MUSTARD UP COURAGE & TRY TO KETCHUP!
Dachshunds & Weenie Wannabes
Honktoberfest is here once again and that only means one thing…the Dachshunds & Weenie Wannabes are coming to town! September 30, 2023 in Biwabik, Minnesota. Registration begins at noon and races will begin at 1pm.

We will be racing drag race style. Two dogs per heat. We will have two categories:

2. Weenie Wannabes (dogs 20# or under)
Teams will consist of one dog and two humans, one human at the starting line, one human at the finish line. People do not run with the dogs from one end to the other.
You can use a toy to coax your dog, but please, no food. No throwing balls or toys.
Please keep all dogs on a leash until they race.
Please clean up after your dogs. Poop bags will be available.
Race judges will have the final say on the race, including dogs who get a jump start and those who cross the finish line.
