Since Aule made the dwarves and Sauron/Saruman were of his people, they were similar in nature. Dwarves did not become wraiths because of the rings' effects on them. Their wills weren't as bent to Sauron's will as much as the wills of men. They already had a great deal of greed in their nature and had already learned to focus it on mining. The rings just enhanced this greed. With all their greed so focused on their mining, their greed would make them quite stubborn, much like Sauron was stubborn and unyielding in his mission as the Dark Lord, and Saruman was stubborn in his pursuit of the One Ring.
