Different breeds have their propensity for certain problems. You bring up the dachshund and there is another example, as their backs can be very bad.

The important thing to do when buying any breed is to know what the potential problems are and find a breeder who can provide some kind of guarantee. Chances are these people have carefully eliminated dogs with problems from the pedigree.
