- It takes TWO humans to handle ONE doxie in the Doxie Races! If you're racing, you need TWO humans!
- NO "extendy" (retractable) leashes - use your short 5 or 6 ft. fixed-length leashes, please!
- Mind your doxie's manners! Keep control of your "kids" - fluffy & otherwise - at ALL times!

Dexter was a very special foster doxie who came to us from Ramona Humane Society (San Jacinto, CA) through Janet
Maxwell at Riverside Dachshund Rescue & Sanctuary. Dexter was left in RHS' night drop and was obviously
suffering from a neurological disorder that prevented him from walking - all his limbs worked, just not in unison.
He could get up on his own, stagger a few steps, but then would fall over on his side - sometimes "running in
place" with frustration. Over time in foster he got stronger and better on his feet, sometimes taking up to 20
steps before falling over. He could actually "chase" our other doxies and play with them! He had some
great days, but also some seizures and setbacks. This 10/2/2009 YouTube video shows Dexter at about his best! With a generous medical grant from the national Almost Home Dachshund Rescue Society (AHDRS), Dexter received the best medical care including a brain MRI and spinal fluid tap to try to diagnose his neurological disorder. He was finally diagnosed with "Caudal Occipital Malformation Syndrome", or COMS, which is a birth defect where the skull grows into the brain. We were planning for a life-saving surgery in New York City, but despite our best efforts and Dexter's unbreakable spirit, he took a turn for the worse in mid October and eventually passed away on October 29th, 2009. We will NEVER forget our little Dexter. He never got to run with the Doxies here on Earth, so, today we run in memory of our beloved little Dexter, in our "Dexter's Derby" dachshund races!!! |
