED: Nigerian Dwarf Pygmy Goat /// OWNER: Mama Liz /// DESCRIPTION: Bella Hops loves her some attention, so when she found out her sister Bitsy was in on the competition then she couldn't resist. Not many goats out there wear shirts, but Bella is not your typical goat as loves her some Texas Dawgs and isn't afraid to share it.

CONTESTANT 18 /// PET NAME: Faith /// BREED: Yellow Labrador /// OWNER: Amber and Brian /// DESCRIPTION: "Why should Faith win?" "I mean what else do you need other than that FACE?"
