Lancashire heeler? Maybe? Or even a crossbreed? Like a dachshund crossed with a miniature pinscher?

If it had dinky legs it was probably a Lancashire heeler.

All dogs have tails unless illegally mutilated for fashion purposes.

Lancashire heelers are quick and nippy/light on their feet because they originally used to round up cattle I think. Great little characters.
