SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Dachsunds lined up for a chance at the top prize at his year’s Dog Fest.

The Dachsund Dash is just one of the events at Chesterfield Park.  There was also a canine fitness demonstration, dog park etiquette classes, frisbee playing, and a hunting dog demo.

Dozens of vendors pay to be a part of the event.

Those who enter their dogs also pay a fee, and all that money will help maintain Springfield’s only off-leash dog park.

It costs $25 a year to register your dog at the Cruse Dog Park.  That’s located off Kansas Expressway and Grand.
