Dachshund Race Results
This October 18th, 2008, Benning Animal
Hospital and Fort Benning Animal Clinic did
something really special. We had our very
first Dachshund race.
"Your Dachshund" and Toy Breeds under 10
pounds were cordially invited to participate
in our "October Fest" 1st Annual Dachshund
Races. We had over 150 people attend, and
over 70 dogs! We gave out free hot dogs
from Cook's Hotdogs, drinks, chips, candy
and other foods courtesy of Webster
Veterinary Supplies. We gave out chapstick,
handsanitizers, Puppy Manuals, and other
goodies, while enjoying a beautiful sunny
day!
There were fantastic demonstrations of dog
obedience by Jerry Barnes, laser therapy
demonstrations, Novartis animal rehab
movies, Purina Dog Food and weight loss
demos, Arthritis and your pet sessions, and
many other educational events. During
National Pet Wellness Month, we had lots of
people learn how to improve their pets lives,
and theirs as well. Novartis provided large
trophies for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places, while
Webster donated 6 months of flea control
for 2nd place winners. Thank you all for
participating and contributing! The Cook's
Hotdogs were delicious, and the shade from
the tents from Vance Memorial Chapel was
welcome on our sunny day. Finally thanks to
Silver Run Baptist Church for loaning us the
chairs and tables for the events.

How fast are
Dachshunds?
This October 18th, 2008, at
Benning Animal Hospital we
had an 80 ft race track, and we
tested them against some
willing humans (under 4 feet)
Our fastest Kid ran in 3.0
seconds. That's 18 mph!
Dylan (14 yr old boy) 3.0 sec
Cody (8 yr old boy) 3.2 sec
Alexis (6 yr old girl) 3.5 sec
Caleb (4 yr old male) 3.6 sec
Our fastest Dachshund "Jever"
ran in 3.3 seconds. or 16.5 mph
Our fastest Chihuahua ran in
3.0 seconds. 18 mph.
So the next time you tell your
child to go get the dog, make
sure they are fast enough to
catch him!
