    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.

    Dox-Und, I guess.

    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?"

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    lol I don't think I can even pronounce it a little right, when I say it, it's kind of like "Dash-hond".
