I work long hours and it wouldn't be ok with me to keep my dachsie in one for 12 hrs while im working. I DID, however, just adopt a rescue chihuahua mix who's 6 years old and have to figure out why he's not completely housebroken. Not sure if I can fix that....

I am pretty much against crating. I put myself in the dogs place and think would I want to be stuck in a small wire cage all day? No. I used a crate with my other dachshund Anna when she was a puppy. She was horrible to potty train, and I had nicknamed her the princess of pee and the duchess of poo. Once she was trained I got rid of the crate.
