Tootsie was declared winner of that race, putting one more notch in his collar. The Championship Race followed the trials and featured the 10 little winners. Eager-beaver-colored Darcy broke out of the gate before the bell and was schlepped back inside; characteristically speaking, she handily won the championship. Her proud parents, Bankers Hill, California, residents Julie and Anthony Woods, took home the $1,000 prize, a non-chewable glistening trophy, and a doghouse with the Wienerschnitzel logo that she immediately made herself comfortable in.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-49631\" src=\"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/2016_Wienerschnitzel_Wiener_Nationals_Champion_Darcy.jpg\" alt=\"2016 Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals Champion Darcy\" width=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-49632\" src=\"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/2016_Wienerschnitzel_Wiener_Nationals_Champion_Darcy_and_finalists.jpg\" alt=\"2016 Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals Champion Darcy and finalists\" width=\"640\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Woodses, left of dog house, in the Winner&#8217;s Circle group shot, with winners of all trials.

Their owner died, and they went to stay with relatives until a more permanent arrangement could be made. The relatives contacted the breeder that sold Darby and Margie as puppies 7 years ago, but they had no provision for taking their dogs back. However, the breeder contacted SCDR, and asked us if we could help these two sweet sisters. We wholeheartedly accepted.\u00a0These two get along fine with other dogs but would be best in a home with no children. It\u2019s unknown how they react to cats. Because of a lack of activity in their former home, they look like stuffed sausages, but with exercise and a proper diet, they should be diet franks in no time. They\u2019re spayed and current on shots.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-49636\" src=\"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Snoop.jpg\" alt=\"Snoop\" width=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Snoop <\/strong>is a neutered senior male, 11 years old.

He\u2019d been rescued from a shelter and adopted by a family who returned him after his paralysis made it difficult to care for him. He\u2019s crate trained for indoors. He\u2019s not a good candidate for an apartment or a condo because his bark is loud and close neighbors would not be happy. His best living condition would be a private residence with no stairs and a backyard so he can continue to sharpen his hunting skills and regain strength in his legs. Sammy is making progress, too. He can stand unaided, and can even take a few steps. He still needs his wheels, but spends most of his time standing on all fours, and walking using the cart for balance. Rescue volunteers predict he won\u2019t need it much longer.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-49638\" src=\"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Fritz_ACS.jpg\" alt=\"Fritz ACS\" width=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s hard to pass up this adorable mix at Long Beach Animal Care Services, 7700 East Spring Street.
