Weener dog, hot dog, dachshunds (often misspelled dashound)... I think that's about it.

Wiener dog, hot dog, doxie, and dachshund. Some people mispronounce the word Dachshunds here in Pennsylvania. I find this funny considering the majority of people in this part of PA have German ancestory.

Brazil:
dachshund and teckel - which come both from German or salsicha - meaning simply sausage;
there was a TV commercial of a car suspension maker that stared a dachshund so now the people call them cofap sometimes, after the company's name.

In Japan, there's the Japanese-ified pronunciation of "dachshund" (dakkusufundo) in addition to the abbreviation noted by maruta.
I've seen Dackel in a German dictionary before. It's apparently also a slang term for something like "fool" (my memory's rather hazy, so that might not be it), which I found amusing.

In Germany we primarily call them Dackel. But we also say Teckel or Dachshund.
seldom the word Dackel is used as a slang term for something like "fool" ... :-)

Hello from Poland :) Here we call "Sausage Dog" too ;) And also "Niskopodłogowy" which means.. hmm... "low floor-board" - like in this bus: komunikacja.we.wroclawiu.net/pics/181.jpg

I'd say "hot dog" is the most common -- and it's all the funnier when said with a Harry Caray accent (or, more accurately, with a Will-Ferrell-impression-of-Harry-Caray-accent).
As for me and my S.O. -- we call him "lil' stink" in honor of his breath ;)

In Holland Teckel or Takshond. I was in Norway some days ago, we were waiting for a ferry and then suddenly a man put his head through the car window and said: "Har du en taks?" He was very enthousiastic.
My dachshund almost bit him in the fingers, he does not like strangers :).

In Serbia they are called "jazavičar" - pronounced yazaveechar, with the first syllable stressed (in Croatia, one vowel less - jazavčar). It comes from the word "jazavac" which means badger. So basically, the same as Dachshund - badger-dog. :)

In Brazil the popular name is "Lingüíça" or "Salsicha", the same of "Sausage dog".
A lot of people make a great mistake, associating this dog image to "Basset".
That's it !

In Italy a dachshund is called "Bassotto Tedesco", which translates roughly to "German Bassett".
The italian word "bassotto" means "short-legged one", but with a nice tone to it ("cuteness" implied).

Hi. In Poland it's officially called "Jamnik" (pronounced yamnick).
We call it parówka (hot-dog), nornik (holer?), podkołdrowiec (underquilter?) :)
There are many local variations and names.
In the city that I'm living right now (Cracow), every september is great "Dachshund Parade". Last year there were over 1000 dogs ;)

"stoofbuis" I think is a Belgium (dutch) expression. Some 60 years and longer ago everbody had a "stoof" in there kitchen. It was used for cooking and heating the kitchen.. It burned wood and coal. At the end there was a small pipe to the cieling for all the fuems... And a daschhund is also small pipe like... That's why there are still called a "Stoofbuis"... It's defenitly not because the are stupid...

Dat dar is one of dem wiener dogs ain't it? He any good fer hunting coons? His legs are kinda short, said about my past Peanuts who was a smooth short hair red standard by my friend Bo.
I've also heard hot dog, sausage dog, and chili dog.
I prefer to call them Master of their Universe. I'm in the market for a smooth short hair red standard male if anyone has a good lead for South Carolina. Many thanks for answers and for this group. I really enjoy the photos of my favorite pet.

Here in the UK they are known mainly as sausage-dogs, but everyone recognises dachshund (altho I've seen some weird spellings!). Dachs coming from the word badger and hund meaning hound - I believe they originate as badger hunters in Germany somewhere - I think more people in the UK are also adopting Wiener and Doxie from the host of websites that are pro-dachshund in the USA - please feel free to check out my gorgeous boy George - he insists he's not any of the above - just a human being like the rest of the family!

We got ours while living in Germany where these wonderful little sweethearts were bred. They were bred for badger hunting. The German word for badger is Dachs thus the breed of Dachshund or Badgerhound. The germans refer to them as dackels for short. You can search on this word and actually find many additional sites of interest.

Unfortunately, here in Tennessee, we often hear our dogs called "weiner dogs, weenee dogs, or dash hound"... few bother to pronounce dachshund, unless they know the breed.

On the west side of Chicago, they ask what type of dog you have, and you answer 'dachshund,' most people give you a blank stare. For about 50% of the folks, their face lights up when you say 'wiener dog,' and for the other 50%, it's 'salchicha!'

In NJ (You know the garden state! Except when the Wieners pee in the garden!),
I call mine most of the time (Weiner pains!) Or (Pain in the asses)
Because most of the time when I call them they don't come they both want to play catch me if you can or leave me alone we want to play with the dog on the other side of the fence!
Except when they play lets rip the couch apart!
