I didn't want a dog when my wife informed me that we were getting one... I wasn't happy about the decision, but he's slowly but surely won me over and now he's one of my favorite subjects... I don't even like little dogs... But I think I've made an exception...
Had one for many years-- went to the wife in the divorce (and finally passed away at age 15). They are incredibly loyal dogs.. Can be stubborn at times but miss mine...
Can be stubborn?! :-)… Stubborn loyal and very, very smart!
I just prefer bigger dogs, but this one carries him self like a big dog… It’s kind of funny actually.

They were bread to hunt badgers, I believe. Dragging an enraged badger out of his den isn't a job for the faint-hearted.
TRUTH! I never knew that Dachshund was german for "Badger Hound" until we got him. He's our first Dachshund, and for a little guy, he walks around with a chip on his shoulder for sure!
