I'm the proud and happy downstairs neighbor of a black and tan long-haired dachshund named Bailey, who deigns to let me pet her on the head from time to time. She's the only dog I know who has seen a canine dental specialist!

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:
