Dacshund pronunciation

[wolfsoul]

How do you pronounce the name? I always used to pronounce it "Dash hound" because that's how everyone I knew pronounced it. But then after hearing Doxie so many times, I caught on that it was pronounced "Dox ind." Now that's how I pronounce it.

But I still hear people call it a dash hound, so I figure it's a personal preference thing. How do YOU pronounce it?

[ParNone]

With my Texas accent, it sounds something like, "Dox-sin"

Par...

[Kfamr]

Other - Weiner dog!

[binka_nugget]

Lol I use to call it a weiner dog cuz I never knew what breed it really was. After I watched a dog show on tv, I finally caught on. I pronounce it Dox-ind now.

Born in Germany-ve say Dackel, or veenee hundschen

[bratt]

the name dachshund literally means dachs (badger) hund (dog) in german. so dacks-hoond is probably closest.

i have a miniture dachshund who is 12, his name is sidney.

[Dogz]

On one dog show they pronounced like:
Dach-shund... like they spell it, but I call it what Kfamr does

My family had dachshunds while I was growing up and we always pronounced it "dox-hund".

Thanks for the welcome.
sid is my only dog so he is special - i also have 5 cats. they hate him! that's why he had to go to live with my mom (for his own safety). but i see him almost every day.
