Dacshund pronunciation

[clara4457]

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

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.

At first I would pronounce it "Dash-und", but on dog shows I've heard it pronounced "Dack-sund"/"Dack-shund".

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.
