ELLIE

AGE: 2.5 | WEIGHT: 10 LBS

​

With her long body, fast paws, and sweet, expressive eyes, Ellie has always had a little diva in her—and it’s only grown as she’s grown up.

Since last year’s Dachshund Dash, Ellie has become a big sister to a new baby in the family, and she’s officially stepped into her big-sister era!

When she’s off duty, you’ll find her doing what she loves best: snuggling with Mom & playing fetch with Dad and enjoying her favorite treats—carrots or ice cubes.

Sweet, speedy, and now the seasoned older sibling of the house, Ellie brings heart, charm, and a touch of sass to everything she does.

She’s back for another shot at Dachshund Dash glory—and with her big-sister confidence and determined spirit, don’t be surprised if she dashes her way to first place!

Eloise

AGE: 9 MONTHS | WEIGHT: 7 LBS

​

At just 9 months old and a petite seven pounds, Eloise has already mastered the art of being tiny, fashionable and very much in charge.

Don’t let the bows and pearls fool you. Underneath that perfectly curated wardrobe is a ferocious little hunter with a competitive streak.

When she’s not filming a GRWM, unboxing her latest tiny couture or sharing her closet files, Eloise can usually be found brunching, shopping, traveling in her bag, coordinating outfits with her besties or documenting the demanding life of a miniature dachshund influencer.

She also enjoys digging holes, chasing Mom and Dad and making every outing a social event.

Her Instagram makes one thing clear: tweed, pearls, bows, berets and pink are less of a wardrobe and more of a personal brand. Walking, however, is apparently optional, so whether she’ll make an exception for race day remains to be seen.

HARRISON

AGE: 6 | WEIGHT: 13 LBS

​

Meet Harrison, a wirehaired dachshund whose résumé is considerably more impressive than most humans.

Harrison isn’t just a handsome face. He’s a Grand Champion, Dual Champion, Field Champion, Master Hunt Hound Excellent, Canine Good Citizen Advanced and accomplished trick dog.

He’s also a seasoned professional, with commercial work for Jeep, AT&T, Volkswagen and more under his belt.

When he’s off the clock, Harrison loves racing, swimming, playing ball, lure coursing and field trials. He can retrieve, jump, howl, speak, perform tricks and even steal socks—proof that all that professional training hasn’t completely gone to his head.

Harrison is bringing some serious credentials to the starting line.
The competition has officially been warned.

Favorite hobbies: Racing, swimming, playing ball, lure coursing, field trials, trick training, and stealing socks (and hearts).

OLLIE

AGE: 5 | WEIGHT: 6 LBS

​

With his sleek red coat, soulful brown eyes, and long, athletic build, Ollie has the looks of a champion.

When he’s not curled up being the sweetest snuggler you’ll ever meet, Ollie is hard at work patrolling the yard for birds. He takes his self appointed role as neighborhood bird hunter very seriously (the birds... not so much).

Ollie is the proud brother of Rose and may look calm and collected, but once the race starts, he’ll be chasing glory almost as enthusiastically as he chases feathered friends.

Favorite hobbies: Snuggling, bird patrol, looking ridiculously handsome, and making everyone fall in love with him.

PICKLE

AGE: 7 MONTHS | WEIGHT: 9 LBS

​

With his sleek black and tan coat, expressive brown eyes, and tiny nine pound frame, Pickle may be the youngest racer in the field, but he has a personality that fills the entire park.

Pickle is a joyful little guy who believes every person he meets is a new best friend. Whether he’s asking for belly rubs, chasing his cat siblings around the house, or proudly carrying off something he definitely wasn’t supposed to chew, he approaches life with endless enthusiasm.

Curious is an understatement. Pickle notices absolutely everything, which means staying focused on the race might be his biggest challenge. One moment he’ll be locked in on the finish line, and the next he’ll spot a butterfly, a spectator, or someone willing to give him attention. Will he win the race? Maybe. Will he win over the crowd? Almost certainly.

Favorite hobbies: Chasing his cat siblings, collecting belly rubs, chewing on absolutely everything, making new friends, and being the center of attention.

ROSE

AGE: 8 | WEIGHT: 6 LBS

​

With her tiny wire haired coat, soulful brown eyes, and permanently cheeky expression, Rose may look sweet at first glance, but don’t let that fool you.

At just six pounds, she’s a tiny dog with a very big personality.

Though she’s completely toothless, Rose still isn’t afraid to let everyone know who’s boss. She may not be able to bite, but she’ll happily gum you if you get on her bad side. Her tongue seems to make an appearance in nearly every photo, adding to the charm that makes her impossible not to love.

Rose is the proud sister of Ollie and proves that size means absolutely nothing when it comes to confidence. Whether she’s demanding to be carried on walks, chasing after her favorite ball, or supervising everyone around her, she approaches life with endless determination and just the right amount of sass.

SCOOBY

AGE: 5 | WEIGHT: 11 LBS

​

Meet Scooby, a silky-haired adventurer with a taste for the finer things in life.

Whether he’s paddleboarding with his family, strolling the beach, heading out on a road trip, or making a very important stop for a pup cup, Scooby is always ready to be part of the action.

With his gorgeous multi-colored coat and soulful brown eyes, Scooby certainly knows how to turn on the charm. But don’t let the handsome face fool you. This pup isn’t just here to look pretty. He’s happiest wherever the adventure takes him, especially when his favorite people are along for the ride.

From cozy blankets and coffee runs to snow days and sunsets, Scooby has mastered the art of enjoying the good life. Equal parts snuggler, explorer, and connoisseur of treats, he’s proof that the best adventures are even better when you bring your dachshund.

SPIRIT

AGE: 3 | WEIGHT: 5 1/2 LBS

​

Don’t let the dreamy blue eyes and flowing golden coat fool you. Spirit is all speed and adventure. With his surfer boy good looks and athletic build, this long haired dachshund is one of the fastest pups around.

He has grown out of his puppy stage, but not his zest for life. Whether he’s racing toward the finish line, making new friends, or barking at something only he can hear, Spirit is always ready for his next adventure.

Favorite hobbies: Winning races, chasing anything that moves, exploring new trails, soaking up the sunshine, and convincing everyone that blondes really do have more fun.
