Join us for a fun day filled with activities for dachshunds, small dogs, locals, and visitors alike.
Set against the picturesque backdrop of Henley Park, on the banks of Lake Wallace, Edenhope, the festivities kick off at 9 am with our market offering an array of dog and human merchandise for you to check out.
If you're interested in showcasing your goods, stall bookings are available for just $15 each. There will be plenty of hot takeaway food and coffee available throughout the day. And don't forget to pack water and a bowl for your furry friend's hydration needs. For your own comfort, consider bringing along chairs and other essentials.
The official program starts at 10:15 am with the dog show featuring entertaining events like Smartest on Parade, Golden Oldies, and Fancy Dress.
After lunch, get ready for the highlight of the day: the dachshund races, complete with heats and a final showdown among the heat winners. But the fun doesn't end there! We have something for every small dog enthusiast, including the non-dachshund race, The Small Breed Open, catering to dogs under 30cm at the shoulder/wither. And back by popular demand is The Dackel Dash!
Also back for an encore is the Hobby Dachshund race for kids!!
For those arriving early, join us on Saturday evening for the annual Dackel Dinner and PJ party at Lake Wallace Hotel (Edenhope) where dogs are welcome, starting from 6 pm in the beer garden. Dress in your comfiest PJs and bring your dachshunds along for a night of warmth and camaraderie.
Mark your calendars and don't miss out on the excitement of the Day of the Dackel. We look forward to seeing you here!
