Here in Canada they're refered to as "Weiner Dogs". Don't know which is worse? |

Bred for hunting badgers, hence the name, dachs being German for badger. |

...and just to be pedantic, it is dachshund, without the "u". |

You can't even get pedantry right can you? |

And I guess the hund without the 'o' would be German for hound. |

To be pedantic, hund is German for dog, whereas in English hound is a specific type of dog, although it can be used more generally. |

Because I had a knitted dachshund as a very young child, I became very confused with Santa's reindeer. |

I always think that these dogs need wheels. |
