It's that time of year!!!!Mt. McKinley Animal Hospital will be hosting our annual dachshund race at the Tanana Valley State Fair on Saturday, July 27th at 4 pm.
The race is located in the grassy area by the livestock barns. Sign-ups/registration can be done at the Fairgrounds right before the race. We will also create a pre-registration option that will open July 1st.
Arrive between 15-30 mins prior to the race, as it is often busy. This race is limited to dachshunds and dachshund mixes due to their leg size.
Each race participant requires 2 handlers - 1 at each end of the course. There will be multiple race heats depending on the number of participants. Dogs will start at one end (5 racers to a group) and can be lured to the handler at the other end by any means (toys, food, noise makers, etc.).
This is a wonderfully fun and entertaining event that we hold each year at the Tanana Valley State Fair.
This event is open to ALL friendly dachshunds in the community.
The entry fee is a donation towards our Paisley Paws Fund. We are asking a minimum donation of $5 per dog but would accept a donation of any amount. Have you heard of our Paisley Paws fund? This is a non profit fund that assists owners with veterinary care in times of emergency so they can avoid euthanasia or rehoming their pets. Please check out the fund on our website: www.mmahak.com or at www.paisleypaws.org. Donations made directly through our site can be tax deductible.
We will have prizes for the first 25 entries/participants (one per family so we have lots to go around) and a grand prize for the fastest dachshund!
