Metro Atlanta Dachshund Meet-up Group (MAD MUG)
is a growing group of dachshund enthusiasts. We meet once a month for "play dates", socializing and networking.
Our mission is to continue membership growth by promoting our great group to others we come into contact. We also want to give back to the community through various philanthropic activities.
By joining MAD MUG, your benefits are endless! You will meet and socialize with people from all walks of life while sharing our common goal and interests: DACHSHUNDS! It's all about the dachshund!
National Dachshund Races
Toni Gossard - Founder, National Dachshund Races
SANCTIONED BY THE I.W.D.R.F.
The National Dachshund Races are PROUDLY sanctioned by: The IWDRF (International Wiener Dog Racing Federation)
Now that the 2010 year is behind us we look forward to a VERY EXCITING 2011! We will have circuit races throughout the country that will make The National Dachshund Races the KING of all race events. Our goal is to STOP the poorly run Dachshund Races that are held in areas of this country that unfortunately ARE geared for profit and NOT the safety of our fine companions!
Thank you for being a part of The National Dachshund Races and we look forward to seeing you at all of our events in 2011!
Shane MacDougall from "Wiener Takes All" (A Dogumentary) supports our fine event. We are Grateful and Proud of this! Quote - "From 2004 to 2007 I shot a documentary about the world of dachshund racing in placecountry-regionAmerica. Of all the events that I encountered on my journey across the nation, - and I encountered quite a few, Toni Gossard's stands out as an example of an event where the dog's health and comfort are a top priority".

DREAM Dachshund Rescue
We are an all-donation supported, all-volunteer rescue for dachshunds and dachshund mixes. We focus on dogs and homes in our geographical area - Atlanta, North Georgia, and Savannah.
There are thousands of rescue groups in the U.S., and probably a hundred focused on dachshunds. We still cannot save them all. The problem is too large: too many breeders, too many petstores, too many puppymills. Where you get your next dog matters. Do the math.
Georgia Dachshund Races
The Georgia Dachshund Races is an annual event to help support DREAM Dachshund Rescue. We are voluntees. The Georgia Dachshund Races is hosted by the Metro Atlanta Dachshund Meetup Group.
Proceeds from the Races go directly to
DREAM Dachshund Rescue,
a nonprofit 501-c3 group.
The Georgia Winners will be invited to race for the
National Dachshund Races Championship.
We do not promote racing for profit, only the thrill of the excitement to watch your Doxie participate in challenging other Doxies. Please enjoy yourself at all events you go to and make sure you and your Doxie stay safe!
