I have heard dash hound several times also, in addition to the ones mentioned in your article. The only Dutch hound I have heard of is my own, but that’s because her name is Duchess Marie, Dutch for short. 🥰

I have tried to correct them and explain the German but usually they think they are correct! LOL

You are not wrong! Ha, ha. Most Dachshund owners love a good wiener joke. I get that not everyone is comfortable saying that word though.

My 1st weenie was a mini black & tan named roscoe he was 13 when he left us. I have 2 more now. Louie is a brindle & Dunkkin is a black & tan. I just love these little guys to pieces. They are characters & have so much love to give.

In UK I have a Dachshund, (pronounced Daxhund) and that’s what he’ll stay. Thanks for the blog

I have owned these little guys since I was 10. That was 59 years ago. I’ve got another this year. Love these babies

Hi. I have had them for over 40 years and I would not have anything other than my DASHOUND. At this time. RANGER DANGER 15 and his son BUSTER BROWN is 12. And MR JANGLES is only 3. .I am 70 and I know they are a handful but until you have one you don’t know how to live. Forgot. The will track deer only. As all know they are fast but do get tired soon

Glad you like our blog. I’ve definitely heard several people use the term “Dixie” before.

Congrats on your new addition. Great name pic too. I know a lot of wiener dogs named that.

Like “wiener” dog, people spell Chiwienie many different ways. The way I spelled it is the most technically correct becuse it’s a direct combination of Chihuahua and Wiener. I’ve seen it spelled Chiweenie too though and I think that is cute 🙂

I’m about to acquire a 4 month old chiwienie (sp?) and am considering naming him Oscar Mayer. Get it? LOL. The song/jingle will
accompany him everywhere he goes and I’ll be the songster – of course!

Ha, ha. Thanks for catching that. That was definitely a case of a typo. Ironic isn’t it given the article 😉

Thanks for the clarification of the terms. I find it very fascinating.

*My* two cents: In Germany, the dog is definitely normally called “Dackel”.
The historical denomination “Dachshund” is seldom used. The FCI states, that Dachshund is the german name for this dog, whereas it is rather used as collective term for “Dackel” hunting dogs divided into short haired, long haired and wire-haired Dackel.
The name “Teckel”, in turn, is hunter’s jargon. Usually, kennel clubs just love to use that description.

Meh…. Dachshund nuts spell it either way so they get it no matter how I spell it 🙂 Do you live in Bellingham currently? I went to school and one of my best friends lives there so I go up fairly often. Love that town.

I recently adopted a PRECIOUS little Wienerschnitzel and found your blog when I googled to find the proper spelling!
Keep going with the Weiner, it makes such a great story! =)

BTW, I’m from Bellingham, my puppy was born in Lacey and we adopted her in Lacey so her name is…….Lacey!!

Yes. I hear you and thanks for the little German lesson. The thing is though, whether you like it or not, or whether is’s grammatically correct, some people in the Dachshund community will always spell it weiner. To me, it’s nothing to get angry over. Life is too short. What matters to me is that they treat their dogs well.

If you’re going to call them “Weeners”, the spelling has to be WIE. THat’s pronounced “wee in German.
WEI is pronounced “why”, so “Weiners” is pronounced “Whiners”, which is just stupid.
OK?
