Hot dog, wiener dog, and sausage dog are the most common nicknames for this breed. Their actual name: "Dachshund", means "badger dog" in German.

Just wanted to add: There are miniature dachshunds, smooth, wire-haired and long-haired dachshunds. But I would have to say my favorite variety is the chiweenie which is a cross between a dachshund and a chihuahua. It doesn't get any cuter than that!
