Subject: RE: BS: Why don't Baptists honor weiner dogs?
No. Germans usually call dachsunds "dachles" (dah-k'lz), which is an affectionate term. When a German says "frankfurter", he means a human being from Frankfurt. When an American says frankfurter, he means a hotdog. When a German says "weiner" (vee-ner), he means either a sausage or a person from Vienna! I am sure that German Baptists venerate dachles almost as they would sacred objects.
