The Low-Rider Rumble

Hold onto your leashes—because when dachshunds hit the track, it’s all speed, sass, and short legs flying! Watch Miami’s favorite long-and-low pups wiggle, wiggle, wiggle their way down the lane in a hilarious burst of tiny paws and big determination.

From the starting whistle to the photo-finish nose boops, this Low-rider Rumble is guaranteed to get the crowd cheering and laughing. Costumes encouraged (yes, hot dog buns are welcome!) and prizes for fastest pup, best dressed, and most dramatic finish.

It’s pure joy on four stubby legs—only at The Big Woof Festival!
