Dachshunds

For example, do they shed a lot, what kind of temperament do they have, are they easy to train, etc. Thanks!

First, they do not shed alot. They have good temperaments and are very good with children. They are very active and do need attention but will be okay if left alone for a while. They are loving and loyal but they also have what I like to call "The Napoleon Complex". A little dog trying to prove something. They are easy to house train and will do tricks. With care and love and the right amount of attention they are wonderful little dogs. They also are easily spoiled.
