MILA ONE OF 16 DOGS TO QUALIFY FOR THE WIENER NATIONALS

On Saturday, August 20, 2011 Preliminary Races were run at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium. Local Ocean Beach resident Mila Miesner, out of a field of 400+ Dachshunds, qualified along with 16 other dachshunds to compete at The Del Mar Race Track to see who the fastest wiener is in San Diego.

Races ran much of the morning starting at 9am and going on until all doxies had at least 2 attempts at a top time. It was fun to see the doxies race.  some shot out straight as an arrow while others took this time to ham it up for the crowd.

When not racing, or if you were a spectator just needing a break from the cuteness on the race field, you could check out some local rescue groups, shops and radio stations. With none other than the Wienerschnitizal truck selling hot dogs. There was also a large grass area where many of the doxies just got together and socialized.

Participants received fun dachshund t-shirts and tickets to see the top 16 run at Del Mar with the horses.

So if you want to come out to the Del Mar Race track and have some fun with the doxies join us on On Labor Day September 5, where the fastest 16 dachshunds (Who qualified August 20), will compete in the San Diego Finals of the Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals.

Three races will take place on the track in front of the Winners Circle. Two semifinal races will occur after horse races 3 & 5 with the finals occurring after horse race 7.

The Del Mar winner advances to the National final which determines the fastest wiener in the nation.

Don't miss these adorable, free-spirited, low-to-the-ground athletes on their quest for stardom!

My Husband and I put together a little video to help promote the Wiener Nationals in San Diego. This is not official or anything just having some fun with a concept. Check it out and tell me what you think. You can see video and photos of last years events here:  Photos:  Mila Miesner Facebook

Mila made it to the top 10 finalists in her size category!

Admittedly getting dressed up is not my favorite pastime. I would much prefer lure coursing, earth dog, and dachshund racing, not in that particular order, but I like to pose for the camera and I like to do tricks. My mom said I've got a pretty face and I think I would be a great spokes dog for LuvGear clothing. It is great to wear when you go for a walk. Not only does it keep your fur clean. It tells our moms and dads when we get too hot; the indicator on the outfit tells you. This is great because you know down at my level it can easily be many degrees hotter than it is for our mom or dads when were walking.

So Please Vote For Me !!!!   So I can be the doggy spokes and clothing model for Small Breed- LuvGear

Please Vote For Me !!!!

 I am currently in 3rd please help.

Vote for Mila here: www.luvgearcontest.com/small-breed


Dogs can’t sweat easily and cool down quickly in hot weather. This is why LuvGear is promoting their TempAlert technology that alerts dog owners to help prevent heat exhaustion and heat stroke. French Bulldogs are prone to over heating and extra care needs to be taken to keep this breed cool in warm weather. For that reason, we think Quigley would be the perfect spokesmodel for this particular product. The voting period ends Monday, July 25th, so don’t wait and vote for Quigley today!

The dog with the most votes in each category will be crowned LuvGear’s top dog.

• Prizes: The Winner Gets Braggin’ rights - plus, the winning dog from each category gets the following:
  • One-on-one face time with lifestyle pet photographer Seth Casteel, owner of Little Friends photography.
  • The select photo will grace the covers of a nationwide promotion for Planet PETCO™ with LuvGear™ Technology. 
  • Nationwide promotion as LuvGear’s top dog for Planet PETCO™ with LuvGear™ Technology.
  • Planet PETCO™ with LuvGear™ Technology gift package.
