With his charming nature and playful antics, Arlo is the heart of the household.

Goose is a pint-sized powerhouse of zoomies, mischief, and heart. With zero formal race training and a wildly unpredictable flight path (read: sprint, zigzag, stop for sniffs), Goose is here to prove that not all heroes soar—some wiggle. Known for his love of all dogs (especially fellow weenies), he’s just as likely to take a detour fake a hard left and start leading a motivational bark session.
 Special Skills:
    •    Aerodynamic ear flaps
    •    Bark of bravery
    •    Strong “main character” energy
Strategy:
Run? Maybe. Inspire legends? Definitely.

Hi, my name is Rebel! This is my second year in the race, and I am excited to return to the lanes. I have spent time training with my furry cat siblings in the backyard this summer and cannot wait to put my speed to the test. One of my favourite activities is four wheeling rides with my dad. I have been told I'm sweet but rebellious, so watch out.

Owner(s): Justine

He’s back and he’s faster than ever. This German lowrider is a certified menace on the track, and he’s here to reclaim his rightful spot on the podium. Blink and you’ll miss him, he’s all paws, power, and pure determination. He’s the Max Verstappen of wiener dogs - built for speed, born to win!

At just 5 years old, SJ the wirehaired dachshund is bringing the heat to this year’s Wiener Dog Dash! Don’t let the short legs fool you — this feisty fur missile has a need for speed, a nose for snacks, and a flair for the dramatic. With wiry hair that screams "I woke up like this," SJ combines scruffy charm with serious racing chops. Whether she's chasing squirrels or the competition, one thing's for sure: SJ is here to steal hearts, win races, and maybe snag a hot dog or two along the way.

Owner(s): Kimberley

Just like his namesake, Norm Peterson from Cheers, our Norman knows how to make an entrance. You can almost hear the echoes of the crowd chanting "NORM!" as he waddles towards the start line. His strategy? Dominate the course (i.e. finish before the sun sets). Secure the snacks. Nap.

This wiener from Wasaga, a rookie with ambition, is here to demonstrate that the most heroic feats are achieved with minimal leg work, maximum chill, and the unwavering conviction that a belly full of cheddar is the ultimate trophy. Forget gold medals, he's after the good stuff.

Owner(s): Amber

Owner(s): Alexa

My name is Winston, but you can call me Winnie! My mom would tell you I bark too much, but that's how I say hello (she doesn't understand). Sometimes people make fun of my crooked tail but my mom says it makes me more aerodynamic... whatever that means. My older sister is a Bernese mountain dog and my brother is an American bulldog so sometimes I forget how little I am, but they are quick to remind me and to that I say size is a mindset!

Owner(s): Gargi

Jersey No. 9 – Oreo is lightning on four paws! A proud wiener dog with a nose for adventure, he’s often found sprinting after bunnies and terrorizing backyard squirrels. When he’s not racing, Oreo enjoys sunbathing, burrowing under blankets, and dreaming of his next victory. His playful antics and fearless spirit make him the little legend of the house!

Owner(s): Leah

Owner(s): Kelsey

Watch out fellow weens! 
The Queen is here to take the crown 
My name is Cleo and I live with my family in Guelph. 
I’m equal parts sweet and sassy and I love to ham it up for the camera. I enjoy playing with friends, ripping expensive toys to shreds, and making people smile. 
Oh and did I mention I’m fast? 
Game on, hot dogs. See you at the race!

Owner(s): Gabby

My puppy is a very sweet, snuggly girl. She is always very cautious in new environments, but quickly adjusts once she sniffs around and confirms everything is safe. Her favourite place to be is in her parents’ laps - she is the absolute definition of a Velcro dog!

Owner(s): Patricia

Barry is a fun loving and very affectionate silver cream dapple mini long haired dachshund. He loves cuddles and tummy rubs, chasing squirrels. Barry has selective hearing and only comes when called 50% of the time (apparently, we have learned that this is a common dachshund trait lol)
