Back problems aren't a for sure thing for dachshunds, responsible owners can do many things to lessen the chances: proper exercise, proper weight maintained by proper food, and the use of ramps or doggy stairs to limit jumping. Dachshunds should not be considered an inferior breed that needs to be "fixed" by mixed breeding! I don't know what the precentage is of doxies that need to have back surgery, but any dog can have an expensive medical need at any time. Feeding a dog scones everyday is not responsible in my book.
