The fact that the name "dachshund" is hard to read in the first place, and on top of that, anti-German sentiment during World War 1 (people in London actually stoned the dogs to death) caused a more British sounding pronunciation of the name. I'll give you both:
Proper way (German) pronounced - "Docks Hoont"
Germans also call them "dachelle"pronounced - "Dock el"
Anglicized Way pronounced - "Docks Send"
Hope this helps

properly, yet another Dachshund could be a desirable adventure (some women are fairly aggressive whilst placed with yet another lady), yet once you have sufficient time and sufficient Dubloons (Thats what I call money), you may have yet another Dachshund (Male) and that they might probably mate, frequently generating between 2-4 "Sausages" (infant Dachshunds), and to strengthen, they could be continuously fed to no longer lose improve stability (in different words, transforming into on the "final 2nd", that's the final week of being a "infant". which might reason many affliction and ailments, alongside with Lung Failure, Spinal Scopilosis and an incredible style of extra.

Docs Hend.. you really do not have to worry I've heard it pronounced many different ways.
Everyone says it a little different we have 5 of them and you could actually probably call it a weiner dog and people would still know what you were referring to.

I think it depends on where you live at. Here in San Antonio, it's generally "Doxen". When I took my Dachshund, Heidi, with me to Oklahoma, everyone called her a "Dack-shund". In a city we stopped at on the way home, people called her a "dock-shund", or "dock-sund".
