The running of the Weiners!

Dachshunds, commonly known as the weiner dog in the US, are an extremely popular breed. The Dachshund was originally bred to chase and flush out badgers. The breed is commonly known for it's adorably cute face and elongated sausage like body. 

Dachshunds make a great family pet. It is important to be careful of their backs, as they are prone to spinal injuries.  You should not overfeed your dachshund, as this can put pressure on the dogs spine.

Did you know that every year in the US, they hold a weiner dog race, racing their dachshunds dressed up as hot dogs?! Check it out....

If you want a hot dog costume for your weiner dog, you can buy one on www.amazon.co.uk.
