At the sausage dog Olympics

dachshunds in London at Regents Park

Over 30 dogs and their owners gathered last Sunday to compete in the super charged dachshund in London races at Regents Park.

London's most popular dachshund club, with members from all over the city, gathered next to the very apt 'Honest Sausage' cafe to make new friends and frolic with old. Amongst the crowd were many new pups and even some re-homed friends. The races even stopped TV presenter Nick Grimshaw in his tracks to watch on at the dashing dogs. Nick later tweeted "At the sausage dog Olympics".


Well done everyone! Especially our 3 main winners...
Photographer Yulia Titovets captured the event beautifully so dont forget to check out her pictures here - dachshunds in London September races.

Huge thanks to everyone who took part and those donated to the club once again. Its your participation and friendship that have made this club what it is today!

More beady eyes just for you

Meet Rufus. He has just joined dachshunds in London after his mum and dad Caroline and John Wilson came a searching for a pup within our club.

The couple put a great deal of time and effort (as should we all) into searching for their perfect pup family member.

Last month they joined in the fun at the monthly club meet up to talk to other members about recommended breeders and characteristics and decided a dachshund was going to be the breed of choice!

Little Rufus has already had his formal initiation into the brotherhood pack of fellow London slinky mutts and so we wish Ru Ru many more meets - Welcome little one!

Louie meets Gok Wan

New dachshund in London member, Louie, just 4 months old, visited Hyde Park on Sunday and met How to look good naked celebrity Gok Wan.

Gok Wan stumbled across our monthly dachshund meet up as he took a Sunday stroll in the park only to be amazed by our cute little sausage buddies. He just couldn't resist a cuddle with tiny Louie.

We may spot Gok with a dachshund friend wearing high street couture- watch this space!

Sealed with a paw

Dachshunds in London's Mojo, Toto and Milo were the stars of fiance Andrew's big proposal to girlfriend Renee on Saturday afternoon.

The big event, which took place at a romantic spot by Angel canal in London, was planned and included a group of singers, champagne, flowers and boat. I could barely contain myself - it was so romantic! 

Andrew requested the presence of our bow clad dachshunds, his fiancees favourite dog, to greet and approach them as he proposed. The ring was carried and proudly presented by Mojo in a box.

Dachshunds in London would like to wish Andrew and his future wife a very happy marriage we were privileged to be a part of such a special day!

Huge thanks also goes out to Noriko and her beautiful four pawed friends who were the stars of the proposal.
