Dachshunds are my favorite breed. We've had miniatures and now have a miniature doxy-terrier mix. They're clever, stubborn and incredibly fearless.
Marcus, you're not giving them enough credit. The German 'dachshund' translates to badger dog. The standards were originally bred to hunt badgers so you know they're tough SOBs! You're right about those mixes. A standard dachshund typically tops out at ~30 lbs, so these dogs were mixed with something bigger.
