My family has one, a short-haired dachshund. He is seven and a half years old, and he is not too clingy, but he likes to stay in the same room with others and needs a quilt when sleeping. The reason is that his hair is short and he is afraid of the cold. In winter, he is prone to catching a cold without a fire, so be careful. He doesn't like to bark much, maybe it's a male dog. How big you grow depends on whether you are a pocket size or a standard size. You can check the size on the Internet. However, sausages are easy to gain weight and are picky eaters. They need to be well trained. They are reasonably smart and can be easily trained to use the toilet. However, they need to be trained well. The master taught me patiently and was docile. . . That's something to discuss. Anyway, it's very individual. It seems that many people who raise sausages have been injured by their own ones, and they are a bit dissatisfied with the poor and love the rich for outsiders, eh. . It's true that it's more of a housekeeping thing. . Although small in size. . But it does seem a bit nosy. . . Personal experience
