I gotta say, I am a stickler for spelling. Living in the South, we have a lot of creative spellers down here. But come on, Dashhounds? My dogs Skip and Bailey were insulted by this. They may not be extremely bright, but they are proud to be Dachshunds. When you think about it, Dashhound kind of fits – a little hound dashing around. But, it comes from the German work, Dachshund.
I saw this creative spelling in a newspaper article about our shelter. They have a litter of “Dashhound mix” puppies. Don’t get be wrong, the puppies are adorable. They look like a Doxie Yorkie mix. (I wish I had room for more, but my house is full of little guys from the shelter.) I just had to chuckle at the spelling.
There are more creative spellings for our little wiener dogs – check on Google and you will find them – Doxsunds, Dashunds, Dashies, Doxies, and Dachsund. I will be calling the shelter to educate them, not that it will do much good. I just hope those cute puppies find a nice home.
