Wiener Dog Dachshund Races

OMG what great fun! I have a dachshund so of course I had to participate. I was a little skeptical on how the race would work but it is held in a enclosed area of old world and was well managed and very organized and put together well. Everyone got super into it and it was fun to watch all of the dachshunds run. The owners get super into it too and a lot of spectators cheered on the dogs from the sidelines. It was 16 dollars to enter a dog and if you have a dog running you get 2 tickets. It is only 2 dollars per ticket for people to come watch… I recommend coming to these races at least once! It was a fun, entertaining, inexpensive way to kill a few hours on a Sunday afternoon. Also, side note, the store where you go to check your dog in is super cute and has a dachshund theme… the owner, Ingred is super sweet and loves wiener dogs. I’m coming back to old world for the next race for sure… super fun day!

This is the greatest time EVER. Even if you’re not a dachshund fan, you will have a blast watching the little guys run and their crazy owners egging them on. During Octoberfest is especially crazy, but every first Sunday is a blast too!

I don’t know why I had so much fun here! It may be those cute little legs running wild, combined with the festivities of Octoberfest … But who cares! This event rocks!
It occurs every Sunday (during Octoberfest) and one Sunday each month (during non-​Octoberfest months). You can bring your dogs too, but they can’t race (only the weiners can race).
$ 1 for admission to Octoberfest and another $ 1 for the races, totaling $ 2 for a few hours of fun! Get your ticket at the dachshund store at Old World because they sell them the cheapest.
Get there early for good seating, and have fun!

We had a lot of fun at these wiener dog races yesterday. It’s $ 1 to get in, they have kegs of good german beer and big cups for $ 7, and you get to hang around and watch these little dogs run.
Maybe it’s because i’ve been drinking more light beer lately, but geez, those german beers got me good. I was completely wasted by the time I left. There went the rest of my Sunday…
I’d totally go again though, very much worth the ticket. And, the whole atmosphere of old world village is cool. Next time, I gotta watch those beers though — wow.

The Dachshund races are hilarious. The pet owners are ridiculous. Well worth the $ 1 ticket.

Races held on the «cobblestone streets» outside of Old World Village Restaurant. Held annually all summer long and during Oktoberfest celebrations.
Nothing like chugging down some REAL bier, feasting on good ol’ bratwurst, pretzels. Than swaying to the oompah band (straight from Munchen) and watchin those little Dachshund legs move @ a mile minute (which is the real reason why you showed up anyway right)? Some of those little buggers are pretty competitive and serious athletes. I’ve witnessed, owners at the finish line, holding «Ducky’s» favorite teddy bear, a piece of cheese or some other tempting reward to give to the little prince and princesses.
