They are breed to hunt badgers They are stubborn, independent and fierce. Also lovely, but you should know what's coming for you.

Exactly this.

Dachshunds are not a good beginner breed because they have the perfect combination of intelligence and stubbornness that makes them require a lot of attention and training to get under control. But once you know what you're doing they're excellent companions, extremely loyal and very friendly. My parents miniature dachshund is an absolute sweetheart, loves the family to death.

My families first dog was a border collie - dachshund mix. Greatest dog ever, incredible personality. But whoever breed them should be in jail. That poor thing had several health issues. She was independent, incredibly smart and manipulative.
