By Erin Gardner
WAPAKONETA - It isn't easy racing a 30-yard dash with little legs, but two groups of dashing doxins put the pedal to the metal to compete in the inaugural Auglaize County Fair wiener dog races.
The race featured two heats for the two sizes of dachshunds, standard and miniature. The standard averages 16-32 pounds at one year of age, and the miniature normally weighs less than 12 pounds at one year. Each winner received a first-place trophy and $250. [More]
