Budapest, Hungary (AP) – Teckel crowds strut on Thursday in Hungary while they were trying to recover a record for the biggest market for dogs in the country.
Hundreds of dogs and their owners gathered at Budapest City Park and walked in a long noisy loop in the spring sun. The puppy parade was under the observation of Hungarian Records Association, which was responsible for determining whether the canine cavalcade could officially have entered the records.
ISTVán Sebestyén, registrar and president of the association, said that its organization would carefully total the number of participating dogs-a challenge, he said, when so many dogs and humans have been gathered in the same place.
“We generally do not take dash on mass walks, so this experience must correspond to our rules of rules,” he said.
The dachshots, a short muscle breed with truncated legs, were first raised in Germany and remain one of the most popular dog breeds in Hungary.
Also known as “Wiener dogs” or “sausage dogs” for their long and overwhelming bodies, they were initially high for badger hunting and other fouisse creatures. But their faithful, curious and fun nature also made them popular as pets.
In Munich, Germany, in 1972, an rainbow color called Waldi became the first official mascot in the history of the summer Olympic Games.
Last September, the German city of Regensburg established the current world record for the largest start of Drop dogs while hundreds of race paraded in the medieval city center.
While some counts of Regensburg put the number of dogs at 1,175, Guinness World Records could only confirm 897.
On Thursday, Lili Horváth and his one -year dckhund Zabos participated in the walk in Budapest. She said that her fur friend “has very deeply human qualities and is very faithful, it is really a bomb of love.”
Valeria Fábián, who was walking her Teckel Zsebi, saw him differently.
“Few people are able to give this kind of altruism, because people do not have as much love and self-sacrifice as a dog can give a human,” she said.
At the end of the record march, the Hungarian Records Association determined that 500 Teckels had been present – enough to establish a Hungarian record, but still unless the Guinness brand in Regensburg.
The organizers, not discouraged, promised to try again next year – giving them a lot of time to bring together more mutts for another blow to the title.
