Dacshund pronunciation

**wolfsoul** · 07-09-2003, 04:27 PM

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?

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

Par...

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.

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.

Docks-hund

Yes, I was born in Germany, too, and my mom calls it a Dackel.

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.

Just like it's spelled: dachs-hund ("hoont" because a terminal d gets a t sound auf Deutsch)

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!

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