I love doxies, I have 4 myself. I have one who would probly track, she goes after deer and squirrels int he yard all the time. Ive heard the WHD are the best for tracking (not just in the dachshund line, but all around). Love them black and tanks rob, good looking dog for what i can see of him. Only thing is ive never seen a wirehairded around here, or heard of one.
