2025 edition: Christmas Card Exchange for Dachshund Enthusiasts

Sign up for the 11th edition of the Dachshunds United Christmas Card Exchange!

Some things never get old - like our Christmas Card Exchange for dachshund lovers around the world. I can’t wait for this year’s festive fun!

Who can participate?

Everyone who loves the dachshund breed is welcome. You don’t need to own a dachshund to join. Multiple people from the same household may participate - please submit one form per person.

To view some photos of the previous years, check out #DUChristmasCardExchange on Instagram.

Is it free?

Participation is free. I organize this every year to give back to the dachshund community. Participants are responsible for the cost of their own cards and postage.

How does it work?

  1. Fill in the form below by Friday November 28 (this is the extended deadline!)

    • By submitting the form you agree that your contact details will be shared with your assigned pen pals and that you will be added to our mailing list (you may opt out at any time). We will never sell your information.

  2. Choose how many pen pals you’d like and if you want to send cards internationally (only optional if you are a US resident).

  3. You’ll receive your matches by email on or before December 3.

  4. Please mail your cards by December 10 (allow extra time for international postage).

  5. It is strictly prohibited to share the personal information of your pen pals with others.

  6. Sending small gifts is allowed but not expected — please be mindful that people have different budgets.
