More than 100 dachshunds sprint in Munich’s annual race
More than 100 dachshunds raced at the fourth Munich Dachshund Race in Germany over the weekend, sprinting 40 metres as spectators cheered. The event offers a lively gathering for dog-lovers and has expanded considerably since it began.
Dogs competed in different weight classes, with owners encouraging them at the finish using treats and toys. Organisers say entries have grown from 30 to 150; dachshunds were originally bred to hunt badgers and small game, while older dogs may slow down with age or joint and spinal problems.
