UPDATE: Scruff is an absolute sweetheart. He almost falls asleep when you pet him in your arms. He loves to snuggle! He gets along well with my other dachshund and takes her lead on household rules (no begging, no jumping on furniture). He does not mark in the house when we are home but he gets anxious when we are not here and will mark. He is crate trained, and he stays in his crate when we are gone and sleeps there too. He loves to go on walks. From what I've observed he gets along well with kids. He would be perfect for a family who is home a lot of the time.
Scruff is a sweetheart who'll win your heart! He was pulled from a shelter in North Texas, and it's pretty obvious he hasn't known good nutrition or loving care. We're pretty sure he was neglected, possibly abused, as he was initially fearful and submissive, but he has come to realize a belly rub and a lap to curl up in are awesome things to have. He craves your attention and wants to please. He was just skin and bones when he came into rescue, but now he's filled out a bit and is just as cute as can be. He's an energetic 7 year old who loves to play with other dogs or just chill on a nice, soft bed.
