Which way is the right way?!?!?!?!?!
In Germany (where they are from) the only correct pronunciations are Teckel or Dacks-hoont as far as I've heard. In North America, the correct way is either Dox-hund or Dax-hund. :)
Dash-hound is commonly used aswell and very popular, but not at all correct.
I pronounce it as Dox-hund.
I pronounce it "Dox-in" and sometimes "dox-sin". Most of the time I just call it a doxie or wiener dog! XD
Same here.... That's how I've been pronouncing them since I was about 8 years old*lol* Quite a few years ago there was a televised world dog show (from Mexico I believe), and the Dachshund had it's own separate group which included a "Toy" variety.Quote:

I lived in Germany for 6 years, so I say it.. very german like haha..
I guess I say "Doc-sund"
Never really thought about it before.
Always cracks me up though when a customer will call and say, "I need to get my Datsun groomed." Like the car. I'm always tempted to ask if they want an oil change, too. ;)
I mix the two. I pronounce it Dox-hound or Dox-hund.
It's a German breed and this is the correct way. Americans tend to pronounce it Dash Hound. I guess it all depends on where one is from and what kind of accent one has. :DQuote:

Yeah beacuse there is another breed called a dashhound though I think it is a second name. One that isn't fromaly recognised yet stilll used to refer to the breed. 'Dok-hund' is how I pronounce Dachsund, though I'm a little favorable to a little k sound when I say things "Dox-hund" is what I believe it is supose to be pronounced.Quote:
