We are a fun energetic group who has a true love of dachshunds of all shapes and sizes. We like to get together in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia to share a wealth of information with each other (i.e. good nutrition, training tips, pet sitting, health care providers, etc.). If there's a dachshund (s) in need, our group pulls together and we do whatever it takes to lend a hand. The group is now lead by new organizers Kelly Ann and Tyler. Together with their three loveable dachshunds Norman, Edgar and Alice, we hope to continue to build this group and plan lots of exciting and fun meet ups!

In order for us to get to know each other better, please post a photo and/or tell us a little about yourself and why you're absolutely INSANE about doxies!
