Little kids have come to my house and thought that the dogs were so cute, but then they started jumping and barking and the kids freaked out and wanted nothing to do with them. However, if the kids are going to be around the dog all the time, they will be used to it and it probably won't phase them.

I wouldn't go with dachshund. They can be very snappy with kids. My grandmother used to have one. He was nice until he got old and then he started to bite. If you do go with a dachshund the long haired are supposed to be friendlier because they were bred with spaniels I think to develope the long hair.
