The Wirehaired Dachshund Club was founded in July 1927 with Sir Charles Lambe as Chairman, originally for owners and intending owners of Wire Haired Dachshunds only.
They sponsered two classes, Open Dog and Open Bitch at the Veterinary College Show for members only in 1927.
They held their first club show in 1931.
In 1932 the Southern and Long Haired Dachshund Clubs were invited to join the Wirehaired Dachshund Club and the Great Joint Dachshund Club was formed. Their first show was in 1933 with a entry fee of 5/6, and prize money of 20/-, 10/-, and 5/-.
