World Dachshund Day, (June 22nd which is the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere and longest in the North) is a celebration of all things dachshund.
Dachshund fans and their dachshunds join together at various fun events around the world.
The day has been created to raise awareness of the breed and help preserve its future.
In addition to the unique level of fun that only a large gathering of dachshunds can provide, we hope owners can work together to help reduce the number of dachshunds requiring rehoming through education and improved legislation.
Prospective owners are encouraged to attend a local event and learn if being owned by a dachshund is right for you.
We encourage all attendees to make a gold coin donation to their local dachshund rescue.
Please contact us if you want us to advertise an event in your area.
World Dachshund Day is a project of Dachshund Rescue Australia, a not for profit association, which helps rehome dachshunds all across Australia.
