my whole life everyone has called them wiener dogs.

In Italy they're " ******** " which means "lowies" (sounds like ****** hound too, but they're different things). Fun fact, the "beagle gang", the one that fights with Uncle Scrooge, is the "banda ******** "

In Denmark, they are Bjørnebanden, the Bear Gang or the Bear Brigade.

In Cuba we call them "Salchichas" or "Perros de salchicha" which mean sausage dogs too.

I like your name better, it's cooler and makes more sense
