We have a one year old dachsund. She's been in good health until the other morning we noticed she was limping on one of her front legs. Twelve hours later she couldn't stand up at all or walk/move. She looks ill, and doesn't really have a want for food or water. She wines sometimes, and shakes sometimes. She literaly won't move, and isn't the same dog. I don't think this has anything to do with leg injuries. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Dachshunds are very prone to having back injuries. This can cause some of the symptoms you describe. I would recommend taking her to the veterinarian as soon as possible - the sooner treatment is started, the better the chances of recovery (if it is a disk injury). Good luck with Bobini.
