Those little hot dogs are the best. My grandma used to have a dachshund/basset hound mix. He was long like a weiner dog but rather fat and sometimes he'd get stuck on his back and we'd have to roll him over.
I've seen weiner dog races on TV and I can't get enough of them sprinting with their little legs.

Weiner dog races? We are so there. I even know a little German.

I wonder if wagering will be available.

My college roommate had a dachshund that only liked her mom and me.

"greyhound is actually a derivation of gaze meaning they hunt by sight not smell."

An etymology originated by Hitler!

I mean Angus Hitler, the noted Philologist of the Amsterdam School of Linguistics, of course.

My family used to have one when I was in high school ... college. He bit everyone once except me. :) He died when I lived in California and every time I go home I still expect him to come running out with his little tail wagging so hard that the back half of his body was moving side to side. *sigh* I can't wait until I can afford to get a dog ... I'll be getting a brown miniature dachshund.

Oh my god... I need that dog. Too bad we can't have dogs in our condo. :(

I thought whippits were something kids do in junior high school at the grocery store.
