Mila Miesner to race at Del Mar

Mila Miesner has made the top 16 and she will advance to the San Diego final in on where she will race Sunday, September 1st at the Del Mar Race Track. 


She recently got to act in the movie  “Wiener Dog Nationals”.  The Movie ties into the upcoming Wiener Dog races which the movie is based on. She has raced in the dachshund races in San Diego for 5 years coming in the top two or three everytime she has raced at Del Mar. She is also the poster dog for the Races up in Los Alamitos. So even though this Movie is fictitious it is one she can relate to.She got to play Shelly Jack a runt of a dachshund from a shelter a  family adopts and Only time will tell if little 'Shelly' and her new family are up for the challenges of entering the nation's greatest wiener dog race, Wienerschnitzel's 'Wiener Dog Nationals.' 

The movie has been a very big splash in the Dog and Kid world and Mila would like to share this Movie with her Fan. So come down and watch her race  She will have a picture of the cover of the movie with her very own paw print on the back.

Can't wait to see you!
