I love this photo of an airbourne dachshund!
Huntington Beach, California, is the venue for the Dachshund Racing.
“Dachshund Racing or Wiener Dog Racing has not been around for very long but thanks to the creative ad agency for the 1993 Miller Lite television commercial that listed odd possibilities for sports such as The Miss Perfect Face Off, Sumo Platform Diving and Wiener Dog Drag Races, this phenomenon has taken off in a big way. Wiener Dog Dachshund races are extremely popular events—some horse and dog racing tracks break attendance records when the doxies race days and nights are held.”
Read more Here. The article states that some people are concerned that dachshund racing is bad for their backs, but dachshunds were originally bred to hunt badgers. Surely, that must have involved lots of running too?
The next dachshund races at Huntington Beach, California, aren’t until September 16th but I can’t wait til Sept to show you this photo!
