HAWAII WIENER DERBY

Sorry the 2009 Hawaii Wiener Derby happened
on May 23rd! Please join us next year for the
2010 2nd Annual Hawaii Wiener Derby!

Rules and Regulations

  1. Must be a Wiener Dog. – This does not mean they have to be AKC registered.  If it looks like a wiener it will be considered a wiener. (some SMALL mixed-breed dachshunds are accepted - decision is up to the Judges.)
  2. Please be sure your dog has had all required shots for its own protection.
  3. Please, no bitches in heat on the premises. Let them stay home for their own safety. 
  4. No food (human or dog) is allowed in immediate race  area. Owners can have their favorite toy to help motivate their dog.
  5. All dogs must be on a leash and will be asked to leave if unruly. Please keep your pet on a leash in the outdoor area at all times until it is your turn to race.
  6. Owners are required to cleanup their dog’s accidents. Plastic bags available.
  7. Dogs should be on their best behavior (i.e. no fighting or biting). 
  8. Only two handlers in the race area per dog - one at start and one at finish line. Each dog must be accompanied by 2 people - owner and helper - to load dog into the racing chute. If you need someone to help you, let us know and we will ask the crowd or get one of our staff members to assist you.
  9. Races will be run in heats with the winners of each heat racing against the other heat winners. 
  10. No dogs not involved in the race are permitted within the race area.

  14. All dogs must be at least 4 months of age or older and have had their current boosters!
  15. Absolutely NO throwing your dog on to the track. 
  16. DO NOT LEAVE ANY ANIMALS IN YOUR CAR!! Event staff will have the right to involve the proper authorities if we feel an animal is at risk; you might want to bring your pet's travel kennel and water.

    OUR MOST IMPORTANT RULE

    DON'T TAKE YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY!!

  17. Have Fun! This is an event to allow Wiener Dog fans to get together and laugh at our silly little (and sometimes not so little) guys! Please take a lighthearted approach at these events; we all want to have fun whether we are a Wiener, Winner, or both!!!
