Welcome to the surprisingly cutthroat world of competitive wiener dogs, a world that boasts healthy dachshunds and rabid owners. Unleash the truth as we track America's sexiest and fastest weenies on the professional dachshund circuit. risscross the continent and get the inside scoop on what makes these champion dogs and their colorful owners tick as we visit dachshund races, field trials, hilarious “earthdog” competitions, and the Westminster dog show. Candid interviews with the world’s top showdog personalities give us a crash course in wiener dog politics, and a glimpse into the divisive controversies that have long dogged the dachshund community.

This was a cute little film, and a nice diversion from the usual type of documentaries that I see at film fests. It definitely doesn't take itself too seriously (although how can you when the subject is weenie dogs?). A lot of lines were very much like "Best in Show" - but were funnier since they were unscripted. I still suspect that some of this was made up - these people can't be real! The screening I attended was packed, and the audience seemed to connect with the characters (there was an audible groan when one of the pups dies). A fun film with equal parts education and fun. Audio was a bit rough in places so I give it a 4.5, otherwise I would have given it a five.
