This dog is crying out for help. And would appreciate it if you'd stop calling him a "weiner dog"...

1. That's not a dachshund.

But I concur; don't call dachshunds "weiner dogs". And for fucks' sake, don't fucking call it a "dash-hound". I want to smack people who call them that...

2. In Mexico, they call dachshunds salchichas

Salchichas= sausage

5. The Germans aren't using that word anymore - they're using "teckel"

And most people don't know how to properly produce the German "ch" sound. In some dialects "sh" is closer to what they would pronounce than the "spitting up" sound some people try and use.

7. The German use of 'dachshund' or 'teckel' is regional.

And how hard is it to say 'dox-oond', as opposed to 'dash-hound'?

11. Apparently it's an overweight standard

Never seen a dachshund that color before. And I've seen a lot of dachshunds...
