keep looking till you find a good breeder, i have a dachshund also, i do have to say they are sweet loving dogs, thou you cant get them out in the rain and one thing to look for, make sure the parents arent yappy, cause these guys can get yappy i heard, thou mine has only barked 3 times, and read up on there back problems and warning signs for those, i know you probably know these things , anyways good luck with findnig a breeder, and when you pick out a puppy i want to see pics , oh and they LOVE to sleep under the covers
