• Wirehaired Dachshunds tend to be the most energetic, the most mischievous, and the most obstinate (probably stemming from their strong terrier heritage).
• Longhaired Dachshunds tend to be the quietest and sweetest-natured (probably stemming from their spaniel heritage).
• Smooth Dachshunds are most apt to attach themselves to one person and are often more aloof with strangers.
