Wiener Dog Nationals is a 2013 American family comedy film on DVD, directed by Kevan Peterson.
A little boy and his family adopt a runt of a dachshund from a shelter and name her “Shelly,” in honour of shelter dogs everywhere. Despite all odds, the dog surprises the boy's father when it places in the state trials of the illustrious Wiener Dog Nationals Race. The family pulls all of its resources to advance to the next round only to face strong opposition from the reigning champion dog, Princess and her owner Ms. Merryweather. Meanwhile, Melanie, one of the racing judges, is banned from the races by the head Judge when she tries to help the family prove that Ms. Merryweather is cheating. Relying only on the dog's skill and her young owner's passion for the race, little Shelly and her new family must face the challenge of advancing through the cut throat world of the nation's greatest wiener dog race, Wienerschnitzel's “Wiener Dog Nationals.” One Race, One Nation, One Wiener!
