This is a great site to get all kinds of info on Doxies
http://www.dachshund-dca.org/
Doxies come in two sizes: Miniature and Standard
and 3 coat types: Smooth, Longhaired, Wirehaired.
They are hounds. Hounds are notoriously stubborn.'
They are also prone to back injuries because they have such a long back. Nevertheless, I like Doxies.
Some are loud, some are hyper, some are smarter than others. Check out the parents. If they have the temperament you are looking, their pups will probably be just like them.

Dachshunds as a rule are very smart. All small dogs can be loud. Mine arent too bad and only bark if they think there is a reason. Sometimes the reason is because they are glad to see me though. All young dogs are hyper and dachshunds seem to be that way fairly often. They also tend to not realize they are not supposed to jump because of their back. You have to keep an eye on them about that so they dont get a back injury. If you get one and it does wind up with a back injury , dont let the vet talk you into putting it to sleep. One of mine got hurt playing with my other one and after a few months can walk again but doesnt have full control of her bodily functions. We just clean up her messes and deal with it as she is part of the family. She has a happy life and isnt in pain. She just doesnt walk as well as she used to. Warm baths seemed to help her.

I have a daschund mix, and she is a very smart dog. I also have a mini daschund, just a puppy.
Here are a few links, search for the breed Daschund and read all about them:

If you get one that isn't a puppy then you won't have to worry about the "hyper" issue. Try to find one that's about a year old. That way it will already be potty trained and such.

If you're prepared to spend as much time on your dogs hair as you do with yours, then you should get one. If you're not, then don't. These sorts of dogs required a lot of maintainance
