The cheering crowd held its collective breath at the 23rd annual Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals<\/a> as 10 dachsie finalists raced as fast as their short little legs could carry them toward the finish line. Last year\u2019s winner, Katherine and Eddie Kirshner\u2019s Baby Bo of Newport Beach, became a double-decker doggie champ as he once again took the championship \u201cby 10 sausage-links,\u201d according to Orlando Gutierrez, Marketing Director at Los Alamitos.<\/p>\n

Baby Bo, a 2 \u00bd-year-old black-and-tan dachshund, easily left his rival racers in the dust to win his second championship. Here he is with the Kirshners and a race official. Bo took home a $1,000 cash prize, a trophy and a blanket as well as his second awarded doghouse, which he said he\u2019ll either use as a summer pad or rent out as a bones and breakfast.

The event was held the evening of Saturday, July 21, at the Los Alamitos Race Course. The winners of the 10 qualifying races included Long Beach local mini-maiden hopeful, 1-year-old Bella \u201cScoopski\u201d Evans. The lengthy girl scooted her little buns to the finish line with great relish, with a short pause on her short legs to give her closest competitor a nose-up before crossing the finish line.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone was shocked but so happy that she won!\u201d said Long Beach resident Paula Evans, training assistant to daughter Sara. \u201cA couple of people said they knew she\u2019d get it, but they were hysterical when they watched the video.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Scoopski didn\u2019t win the big prize, Evans said that they were delighted that she\u2019d gotten that far, especially since this was her first time racing. During the championship race, the Evanses had kept their eyes on Baby Bo and the winning tactics that the Kirshners used.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe decided to improve ours to run for a goal instead of watching the other dogs,\u201d Evans said. \u201cShe was actually socializing with the dogs that were running by!\u201d<\/p>\n

The big winners, of course, are the cats and dogs at the Seal Beach Animal Care Center<\/a>. The organization will benefit from the funds raised from ticket and T-shirt sales to the estimated 8,500 people in attendance. The Evans family is eager to have Scoopski participate again and contribute to the well-being and adoption of her hopeful counterparts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t wait to do it again next year!\u201d Evans said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
