Yes, Dachshund's are subject to some genetic diseases, including slipped disc syndrome. Some owners are apt to pamper their Dachshunds in the hopes of preventing slipped discs. However, rather than being a condition of long-backed, low-slung dogs, the syndrome is probably genetic and pampering has no effect on its expression.
Eye abnormalities, urinary tract stones, and mammary gland cancers can be problems in the breed, and the dapple coat pattern (known as "Merle") is connected with eye and hearing difficulties. Some cancers, such as mast cell tumors are common in the breed, as are heart problems, undescended testes.
Your best bet for a healthy dog, is to buy from a reputable breeder who is breeding dogs that have been genetically tested, and has the paper work to prove it.
