Biggest doxie event

Speaking to Mothership, 26-year-old Ng Rui Sin said this is one of the biggest Dachshund event that she knows of so far.

The gathering started as an impromptu idea within Ng's Telegram group, where 18 pawrents RSVP-ed their attendance by June 8.

This number grew to over 50 respondents by the time June 18 drew nearer.

Ng was blown away by the overwhelming turnout on the event day itself, where more than 100 wiener dogs attended the sausage fest, alongside other breeds such as poodles and border collies.

Those interested can join community

While there are no immediate plans for another large-scale gathering soon, Ng said many of the owners hope to meet for International Doxie Day next year.

Dachshund owners can arrange playdates and attend events with other sausage dog owners by joining the local doxie community on Facebook.

Bonus good doggos
