Hot Dogs actually used to be called Hot Dachshunds, until a newspaper reporter couldn't spell Dachshund, and shortened it to Dog.

The name stuck.

Coincidentally, did you know the Min Pin *Miniature Pinscher* is actually not related to the standard Pinscher or the Doberman Pinscher? It is believed to be the product of the breeding of a Dachshund and an Italian Greyhound. Personally, I'd just call that an Italian Sausage.

I like ketchup and honey mustard on my hot dog.

Cute little fella.

Just don't tell min pins that. I've worked with dogs for most of my life and give me a Doberman anytime. I've yet to meet a min pin that wouldn't make a great attack/guard dog. Think of the savings in dog food. You could have a pack of min pins for the cost of one Rottie or Shepherd. SG would never know what hit them. :)

The way I heard it, cartoonist Tad Dorgan drew a cartoon of a dachshund in a bun as a joke, thus coining the phrase "hot dog".

Same here - our nephew and his wife have a couple of wicked min pins. The female is named Athena and she is a terror and an ankle biter. One of my least favorite breed of dogs just because I've never known a really nice sweet kind gentle one.
No offense to anyone who may own one. ;)
