owning a Dachshund

[kwaka jack]

We are considering buying a dachshund puppy in the near future. I'm after general advice/experiences from people who have owned them. I've seen online they can be quite hard to house train etc. Is this true? We will be taking it to puppy classes. Would this be better on a 1/1 basis or group.

Many thanks.

Thanks for the info. The bad back problems had caught my eye as well. While it will be our only dog I can see my step son encouraging it to jump about a bit. Walking won't be a problem. We have a good mixture of beach and woodland in my area so plenty of exploring to do.

Cheers for all the info.
