I've had both. The beagle was the most hard-headed dog I ever owned. This was back in the old days when I was a teenager, before they had leash laws and fences, and people's dogs just roamed free in the neighborhood.

We would let the dog out, and then later, we would go out and whistle for him. Most dogs had enough sense to come when called, b/c that was their source of food, water, warmth and love.

Not our dog. He would run the other way, then hide behind a bush and peek around it to see if he tricked you. LOL.

I've never had a dachshund, but my sister has had a string of them. Some good, some not so great, no a-holes. Her latest one is funny as hell, smart as a whip, and loves his peeps.

Just don't let a stranger try to come up and touch any of them, or he will then proceed to try to eat the stranger, lol.

I had one that was half poodle, half doxie. Guinness. My last dog, and my favorite one ever. Had a heart of gold, loved everybody, was a rescue who had survived about 9 months on the streets as a puppy, somehow. When he was picked up by the dog pound, his poodle eyebrows had grown over his long dachshund nose. That was a sight to see.

Never met a dog who was so happy, especially given what he lived through as a puppy. But you had to be careful about leaving doors cracked, b/c he would run through like a blur and prance around all over the neighborhood until we finally corralled him, lol. A wonder he never got run over, but I guess he was either lucky or fast.
