I've had one for 4 years now and I love him to death, but he's a little bastard. :|
Pros: They are very loyal and loving, they want to play with you and are good with other dogs unless the other one is too big and rambunctious. Very handsome, too, if you go for the long hairs (which are the more mild mannered out of the three dachshund types).
Cons: Stubborn, barky, overprotective, needy, demanding. They are always at your side wanting to be payed attention to, or just plain following you everywhere...mine is always at my feet (I've almost stepped on him many times).. They also have back problems, so if you live somewhere with lots of stairs I would not recommend a dachshund.
They are also VERY emotional..mine gets upset when you yell at him and stays in a dark corner unless you "make up" with him. Very weird personalities.
After all is said and done, they are awesome dogs, but be prepared to deal with their need for attention and their interesting personality.
