I have 2 miniature dachsunds. One is a 13-lb male black and tan shorthair and the other is a 6-lb (fully grown) female dapple grey longhair. The male one, Rocky, is fantastic - very mellow temperment, doesn't bark much, and listens very well. The female, Sophie, is a complete princess and is very yappy and hyper. So, if you're going for a doxie, make sure you observe the puppy/dog before you get it, because they can be very different. Sophie was kind of a shock to us, since we had Rocky for about 5 years before we got her, and we thought she'd have a similar personality - boy, were we wrong! Also, they are very protective of their people and will freak out at the "attacker," even if you're just playing around. One great thing is that they don't shed at all, even the longhaired ones, so they are perfect for people with allergies. My mom is horribly allergic to dogs, and has had no problems with either of ours.
