Adorable ‘Weiner Dog Races’ to Bring Lots of Smiles to Colorado
LovelandCalling all Colorado dachshund owners: Your chance at a great day of being proud of your fast dog, and the shot at free beer has arrived.
One of the great things about "Weiner Dog" races, is that they're not only fun to be a part of, but they're (almost) more fun to just watch. We all have that chance coming up on Saturday, September 16, 2023, in Loveland.
There will be more than a few things happening at this Oktoberfest celebration going on at Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery at The Promenade Shops at Centerra, but many will be looking forward to the "Dachshund Fun-Run Races."

Is it that they're so small? Is it those floppy ears flapping in the wind as they hurry to their destination? Is it the cheers of the crowd? There are more than a few reasons why these kinds of races are so much fun.
Another part of these "Weiner Dog Races" is you get to hear the great names that their humans have given them.
