If you’ve ever dreamed of being surrounded by a sea of tiny legs, wiggly tails, and long-bodied cuteness, then Dublin’s Sausage Dog Social is the place to be. This monthly meet-up brings together Dachshunds and their humans for a wholesome gathering filled with zoomies, socialising, and an occasional fashion show (yes, some of these pups rock tiny sweaters).
Dublin is home to many quirky and wonderful things, but one of its cutest hidden gems has to be the Sausage Dog Social—a monthly meet-up for Dachshunds and their humans.
Organised by a group of dedicated Dachshund lovers, the event is open to all who want to join—whether you own a sausage dog yourself or just want to admire them at paw-length distance. The best part? It’s completely free.
What to Expect at a Sausage Dog Social
If you’re picturing a group of dogs running wild in a park, you’re not far off—but there’s a certain charm that makes this event stand out. Dozens of Dachshunds of all shapes, sizes, and personalities come together – and a few show up wearing ridiculously adorable outfits—from tiny knitted jumpers to full-blown stylish fits. Dressed up or not, these little dogs have a way of stealing the show with their big personalities.
While the pups are busy making friends (or, in true Dachshund fashion, ignoring each other completely), their owners get the chance to chat, swap tips, and share the joys and challenges of raising one of the world’s most stubborn, lovable breeds.
When and Where?
The next Sausage Dog Social happen on a monthly basis, with the next one due to happen at the end of February, though the exact date and location are still to be confirmed. Past meet-ups have taken place in various parks around Dublin, so expect an announcement soon on where the next one will be.

Why You Should Go
If you have a Dachshund, it’s a great chance to let them socialise, burn off some energy, and meet other local sausage dogs. Plus, you’ll meet fellow owners who truly understand what it’s like to live with a dog that thinks it’s 10 times its actual size.
Keep an eye on social media for the final details – this is one Dublin event you won’t want to miss. check out Sausage Dog Social Dublin on Facebook and follow Bobby ‘Diva’ Dassler on Instagram—he’s one of the regulars and quite the local celebrity.
