Hamilton’s Cutest Race Is Back: Wiener Dogs Take Over Rhythm & Roam 2025!

If you love dachshunds, live music, and good vibes, then mark your calendar for Saturday, June 28th at 11 AM in downtown Hamilton, MT! Off Leash K9 Training Missoula is excited to be part of the Rhythm & Roam Festival, one of the Bitterroot Valley’s most beloved community events—and yes, the Wiener Dog Races are back and better than ever! 🏁🐾
🐾 What to Expect at the Wiener Dog Races
This isn’t just any dog race. It’s a celebration of all things short and speedy, with categories for both purebred dachshunds and mixed-breed “wannabe wieners.” Whether your pup is a true doxie or just wiener in spirit, there’s a spot at the starting line.
Expect plenty of laughs, adorable competition, and some impressively fast paws flying down the track. It’s a pet-friendly event that draws crowds from all over Missoula, Hamilton, and the Bitterroot Valley—so bring your camp chairs, your sense of humor, and your camera!
🎁 Off Leash K9 Training Is Donating Custom Gift Baskets!
We’re proud to support local events like this one, and to make it even more exciting, Off Leash K9 Training Missoula is donating exclusive custom gift baskets to the winners of both race categories.
