I'm considering a RR, but have two dachsunds and two tortoises. The tortoises are in a pen but, it's accessable to a dog the size of the RR. Would this be problem, in other words would I be able to train the RR to stay away from the tortoises and get along with the doxis if I get him at 8 weeks? Also, are RR's off leash reliable?

It is possible to train your RR to stay away from your tortoises, however it would have to be patience, persistence and a watchful eye. RR are probably not best off leash unless they are well trained and acknowledges you as their leader/aplha.
