Welcome to the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue Virtual Dog Show!
This contest is open to purebred Dachshunds or Dachshund mixes only.
There will be nine classes you'll be able to enter your dog(s) in:

How this works
- Enter your dachshund(s) in their appropriate class for a chance to win prizes and awards. Each entry is $5.00 and you can enter multiple dogs, or the same dog in multiple classes. For instance, if your dog is three years old and you want to enter it in its age class but you also want to enter it in the "just plain cute" class and the costume class, you can enter it in each class. That would be three entries and the cost would be $5.00 for each class - $15 total. Each entry is made separately. Go to each entry page you want to enter and click the button for the class you want enter. On each entry page there are suggestions on how to make your picture stand out and be a good one to enter. The dogs are NOT judged by the same standard as a true dog show. They will not be judged according to the dachshund standard and will not be judged on conformation. What will be judged is how well you present your dachshund in a picture. Is the picture a nice, clear, well presented picture? Does the picture have a nice background and is not cluttered? Does the picture show the personality of your dog? You want to wow the judges with a very nice picture that makes your dog say "I am a winner!" Also see What makes a good picture. There are examples of great images and also examples of pictures that show what "not" to send if you want to win.
- The first six classes are eligible for the Best in Show winner. (Puppies up to one year, dogs 1 and up to 4 years, dogs 4 and up to 8 years, seniors 8 and up to 12 years, SUPER seniors 12 years and older and handicapped dogs.) The last three classes, mixed, "just plain cute" and costume will be judged and the winner of each class will receive a prize, but those last three classes will not be included for judging for the Best in Show prize.
- Make sure the image you submit is the best you have of your dog. We are judging on creativity, clarity and how nice you make your dog look. Take a number of photos and choose the best. Remember, you'll be competing against many other dogs so you want your dog to stand out and catch the eye of the judges.
- The Mixed class, the "Just Plain Cute" class and the "Costume class" will have it's own winner but won't compete for Best in Show. The first place winner of those three classes will be awarded a prize.
- Prizes will be awarded to the class winners and Best in Show receives a special prize.
