		<B>Temperament</B>
The dachshund is bold, curious and always up for adventure. It likes to hunt and dig, tracking by scent and going to ground after game. It is independent but will join in its family's activities whenever given a chance. It is good with children in its own family, but some may snap at strange children. Most are reserved with strangers. Some bark. The longhaired variety may be quieter and less terrier-like; the wires may be more outgoing. Some miniatures are more prone to be timid.

An awesome breed of dog. We own miniatures and they are fantastic too. A little bit barky at times but that's what scares away criminals.

One should be cognizant of the fact that dachshunds can have back problems and it is a good idea to build ramps for them and discourage jumping up on things if at all possible.
