Meaning & Story

The English word for a cured meat product, used as a pet name for its humorous, endearing quality — especially perfect for long, low dogs like Dachshunds.

Sausage is the kind of name that is pure joy. It's impossible to be in a bad mood when you're calling for a dog named Sausage. It works brilliantly on a Dachshund (for obvious reasons), but honestly any rotund, happy-go-lucky dog earns this name by simply existing. The name has an inherent warmth and silliness that makes every day a little funnier.
