Race Rules
- Races are assigned at random and the number of dogs in each heat will be based on number of entries.
- The first place dachshund in each heat will advance to the finals.
- Each dachshund will need two handlers to race - one at the starting line as the “releaser” and one at the finish line as the “catcher.”
- You may bring your dog’s favorite toy as an incentive at the finish line. Items not allowed: “loud” noise toys or objects, laser pointers, “human food” (small treats okay).
- Winners of heats and advancement is the decision of the finish line judge.
