Description

The Doxle is a hybrid breed of the Beagle and the Dachshund. It is a small to medium-sized dog that has a unique appearance, making it an attractive pet for many people. The Doxle has a short, smooth coat that can come in various colors such as black, brown, red, and white. Its head is round with floppy ears and its muzzle is long and tapered. Its eyes are usually dark brown or black in color.

The lifespan of the Doxle dog is typically between 12 to 15 years when properly cared for. The size of the Doxle varies depending on its parent breeds but generally ranges from 10 to 15 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs between 20 to 30 pounds when fully grown.

The personality of the Doxle dog is friendly and outgoing with an eagerness to please its owners. They are intelligent dogs that can be easily trained with patience and consistency. They are also very loyal companions who will form strong bonds with their owners over time.

Doxles are generally friendly towards other dogs, cats, children, and other animals if they have been socialized properly from an early age. They may bark at strangers but this behavior can be curbed through proper training techniques such as positive reinforcement methods like treats or praise when they behave appropriately around others.

The temperament of the Doxle dog is active yet gentle which makes them great family pets as they enjoy spending time playing games or going on walks with their owners or family members alike. They do not require too much exercise but should still get regular physical activity in order to stay healthy both mentally and physically.

The health of the Doxle dog should be monitored regularly by taking them for regular checkups at your local veterinarian’s office in order to ensure that any potential health issues are caught early on before they become more serious problems down the line. Common health issues include hip dysplasia, eye problems such as cataracts or glaucoma, ear infections due to their floppy ears trapping moisture inside them more easily than other breeds’ ears would do so it’s important to keep them clean regularly too!

The adaptability level of the Doxle dog is quite high which makes them suitable for living in apartments or smaller homes since they don’t need too much space nor do they require excessive amounts of exercise either so long as you provide enough mental stimulation through activities like playing fetch or teaching new tricks every now then! As far as benefits go; these little guys make great companions due to their loving nature towards humans plus they don’t shed much either so if you have allergies this could be a great option for you!

History

The Doxle is a mixed breed dog–a cross between the Miniature Poodle and the Dachshund. The Doxle was first bred in the United States in the 1980s. The Doxle is not a purebred dog and is not recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC).

The Doxle is a small to medium sized dog. They weigh between 15 and 30 pounds and stand 10 to 15 inches tall at the shoulder. The coat of a Doxle can be either curly or wavy and is usually black, brown, or cream colored with some white markings. The coat may also be solid black, brown, or cream.

The Dachshund is thought to be of German origin dating back to the 16th century. They were bred to hunt badgers and other burrowing animals. The Miniature Poodle is also of German origin dating back to the 15th century when they were bred as water dogs.

In the early 1980s, two American women decided to crossbreed a Miniature Poodle with a Dachshund in order to create a small hypoallergenic dog that would still have the hunting instincts of the Dachshund. The first generation of these crosses were called Doodlebugs or Bug-A-Poos. From these Doodlebugs, one breeder decided to further develop the cross into what we now know as the Doxle. This new generation was created by crossing a Doodlebug with a Toy Poodle.

The Toy Poodle was added to help reduce size without sacrificing coat quality or temperament. By 1986, this new generation had become quite popular in Australia where they were originally called Aussiedoodles before being renamed Doodles Down Under. In 1988, this new generation made its way back to America where they were dubbed “Doxles” after their two parent breeds (Dachshund + Poodle).

Although popular in Australia and America, the Doxle remains relatively unknown in Europe where both parent breeds are more popular than the crossbreed itself.
