Dachshunds do like to bark which does come in handy for alerting you to visitors, even though they don’t think they are as small as they are.
Dachshunds are natural burrowers so it may be an idea to give up some garden for them to dig and in the house a few blankets for them to burrow keeps them entertained.

They come in many colours, such as: black/tan, chocolate/tan, shaded red/cream, dapples, and brindle.
