\"\"Ammo the Dachshund<\/a> has his VERY FIRST performance tomorrow at the Keystone Dachshund Races<\/a>. I don’t know if he’s nervous, but I’m nervous for him. We’ve been nonstop practicing his tricks all week, and I think he’s pretty prepared. Ammo is a little bit on the shy side (although you would never guess if you follow along in his adventures on Facebook), so it will be a big surprise to everyone what he decides to do as the center of attention in a crowd of Dachshunds.<\/p>\n

I’m pretty confidant he will know just what to do! (or at least I hope!) During his performance Ammo will also be creating one of his original scratch art pieces which we will be auctioning off to benefit the Coast-to-Coast Dachshund Rescue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Oh and not to forget Ammo will also be racing! Last year’s performance<\/a> was a little bit embarrassing for him, but in his defense he was only about 8 months old, and he had no clue what he was doing. This year he’s a year older, and a year more confident. Not to mention he passed his level one training class and he’s nearing completion of his level two training. I’m so proud of him!<\/p>\n

If you are in the area tomorrow be sure to stop by the races (even if you aren’t owned by a Dachshund), its sure to be a good time, and the profits benefit a good cause.\"\"<\/p>\n
