"My friends call me “unpredictable,” but I prefer “interesting!"
Because of their mixed Dachshund-Poodle genes, the Doxiepoo’s personality varies as much as the weather. Some are nice, warm, and carefree, while others are cooler, more serious, and stubborn. Overall, though, you can count on Doxiepoos to be cute little pups that love being your companion no matter what.
Doxiepoos are kind, people-loving dogs. Their personalities can vary depending on whether they have stronger Poodle or Dachshund genes. If they're more Poodle-like, the dog will be funny and easier to train. If the Dachshund side prevails, they will have a stubborn streak. Overall, you can expect your Doxiepoo to be a wonderful companion that enjoys digging, barking, and being by your side all day long.
The Doxiepoo’s coat also will depend on its genes. Those with Poodle coats will have soft, curly fur that needs to be brushed daily and clipped every month or two. Those with Dachshund coats will have wavy hair that doesn’t require as much grooming but still needs a thorough brushing regularly.
The Doxiepoo’s temperament is a bit unpredictable because of their mixed background. Some will get along well with children, dogs, and cats, while others may be loud and snappy toward them. It’s best to introduce these pups to your kids and other animals first to see if they can co-exist. Although their personalities vary, Doxiepoos will always be on the smaller side and do well in an apartment or condo setting.
Doxiepoos have normal energy levels and don’t require as much activity as their Poodle parents. They’re content with a walk or playtime in the yard each day. Doxiepoos are adaptable, so if you prefer to have a lazy day on the couch, they won’t complain about missing a day or two of walking.
