Hilarious!
Up here in West Michigan, everybody calls this dog a “Dash-hound”. They also call that blacktop pavement stuff “ash-fault”. It’s not easy living in a special needs community.
Don't make me "The Denny!"
I mean...is that regional thing? 'Cause that's what I call them....never suspected that being from SW MI had anything to do with it.Up here in West Michigan, everybody calls this dog a “Dash-hound”.

I’ve lived in MO, Northern Indiana, WI, Central Michigan, and West Michigan. Never heard that term until I moved to West Michigan. I guess some habits are hard to break.I mean...is that regional thing? 'Cause that's what I call them....never suspected that being from SW MI had anything to do with it.
I had a teacher once who called asphalt "macadam". At first I had no idea what he was talking about, then I thought he had brain damage.I’ve lived in MO, Northern Indiana, WI, Central Michigan, and West Michigan.

Let me guess they pronounce it “Heil-Hound”?Dachshund comes from German "dachs," badger, what they were bred to hunt. And they don't pronounce it "dash."
