Seattle welcomed more than 140 dogs and their owners to the World Canine Freestyle Organization national championships this weekend. The dance critic of Seattle’s Post Intelligencer wrote: “The dogs did all kinds of dances, occasionally suggesting a recognized form of social dancing. But it was most often ‘freestyle,’ meaning anything goes as long as owner and dog are in tandem.

Photos can be found by clicking on the featured galleries on the right. Since there are no dachshunds, we recommend instead this charming YouTube classic of Emily and Henrietta the dancing Doxie.

Wiener Takes All is a new dogumentary about Dachshund racing, which exploded in popularity after the broadcast of a 1993 Miller Lite commercial that showcased the sport as a joke. Since then the races have grown into very serious business, with major sponsorships and Wiener Nationals held annually in San Diego. The owners of competing pets pour as much time and energy into their Dachshund sprinters as any Football Dad does on his athlete kids

Variety, known as the Hollywood bible, says there are great moments in the movie but overall it feels a little stretched. Stretched — get it?

Here’s a trailer

Two-year-old Jack runs so quickly that organizers of wiener dog races demanded his papers to make sure he was 100% Dachshund and not some kind of Greyhound hybrid.

Jack recently qualified for one of the biggest doxie dog races in Southern California, to be waged Oct. 25 at halftime of a Los Angeles Lakers-Utah Jazz pre-season game in San Diego.

While Jack trains by chasing balls, Alfie keeps in shape by going after Rottweilers.
