I have 2 friends with these mini dashounds which are awesomly cute and lovable, but they both urinate and defecate indoors is that normal for this breed? Both friends describe the same behaviors which sometimes appear to be spiteful.

I have friends with mini dashaunds as well and they aren't house trained either :(
In fact they are difficult to train full stop!

No that is not Normal. Mine doesnt use the restroom in the house. If you are planning on getting any small puppy and you have snowy and cold weather the best thing to do is get them in the spring. They hate to go outside in the cold when they are puppies. Mine will go straight in his crate if he peas in the house and he normally tries to hide it in the tub. Dont know why. He will hold it the entire time we are gone and he is in free range of the house. Im a firm believer in crating puppies for 30 minutes after they eat and then taking them out doors. Also when you leave. It helps excersise there blatter control. I had mine 100% potty trained in 2 weeks but puppies do need to go to the restroom often and shouldnt be left to live in a crate.

'Dachshunds' do not normally go to the toilet in the house, and even if they did it would not be spiteful. The reason they do that is probably something in the training of them. I hope I helped.

No, it is not "normal" for any specific breed.
It just means that they're not potty trained. Dogs are not purposely spiteful. It's the owner's fault for not training his dogs properly.

No, their owners just haven't house trained them. There are no breeds that can't be house trained.
You can read about Dachshunds here. There is no mention of being hard to house train, or can't be house trained.
