Fun facts about Dachshunds and the Westminster Kennel Club Show #WKCDogShow —

 

  • The Westminster Kennel Club was established in 1877. Smooth Dachshunds have participated in its famous benched dog show every year since its inception. The first appearance of a Wirehaired Dachshund occurred in 1930, the first by a Longhaired Dachshund in 1931.

 

  • Group competition has been held at Westminster since 1924. Best in Show has been awarded since 1907 (except for 1923).  A Dachshund has won the Hound Group at Westminster Kennel Club on nine occasions, but no Dachshund has ever gone BIS there.

 

  • Only 6 Hound Group winners have ever won BIS at Westminster. The first was the legendary Afghan CH Shirkhan of Grandeur in 1957. The last was 15-inch Beagle CH Tashtins Lookin for Trouble in 2015.

 

  • No miniature Dachshund has ever won the Hound Group at Westminster.

 

  • 2019’s Hound Group winner GCHP DC Walmar-Solo’s OMG SL JE is the first Dual Champion of any breed to win a group at Westminster.

 

  • When the American Kennel Club created the group system in May 1905, Dachshunde (the plural form of Dachshund in German) were assigned to the Sporting Group. There were only two other groups at that time, Non-Sporting and Terrier. In 1913, the number of groups was reduced to just two as the terriers were parceled out into the Sporting and Non-Sporting groups depending on each breed’s purpose. In 1923, the number of groups expanded to five — Sporting, Non-Sporting, Terrier, Working, and Toy. Under this new system, Dachshunds were moved to the Working Group.  In 1930, the American Kennel Club split the Sporting Group in two thus creating the modern Hound Group. Dachshunds joined the sight and scent hounds from the old Sporting Group in this new group which debuted for the first time at the 1930 Westminster Kennel Club show.

 

  • From 1930 through 1942, all three Dachshund coat varieties were shown as a single breed with very few Longhaired or Wirehaired specimens in competition. Since 1943, Dachshunds have been shown in three separate varieties with each variety winner advancing to the Hound Group competition.
