The West of England Dachshund Association,

Its Officers and Committee.

Our Association was formed in 1946 to encourage the ownership, exhibition and breeding of top quality dachshunds in the counties of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset and Gloucestershire.

We hold two Dachshund Shows each year, usually in Bridgwater, Somerset; one in April and the second in October. Every third year, the next being in 2011, our April Show becomes a Championship Show where three of the six Dachshund breeds are offered Kennel Club Challenge Certificates, and this Show is held at Weston-Super-Mare.

Our Fun Day in Devon every other Summer is a light-hearted social occasion at a lovely outdoor venue, where pet dachshunds and owners can really enjoy themselves without anyone getting too serious. Just have a look at some of the the photos!

We have a General Meeting of Members each year in March, where all members are welcome to come along and let the Officers, Committee and other Members have their views on what our Association has achieved during the past year, and to offer suggestions as to what it might try to do in the future. The A.G.M. is preceded by an excellent lunch, which gives everyone an opportunity to chat with old friends and to meet new people (but of course the main topic of conversation is always "Dachshunds"!)
