Wiener Nationals A Great Success!
Well they may be little dogs but the Los Alamitos Race Track and the Seal Beach Animal Care Center think they are giants.
Los Al had one of the biggest nights of the year. The crowd was estimated at close to 20,000. (We don’t know the exact tally as we go to press.) These little dogs have the hearts of champions and the people they let live in their houses are well aware of their pooches enthusiasm.
Every dachshund had his or her own gallery.
Some had entire “teams” of supporters with their own tee shirts and uniforms.

This may not have been a photo finish in the eyes of the judges…..but every dachshund figured they were in a close race….”just a few more yards and I’ll be there!”
"One more yard and we'd have had him!"
.….and once in a while we noticed a shy guy.
"No way I'm going out there!"
I cannot describe how enthusiastic the crowd was. You can tell by these photo shots that it was impossible to get close to the rail. I’ve been at Los Alamitos race track when they had $100,000 races and didn’t draw as many folks as were there Saturday night. And everyone was smiling…including the dogs.
A great night and hopefully a lot of cash for the Seal Beach Animal Care Center. They do wonderful work. Most are volunbteers and they don’t put any animals to sleep!
Keep next year’s date on your schedule and send $10 this week to the Seal Beach Animal Care Center.
