Hundred races in Großköchlham: A festival for the whole family!

What a spectacle: On Whit Monday, the 46th time in a row, the traditional dog race took place in Großköchlham. Organized by the Großköchlham shooting club, the event was a real highlight that brought the community together and showed Bavarian culture in full bloom. Brightly blue sky and sunny weather created the perfect backdrop for the numerous spectators who had come to cheer on the animal participants.

The dogs showed their skills in three different classes on a race track of around 120 to 200 meters: small, medium and large class. The competition was great, and so the owners and mistresses were feverish with their protégés - with calls, whistles and treats they tried to optimally motivate their dogs. The event not only captivated with the exciting races, but also with the variety of participants and their different behaviors. Some dogs ran seriously, while others curiously sniffed off the audience or distracted themselves with other four -legged friends. Merkur reports of this colorful atmosphere and emphasizes the successful organization by the shooting club.

award ceremony and culinary highlights

The winners were duly celebrated at the end of the day. Dominik Schinke and his dog Lucky won in a small class in a time of 13 seconds. Zeno Hötscher was able to achieve a time of 10.9 seconds with Milo in the middle class, while Stefan Glasauer with Layla won the large class confidently with 9.7 seconds. A great success for the participants who had prepared intensively with their dogs.

Not only the races attracted the visitors. The culinary offer left nothing to be desired: sausages, steaks, cheese plates, pretzels, cakes and tarts made the festival a successful Bavarian experience. The beer benches were filled in the afternoon, the cake tent offered a large selection of treats, which gave further upswing to the festival character of the event. Süddeutsche.de emphasizes that the event was part of the Pentecost program and attracted many visitors.

an integral part of the Bavarian tradition

The dog race in Großköchlham is not only a fun for dog lovers, but also shows the deeply rooted Bavarian tradition in dealing with animals and common festivals. While in winter the fascination of dog sled races can be felt in the Bavarian winter landscapes, the four -legged friends in the colorful summer event enjoy such warm days. Bayerischer Wald reports of the internationally popular sled dog races that underline the variety of dog sports in this country.

In summary, it can be said: The event has once again shown how important community and traditional customs are in everyday life. The shooting club is already planning the next edition of the race for the coming year, which ensures the anticipation for another exciting event in Großköchlham.
