Please give me reasons not to adopt this mini!

This miniature dachshund is 5 and unbelievably adorable. I'm looking for reasons, having never had a sausage before, NOT to adopt him.

It's quite clear all the reasons I should take him home with me, but I need the cons list.

For context:

He has to be rehomed because he lives in sheep country and keeps attacking sheep.

My living situation is changing, my son (11) and I have been staying with my parents (and three cats) but moving to the countryside with my partner in the summer (will be getting a kitten, this is his non-negotiable).

We have horses but not at home.

We like to go on adventures around the Scottish Highlands which involves a lot of walking (however parents/brother are happy to look after pets).

I've never outright owned a dog, but have lived with them and am close to my brother's dog).

Both my partner and I work full time in education, and son is at school.

Partners sister has a cockapoo who is yappy af and will not shut up, so this is likely to be a concern for me if sausages are generally yappy creatures.

Why should I say no to this beautiful boy?
