WELCOME TO DCGB
June 7, 2026
Welcome to the site for the Dachshund Club of Greater Buffalo (DCGB)
We are a very friendly group of Dachshund lovers. We meet six times a year and most meetings allow members to bring their dogs. While we follow guidelines of the Dachshund Club of America and the American Kennel Club, we truly are a group that enjoys our dogs and strive to help members enjoy the breed and maintain healthy dogs. We have a picnic every summer and a party at Christmas time. We offer educational sessions regularly and are always open for questions. We even have several members that do not own dachshunds.
We run a specialty of our breed at the annual Wine Country show in late September at Sampson State Park on Seneca Lake. Several of our members show their animal at the show. DCGB provides prizes and hospitality to all the dachshund exhibitors. We attempt to get all the DCGB members camping together at the park. We do enjoy each others company and try to make the show fun for all.

Below are several links regarding animal legislation. Take the time to look at them. It is so critical that we protect the rights of dog owners and breeders.

I would like to end this message on a positive note. The Dachshund Club of Greater Buffalo is dedicated to the enjoyment of the dachshund breed. It is a breed with a long and distinguished history. Dachshunds embody all that we love about dogs. They have big hearts. They are fearless, diggers, barkers, chewers, clowns, defenders, bed hogs, hunters, best friends, independent and loyal. They prove that some of the best things come in small packages.
If you are interested in joining our club or are looking for a dachshund, please contact any of the officers or board of directors. Any one of us would be pleased to speak with you.
