The Wiener Dog Dash - Dog Profiles

Owner(s): Lucille

Louis may be slow, he may be fast. He does not care if he is last. He wants to run just for the fun!

Owner(s): Leah

Stanley is 9 years of pure aerodynamic excellence and separation anxiety. He specializes in barking at anyone that comes close to the house and being afraid when any inanimate object moves or makes noise. Stanley’s strategy for today’s race involves zero practice and maximum speed, driven entirely by the desperate need to find his mom at the finish line.

Owner(s):Chivalry

Last year, Norman (named for the legendary Norm Peterson of Cheers) made his Wiener Dog Dash debut with a false start, a Starbucks pup cup scandal, and a finish time that can only be described as "eventually."

He has spent the year in silence. Training. Swimming laps. Running agility courses. Rethinking his life choices.

This wiener from Wasaga returns humbler, faster, and with one very important update to his race strategy: wait for the word "GO!" before peeling off the start line.

Owner(s): Gabrielle

Daisy is back for her second Wiener Dog Race after an unforgettable rookie season. In last year’s event, she finished dead last thanks to a strategic decision to stop and greet every human along the course. Today she’s older, wiser, and slightly more aware that this is, in fact, a race. Whether she finishes first or last, she’s already won the award for Friendliest Competitor.

Owner(s): Jaiden

Owner(s): Robyn

Approximately 40% stubbiness, 40% stubbornness, 20% useless-but-cute ears, and 700% audacity. Believes every mysterious noise is a federal investigation requiring immediate, very loud alerts, and that every blanket must be fluffed and nested to absolute perfection. Answers to approximately 67 different names, but will only actually hear you if there's a cheese wrapper involved. Also strange for a dachshund but is everyone’s best friend, especially if you have pepperoni sticks.

Owner(s): Theresa

Zeus lives on a farm and loves to hunt mice and supervise barn chores.  In his down time he enjoys going on car rides and sun bathing.  He's egar to get back to racing after some time off!

Owner(s): Robyn

At just 6 months old, she’s still deciding if you’re a friend or an international threat. Shy by nature but fearless when it comes to leaves, bugs, and barking at things ten times her size. She may be low to the ground, but her attitude is sky-high. She approaches strangers with suspicion, birds with confidence, household rules as mere suggestions… and she’s fully aware of just how adorable she is, using it to her advantage every chance she gets. 

Owner(s): Sue

Gary is a sweet, funny, fast young man! He is unusually well behaved and often gets recognized when we bring him places with us. He loves to play with other dogs and he loves to sprint around the yard to get his energy out. He would be a great competitor!

Owner(s): Kylee

Arlee is the sweetest girl, full of quirky personality, and very unique colour/pattern (Isabella Fawn). She has the very best side eye. She loves being around other fur friends and is incredibly friendly. She loves her mama the best and will run to find her mama whenever she is out of sight. (A skill that could come in handy for a race!)

Owner(s): Katherine

At six years old, Holly is a mini dachshund in peak career mode, full-time garden supervisor, managing a backyard wildlife operation alongside cats and chickens who do not take her seriously enough. She accompanies her humans on all adventures, though she reserves the right to nap through significant portions. Running on one good eye today: if it’s pointed at the finish line, she wins, if it’s not, she’s having a great time anyway. Proud to run in support of dachshund rescue

Owner(s): Patricia

Barry is a 2yr old Long haired dapple weenie. He loves to chase squirrels and the Amazon delivery guy (just kidding). He shares his home with 7 other doggies, including his weenie mama Maggie, little weenie sister Reese and little weenie brother Ren (we are Weensofmagnolia). He all time fave activity is barking at nothing and everything!!

Owner(s): Christen

Lenny is a goofy and playful miniature dachshund with a tail that never stops wagging. He’s the sweetest bundle of joy packed into a tiny (but suuuper long) body! His favourite things on earth are cuddles, his mom, fluffy toys and of course anything edible. While winning would be a bonus, he’s mostly here to have fun and steal a few hearts along the way.

Owner(s): Sidney

Meet Nala!
Nala is a 1.5-year-old crème Dachshund fueled by nervous energy, questionable decision-making, and an overwhelming need to go really fast. She starts out a little shy, but give her five minutes and she'll act like you've been best friends forever.
A proud veteran of the Fort Erie Wiener Dog Races, Nala is always looking to expand her racing résumé and prove that anxiety is, in fact, a performance enhancer. She may be small, but she's got the speed, the heart, and absolutely no off switch.

Owner(s): Tyler

Our little Rue is a sweet little menace (she's almost 6 months)- she's independent but NEEDS to be in your lap if she see's you on the couch (snuggle lover) She's getting very curious and a little mind of her own, and her favourite trick is "tootsie roll" where she does two rolls. She has a big brother (chocolate lab) named Dudley, and is obsessed with him, and needs to be close/licking his mouth at all times! hahah!

Owner(s): Nicholas
