Magdeburg hosts first German dachshund racing competition
Dachshunds compete in the 1st German Dachshund Racing Championships as part of the "Teckelwelt" trade fair. Simon Kremer/dpa The finals of the first German dachshund racing contest were being held in the eastern city of Magdeburg on Sunday, with the sausage dogs induced to run the 40-metre course by means of whistles, toys and treats. A total of 220 dogs were entered for the competition, which started on Saturday.

Different classes are racing, including miniature and other classes, along with the standard breed. The breed is thought to date back to the early 18th century. They may have been bred to hunt badgers, although this is contested.
