Thanks so much everyone for the information and taking the time to reply. My parent's last dog was a demon. She sadly had alot of health issues which included but were not limited to: a special diet because she couldn't digest her food right, anxiety that was treated with drugs, she broke her back and need surgery to the tune of $3,000, and she got in a fight with their cat that caused her to lose her left eye(the cat is not agressive alot but was push to the breaking point). They have had three dachshunds and they have all of had issues that were not minor. So I know that this time they are looking for a breed. that is a little less worry healthwise.
