Hallo-Wiener 2010

The Las Vegas Hot Diggity Dachshund Club & Rescue annual fundraiser

Hallo-Wiener 2010 will soon be upon us and we’re already starting to spread the word. The event will be held Saturday October 9th, 11am-3pm and located at the Kellogg-Zaher Sports Complex and Dog Park in the Summerlin area.

Our event is at a  fabulous time of the year in Las Vegas where the heat drops yet the sun still shines. Last year there were 600 attendees at  Hallo-Wiener all enjoying our famous Hallo-Wiener costume contest and wiener races, both are very popular attractions.

This year we’re working hard to get ss many vendors as possible to attend this super fun time. Each year we aim to raise more funds than the previous year and we do that through event sponsorship, vendors, raffles, and admission to the event.  All ways in which you can participate are very reasonable. Please take a look at last year’s video courtesy of 100.5 Jack FM who were our sponsorlast year and once again we are delighted to say they are sponsoring our 2010 event.

It’s easy to see why our event is so popular.

Solve The “I Won’t Pee In The Rain” Problem

I thought this was a funny product yet if it works it really solves a problem. It’s the puppy port-a- potty designed to give your dog protection from the rain and allow him to pee.  Take a look I think it’s easy to grasp what it’s about. Do you think your dog would use it?

The First Rescue – Cheers!

Barbara our Rescue Director has been rescuing Doxies for over 3 years with Las Vegas Hot Diggity Dog Club & Rescue and her first rescue was Dolly Madison. This is her story.

Dolly was a puppy and she came in. She was 15 weeks old. Her name was originally Zelda. I asked if she was Zelda Fitzgerald or something like it. The owner said ” NO!! we named her after a kick ass video game!” (Zelda warrior princess). I couldn’t have her named after a video game and I didn’t like the name Zelda, so I called her Dolly Madison.

She was adorable, a real little love bug. The owners had to give her up as he was in the military and heading off to war and she was going to live with her parents, but her parents would not let her bring the dog.

So she came into my home (into Foster Care) we did not have any foster homes then – it was just Leilani and I so we were limited on the number of dogs that we could take then.

Before she went out for adoption I needed to train her on how to use the doggy door and she learned with beer!!
My sister and brother-in-Law came down from Canada and I said to them that “I have to get this puppy trained on the doggy door”.
I got up one morning and walked into the kitchen and my brother-in-law, who was about 6 foot 4 inches tall, was laid on the floor by the doggy door and my sister was standing outside. She said to him – “call her now – call her now” The strange thing was, they had a glass of beer in their hands?!
I stood there a little shocked and said, laughing. “You can’t train a dog with beer!” They said ” Look!! Its working”
They called her through the doggy door and each time she went through she took a little sip of the beer.
I wouldn’t have believed it, a beer drinking Doxie.
I am thinking that we should have changed her name to Bud

Happy Ending:
One of the directors that was working with us, was looking for a dog, and she ended up adopting her. She decided to drop the name Dolly and just called her Madison. I see her quite often and I still call her Dolly Madison and she remembers. She is always really happy to see me which is wonderful and has a playmate now called Oscar.
