She may weigh just 1.2 kilograms but that doesn’t stop Chloe, a teacup (or miniature) Yorkshire terrier, from getting behind one of the toughest sports going round as unofficial mascot for the Bloody Marys team in the Geelong Roller Derby League.

Owner Natasha Kapustic, who skates under the pseudonym “Carmen Attcha”, says Chloe was only 500 grams when she got her seven years ago.

“She sleeps in a little cat tent and has little steps to get up onto her bed,” says Natasha.

“I get told all the time I should pick her up because it’s mean making a little puppy walk, but then I have to tell people she’s actually seven-years-old.”
