Postcards of dachshunds were very popular in the the early 1900s. Here's quite a few samples for you look at.)
This one from 1906 comes in four parts. You would mail one piece at a time. There was even one part of a poem on each card. It read:
I send you the head of a Dachshund today,
Wait for the next part, don't throw this away.
Two funny feet towards you trot,
Dear friend, oh please forget me not.
The middle of the animal now I mail,
And soon as possible will add the tail.
This card now makes the dog complete,
It is not intended for sausage meat.
Here some others:

I found this artwork on a T-shirt in Playa Del Carmen Mexico. "Surf Dog." I'm assuming it's a Dachshund.
In referring to the 1996 movie "Daylight" with Sylvester Stalone, BeatnikPad.com said:
"Furthermore, Stallone lacks the charisma and populist red neck magnetism needed to make us believe he could lead a group of panicked victims out of the crippled tunnel. With his dachshund eyes and his mouth-full-of-marbles delivery, it seems unlike that he could lead even a pack of tourists out of the Museum of Man and Nature." Funny what counts as an adjective these days...
Germany: Dackel
Russian: Takca
French: Le Basset Allemand

The last one remains my favorite. Translated back into English it's: Sausage Dog! Really!

Trivial matters... Ted Baxter on the Mary Tyler Moore Show had a Dachshund. He bought it for an investment because "...someone told me they were going to be popular."
Wow! Take a look at this. Graphic artist Sandy Groebner has done some Wiener Watercolors. And you can see them here. Just click the picture.
There's another movie with a Doxie in it. "15 Minutes", stars Robert De Niro and Edward Burns. Ed Burns plays a Fire Marshall who gets involved in a murder investigation. That character has a dachshund. It's dark and violent movie. Not for everyone.

Are Dachshunds really "Hot Dogs"? You bet. A healthy Dachshund has a body temperature of 101.5F (38.6C). Good to know on a cold winter night. They make great Bed Heaters!
Did you know that Jed Clampett from the TV show Beverly Hillbillies was referring to a wiener dog when he yelled, "Wee Doggies"?
