Keystone Dachshund Races

Keystone Dachshund Races (KDR) was created to promote dachshund racing as a fun gathering for doxie lovers and a way to raise money for charitable organizations. KDR is located in South-Central Pennsylvania. The first Races were held in June, 2009, at Bella Vista Training Center in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania (near Gifford Pinchot State Park). The 2009 Races were a smashing success, with over 100 dogs racing. Proceeds from the Races benefit Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue (CCDR), a National Non-Profit 501(c)(3), all-volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing needy Dachshunds and Dachshund mixes from coast to coast. Visit the CCDR website at: http://c2cdr.org. Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue will have a booth at the races with information about our rescue & available dogs, along with dachshund fund raising items. NEW this year: we will have our dachshund-sized Weinermobile available for digital pictures for a $5 donation. NEW THIS YEAR: You have a choice to race your Doxie to benefit a human cause: Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). When you fill out your Registration Form, note the total number of heats you want your dog to run, then choose how many heats you want to run for CCDR, and how many for PKD. The Keystone Dachshund Races are modeled after the National Dachshund Races, founded by Toni Gossard. Visit the National Dachshund Race website at http://www.weinerrace.com. This year's races will start at noon and go to no later than 6pm. The races are located at the Bella Vista Training Center, 730 Mt Airy Rd, Lewisberry, PA 17339.
