Chihuahua Got Game: Pool Playing Pooch

09/03/2010

Yes, technically he is cheating. I do not care.

Okay, okay, so little Amadeus the Chihuahua, the world's tiniest billiards-man, may prematurely sink the eight-ball and technically he's kind of cheating, but who the heck cares?! His can-do attitude and adoro little growls and grunts he smugly snorts after sinking each ball is to die for.

Positive Reinforcement = Pool Playing Pooch

According to our friends at PEOPLEPets.com, one day Amadeus' owner, Connie Baldwin, put him up on the pool table and said, 'Go get the ball.'  Given his diminutive size, Amadeus wasn't able to actually bite the balls, but when his owner repeated 'Go get the ball' again, he started knocking them around like a pro! Every time the eager pooch would knock one into the pocket, she would praise him — and that's how the world's smallest hustler got his start.

It's certainly a convenient skill to have: Connie and her husband, Mike, run Robin's Billiards in Monroe, Washington, where Amadeus joins them every day, often performing for customers.
