A Guide to The Verstappen Dachshunds 🐶
The Verstappen’s have owned dachshunds for over 30 years (according to Jos!) and as a dachshund lover myself I thought I would put together everything I know so far about the Verstappen sausages.
Spyke
Spyke is the most well known Verstappen dachshund as he was Max’s best friend for 11 years. Spyke lived with Jos and Max, until Max moved out, and then Spyke stayed with Jos.
Spyke died at the very end of 2020 and Max bid an emotional farewell to him on Instagram.
Zigi
Zigi is often confused for Spyke (as let’s be real they look the same) but Zigi is actually Sophie’s dog.
He is currently 14 years old and doing well! I think he had a sister called Zaza but I have not managed to find out very much about Zaza.
@tyrannosaurus-maxy also made me this gifset of Zigi (and Zaza?) from Max Verstappen: Whatever It Takes as Max fusses Zigi and Zaza in the video and they’re often spotted in the background.
Like here, where Zigi is watching Max play fifa.
Holly
Holly is a new addition! She lives with Sophie and Zigi. There is not currently any photos of Max with Holly and when there are you will know about it as I will likely combust.
Holly is an Isabella (this is a diluted colouring and makes me sad 😭) miniature smooth haired dachshund, which actually makes her different as up until now it appears the Verstappen’s have only owned miniature wire haired dachshunds.
Others
Jos does currently have a miniature wire haired dachshund but I am not sure of the name, however… here it is!
I believe this is Zaza? (Sophie’s dog and Zigi’s sister)
And then here are some more photos of Holly and Zigi!
(you can find all of these images on max, victoria, sophie, and jos’ instagram account and some are insta stories that I’ve saved because I’m obsessed with verstappen sausage dog lore)
THANK YOU FOR READING AND FEEL FREE TO SEND ME ANY VERSTAPPEN SAUSAGE INFO 🫡

Hi my name is Zygismunt "Zigi" Berg and I have long greasy black hair and red tips that reaches my mid-back and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Ignus Nilsen (AN: if u don't know who he is get da hell out of here!). I'm not related to Frantiček the Brave but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie. I'm a communist but mostly just so that I can insult people by calling them bourgeois. I have pale white skin. I'm also a nihilist, and I can spend time in the pale without any negative effects which I've been doing for several decades (I'm thirty nine). I'm a rocker (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly black. For example 20 years ago I was wearing my favourite black leather jacket with seven white stripes running down the back, black jeans and black combat boots. I was walking outside Karl Lund's house because I hate him. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of bourgeois fuckers stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

I would like to congratulate Zigi for making up a version of his blorbo in his head to dialectically take out his issues with, for decades, and managing to keep him reasonably in-character to the very end. Dude's faring better than most of us on Tumblr.
