In summary

18th c., from Low German Teckel, a variant of German Dackel, also Dächsel and perhaps *Däckel, from Dachshund. Most readily explained as a borrowing from Upper German or East Central German dialects, which use the diminutive ending -el and in which word-initial ‹d› tends to be voiceless. Note, however, that Teckel is attested somewhat earlier than the other forms.
