Huntington Beach, Calif. - Dachshund Racing in Huntington Beach has become quite popular at Old World German Village, a place where this dog feels right at home, tracing its roots to Germany over 300 years ago. Bred to hunt badgers, the swift, 4-legged wiener dogs can enter the regularly scheduled races held for fun and entertainment.
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.

Rocco's Big RaceRocco Raced this Sunday at the 2006 Wiener Nationals on 10/1/2006 at the Old World Village in Huntington Beach. He gave a valiant effort but did not manage to place. He did really good for his first time and we are proud of him.
