Doxiepoo
Pet Keen
The Doxiepoo, developed from the Dachshund and the Toy Poodle, is one of the most unpredictable among the crossbreed dogs. They can inherit the Dachshund’s long body covered with the Poodle’s curly coat, or even the vice versa. Even the siblings of the same litter might vary from each other in appearance. They are designer dogs with a round face, bright, round eyes, a short, dark muzzle, and a pair of floppy ears that hang down near their cheeks. When fully grown, adult Doxiepoos typically weigh between 5 to 15 pounds.
The loving, affectionate and easygoing Doxiepoo is good with people of all ages. They are friendly, intelligent, peopleoriented and are loyal to their families. The Doxie is comfortable to be around children and pets, but supervision is recommended. Though, these dogs often pick up the bad traits of their parents, like the stubborn behavior of the Dachshund.
The Doxiepoo is mischievous and funny and would love to dig and play around or get cuddled. They would often develop excessive barking behaviors, which might at times be obnoxious, but adds to their quality of being a good watchdog.
By virtue of its inherited intelligence, training your doxiepoo is not at all tough. They would pick up training very quickly, though, at times might display obstinate behavior. This can easily be resolved by means of rewards and positive reinforcements.
Begin your obedience training at its puppyage and allow them to socialize frequently. This should keep a check on possible behavioral issues like barking habits and stubbornness, as they grow up.
