Our First DoxPhest

Today was our area's doxphest and boy are we all tired this evening!  It was our first experience at such an event and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  What a great site to see so many dachshunds in one place!  Rod won his first 2 heats, I was very proud of him!  Of course, I would have been proud if he got last place in the very first race :)  Some footage to enjoy is below!

Fell asleep during the action!


Some doxie art!

    What a fun day!!! A couple of years back our Mama organized a Doxiefest at our local dog park -it was a blast! There were over 60 (we lost count) dachshunds - who knew there were so many living in our small Island?
    There are pictures located on our blog, but you have to scroll back a bit to see them!

    Maybe we can talk Mama into having another one next June!

    What a nice event. I have a dream to organize a dacksy event in my town, too. There are no such events here, but I'm sure people would love it. Any tips?

    hey brina!

    i think that's a great idea. i think your blog is a great way to start organizing so you can get helpers and start spreading the word! most of the advertising was done online but there were also notices in the paper. this doxphest was held at the local fairgrounds. i think anywhere that you can do it rain or shine is a great place to start. good luck!!!
