dachshunds flock to the Heath on Sunday

 

dachshund lovers from around the Capital and the South East will be flocking to Hampstead Heath this Sunday for the third annual dachshund fest.

 

Organised and run by the popular dachshunds in London club, the West Meadow of the Heath will be filled with pint sized pooches frolicking and racing to raise money for charity.

 

Special guests include Dima Yeremenko and his Good Boy Dog school, Sniffles Dog Spa and dog photographer Yulia Titovets.

The day will be jam packed with prizes including Equafleece jumpers, a Sniffles spa day treatment and lots of yummy treats from organic food company Lily's Kitchen.

Directions to the West Meadow can be found online via the Hampstead Heath website

A day at the races

It was the Ascot of the canine world but without the bets and with much more pazazzz! or should I say PAWzazzz!

The last official race day of 2010 until next spring but the turn out was phenomenal with almost 50 dogs wagging, frolockling and competing - dachshunds in London's greatest meet to date!

Crowds gathered as the club paraded in fancy dress costumes - many hand made for the occasion and camera were rolling for the SKY 1 DOGumentary airing this autumn!

The dogs raced in two separate heats and winners were awarded with dog spa prizes and home baked bone treats!

At the end of the racing the dachshunds gathered for a spot of sausage eating under the bandstand and rain coats and umbrellas began to appear!


Despite it raining 'cats and dachshunds' the group still battled towards the end until many got too wet to enjoy anymore...
