Mingo believes that her and Turbo has been separated at birth, and Turbo agrees!!! This two chocolate long-haired chihuahuas are so similar.

The funny thing is that Mingo first name was Gizmo.

Mingo lives in California and will probably appears next Fall in an ad for the product Ascics Running Shoes. This what Kate wrote us about Mingo.

“Mingo is 2.5 years old. She is named after the performing Chihuahua that my grandmother (Grandma Borgia) owned in the 1950’s. And just two months ago, Mingo did her own little performance. The photographer, George Fulton, was looking for a “yappy comical little dog” and Mingo was picked to be the yappy little dog. Mingo had to bark at the runner as she ran passed the house. Mingo who is a barker decided NOT to bark that day so we decided that if she sat in the yard for awhile she would become more at ease and more territorial. Voila! It worked and Mingo barked and barked and barked for two hours and earned her $500.00.”

Mingo has a supergreat website, and if you like Chihuahua you should check it out! You’ll find out about her adventures at Yellowstone Park, Mount Rushmore, Carmel, Mendocino, Lake Tahoe and the Grand Canyon.
