Bob,

 BR> I've heard they also can get back problems?  Because of their length or
 BR> something? 

  That's correct...because of their spinal column, and that they're low
to the ground, as it were. Jumping on and off beds, furniture, etc., can
cause them to get a slipped disc...and for humans who've had that, they
know how painful that is.

  There are "dachshund ramps" and "dachshund steps" available, but I
think the ramps are better.

  In playing "tug of war" with a friends dachshund, if he's on the couch
next to me (it's amazing how strong the little booger is), and on the same
level, he growls/grunts with each pull. His owners said "there's little
chance of him hurting himself that way".

  Lately, he's eating better than his humans...things like apples,
asparagus, bananas (his "Daddy" refers to him as a monkey), cheese, 
carrots, peaches, etc. His "Mommy" left a clump of 4 bananas on the
table, and darn it, if the little weiner widget had the entire deal
in his mouth, bringing them to bed. He wanted a midnight snack!!
