Definitions
Dachsie is the affectionate nickname for a dachshund — those low-riding, long-bodied dogs that look like someone stretched a normal dog horizontally and forgot to stop. The term is used by owners, vets, and anyone who's ever lost their heart to a dog shaped like a bratwurst. Friendly, stubborn, and absolutely convinced they're the biggest dog in the room, dachsies have a devoted fanbase that loves them despite (or because of) the back problems.
Her dachsie waddled across the park like he owned every inch of it.

- sausage dog59%
British slang for the long draught-excluding cushion shaped like a dog and placed at the bottom of a door to keep cold air out. A staple of British homes before decent insulation became standard, the sausage dog is part practical, part endearingly kitschy décor. The name obviously nods to the dachshund's famously elongated body, and the items remain popular as novelty gifts. Nothing says cosy British home quite like a fabric dachshund guarding the front door.
- foxie53%
Australian and New Zealand informal for a fox terrier — the energetic, scrappy little dog breed that was once enormously popular as a working and companion dog across the Anglophone world. The '-ie' diminutive is characteristic of both Australian and New Zealand English, which tends to affectionately shorten everything from breakfast to flip-flops. A foxie is typically described as feisty, clever, and relentlessly active — a dog with a lot of personality in a small body. The term is warm and familiar rather than technical.
