I pronounce it Dot-sund but I have heard it both ways.
Dock-sund
Dutch-hound
doxund
It's supposed to be pronounced as Dacks-hund or Dox-hund. I say that latter.
They are not Dutch-hounds, Dash-hounds, Datsuns, etc. Lol...Having had Dachshunds throughout my life, it does tend to get a bit annoying when people continually mispronounce their breed name.

It's hard to think how I normally pronounce it, when I'm trying to pronounce it. Ya know? LOL
I know one pronounciation that is definately incorrect is Datsun ... like the car. That always kills me when people call my grooming shop and say, "I need to get my Datsun in." I am ever so tempted to say, "For an oil change?" :cool:
Dox-und or Dox-ound.
dox-hund
