| The Metropolitan Washington Dachshund Club MWDC was founded on September 7, 1955 to organize Dachshund fanciers of the Metropolitan Washington DC area for the purpose of encouraging and promoting the breeding of purebred Dachshunds and to do all possible to bring their natural qualities to perfection. This site is maintained to provide information on our club and its activities and to promote the health and welfare of purebred Dachshunds in general. |
| The purpose of our club is: • To urge members and breeders to accept the standard of the breed as adopted and promulgated by the Dachshund Club of America and approved by the American Kennel Club as the only standard of excellence by which Dachshunds shall be judged. • To do all in its power to protect and advance the interests of the breed by encouraging sportsmanlike competition at dog shows, obedience trials and field trials. • To conduct sanctioned and licensed specialty shows, obedience trials and field trials under the rules of the American Kennel Club. |
| MWDC has hosted three Dachshund Club of America National Specialty Shows. The first in 1977, the second in 1982 and the third in 1999. This club is a member of the Dachshund Club of America, Region VI. |
| Welcome and enjoy your visit to our site! |
| MWDC welcomes any Dachshund fancier into its membership. Please feel free to contact Cathy Kelly of our Membership Committee for more information about our club and how to join. |
