For the last eighteen years, dachshund owners have come to Buda to pit their canine companions in a foot race. WATCH the races! http://atxne.ws/1GABixF See more photos: http://atxne.ws/1OYEgeo | Austin American-Statesman

Did you know there are wiener dog races in Alabama? 🐶 Good Dog Bar and Park in downtown Birmingham held a weenie dog race and meetup earlier this month uniting dogs and humans alike! Wiener dogs, also known as dachshunds, originated in Germany as hunting dogs. Don't let their short legs fool you! Dachshunds can run suprisingly fast. In 2020, the fastest dachshund in the country, Nugget, had an average speed of almost 22 miles per hour. #thisisalabama #birminghamalabama #birminghamal #dachshunds
