Sausage dogs gather for Kent Dachshunds Christmas party
14:00, 21 December 2015
This is the moment almost 150 sausage dogs in fancy dress and Christmas jumpers joined their owners for a festive knees-up.
The Kent Dachshunds club, which has close to 1,000 members in its Facebook group, organised the quirky event for the second year.
A tombola, refreshments and a number of games kept everyone entertained at the Willow Farm Equestrian Centre in Ospringe, Faversham, where the pooches gathered dressed in a range of costumes from fire engines to elves.

Almost £500 was raised and will be shared out between four separate charities - Last Chance in Edenbridge, South East Dog Rescue, Beacon Animal Rescue and Redwood Dog Rescue.
One of the organisers Lisa Stevens said: “I would like to thank everyone in Kent Dachshunds.
“They never fail to step up to the plate and it is very much appreciated.

“It was a fantastic event.
“A great Christmas party.”
