15 Dachshund Mixes We Can’t Get Enough Of

Dachshunds—also known as doxies, sausage dogs, or weenies—are unique German hundes with a charming doxie parentage. They provide intelligence, bravery, and talent along with low shedding and lengthy life expectancies from their mixed lineage.

Here are 15 dachshund breeds that you have to see to believe!

Research Dachshund Mix Breeders Carefully

It’s important to investigate hybrid dog breeders. The majority of them have a devotion to both parent breeds and their offspring, always doing their best to produce the healthiest pups. Unfortunately, puppy mills and online scams are also prevalent in the pet industry.

Patrick Singletary, DVM, from Good Dog Veterinary Care, offers tips for finding a qualified dachshund mix breeder:  

Research the hybrid and their parents thoroughly, dedicating a couple of months.Conduct mutual interviews with the breeder for a complete understanding of the puppy’s upbringing and health.Ensure the breeder permits in-person visits to see the puppies firsthand.

“Seeking out a theriogenologist (reproductive specialist) or a dog-specific veterinarian would also be a great resource to help you gain knowledge about what to ask breeders and what to look for in certain hybrid lines,” Singletary says. Because when you have a chance to love one of the fine pups below, why not bring home the best?

Chiweenie (Chihuahua Dachshund Mix)

A cheeky Chihuahua parent, with all her flair, wit, and devotion, will make certain your Chihuahua and dachshund mix adds a lot of spice to your life! Because both Chis and dachshunds can have smooth or long coats, it’s a roll of the dice for a Chiweenie’s coat texture and color. Keep a groomer in your contacts so she’s always stylin’. The potential longevity for this crossbreed is 18 years (wow!) so early socialization ensures she’ll always be your best dog.

Doxle (Beagle Dachshund Mix)

Beagle mixes are already at the top of “gotta have this dog!” lists, because beagles are some of the best family pets. Your doxle will likely be a sweet, feisty soul full of playful antics and a houndy tenacity—nose work is the perfect activity to keep them busy. Oh, and both parents often have a lot to say, whether it’s “Hey! Someone’s at the door!” or “Hey! My ball’s under the couch!” or “Hey! Look at that squirrel!” So slip into dog whisperer mode and learn their reasons for barking. Doxles are likely to live 10+ years, which means plenty of fun for years to come.

Dorgi (Dachshund Corgi Mix)

A corgi dachshund mix, also known as a dorgi, might have a parent that’s either a Cardigan Welsh corgi or Pembroke Welsh corgi. Either way, the low-ridin’ dedicated dorgi is a guaranteed delight, full of zazz and a go-go nature inherited from both parent breeds used to having jobs to do. Here’s one engaging idea for your dorgi: corgi and dachshund lovers frequently let their dogs loose on the racetrack. Honestly, if you haven’t witnessed the thrill of corgi racing or dachshund dashes, they’re a wonder to behold (and a laugh a minute!) And with a lifespan of 12 to 15 years, you’ll have years full of laughter.

Doxiepoo (Dachshund Poodle Mix)

The loveable and springy doxiepoo is a dachshund poodle mix with enough brain power to amaze everyone he meets. If you’re afraid to break the bank on dog toys and games (Ohhh, we’ve been there!) you’ll receive your return-on-investment tenfold when your doxiepoo zips through an agility course or empties a snuffle mat in record time. This crossbreed has surprising coat colors and textures, too, so keep a grooming kit handy and he’ll be Insta-ready in no time. Because of the poodle lineage, doxiepoos can live up to 18 years of age!

Golden Dox (Golden Retriever Dachshund Mix)

Combine the spunky love of a dachshund and the unwavering allegiance of a golden retriever, and you have a golden dox—not only beautiful, but kind and true. Golden retriever mixes are quite popular because they’re easy to train and have sweet dispositions and believe deep down in their doggie hearts that there’s no better place than where you are. As a result, children will love this mix, especially once they know they might be able to do cool things, like surf! Life expectancy for these pretty babies averages out to 12 to 14 years.

Daug (Dachshund Pug Mix)

Whassup, daug? Here’s when doggie parent genetics certainly provide a mixed bag of wonders. Will your puppy have a widdle pug underbite and the smooshed face of his brachycephalic ancestors? Or the long snout and velvety soft ears of his hound line? Who knows! But this might be a breed to consult a veterinarian about first just to tick all the health boxes. ‘Cause a daug might live 18 years, and that’s a loooong time to enjoy his impish good humor, affection, and languid ‘sniffaris’ at the dog park.

Dachsador (Dachshund Labrador Retriever Mix)

Call her a dachsador, call her a Labshund, just don’t call her late for dinner! A Labrador retriever mom or dad might pass along a golden, chocolate, or black coat, a fondness for swimming, and someone to play chess with (yep, they’re pretty smart). Crossing with a dachshund often results in a supremely loyal dog with a power-up energy pack, but as long as there are plenty of outdoor games and hard-to-defeat KONGS, there will also be a cozy cuddle puddle when the day is done.

Dorkie (Dachshund Yorkshire Terrier Mix)

Cuteness personified, a Yorkshire terrier is a precious toy dog breed with the heart of a lion. Thus your dorkie (Awww! We might prefer dachshire! Is that a thing?) could need regular spiff-ups to tame her lovely locks, or be sleek-coated for better burrowing. High-spirited, brainy, and ready for a blanket burrito anytime, she’ll also relish an opportunity to follow your lead learning tricks with plenty of positive reinforcement.

Jackshund (Jack Russell Terrier Dachshund Mix)

Speaking of liveliness, whooo boy, these two! Have you ever seen a Jack Russell terrier jump? Or dig? Or play? Don’t be fooled by the totally adorable fuzzy exterior and happy doggie smile—any offspring of this dachshund mix will have a smart mind, too, as hunting terriers and hounds are notoriously tenacious (some say stubborn) in their quest for everything! Become one with the Force, Luke, and seek the necessary training to channel their natural instincts and gain a solid understanding of their prey drive so together, you may rule the galaxy.

Schweenie (Shih Tzu Dachshund Mix)

By nature, the shih tzu—also known as ‘chrysanthemum-faced dog’ in her native China—is a tender lap pup with a sparkling personality. So with a schweenie, prepare for a hearty main course of adoration with a heaping side of snuggles and playing! Puzzle toys help pass the time, as will frequent romps in the backyard. Often a great kid-friendly canine, let the whole family get in on the fun of learning how to have a healthy relationship with her. So many heart emojis!

Docker (Dachshund Cocker Spaniel Mix)

Two spunky parents are better than one. With cocker spaniel and dachshund parentage, dog owners can look forward to a whip-smart, playful pup. And since cocker spaniels are nearly hypoallergenic, odds are good that your docker will be, too. Both breeds are also very friendly, so you can count on a new best friend. This dachshund mix is best suited for families with older children, though, since a high prey drive is likely.

Doxie Pom (Dachshund Pomeranian Mix)

You might need to stash a set of earplugs nearby with this dachshund mix. Pomeranians and dachshunds share a couple of traits: adorableness and vocalness. So if you’re looking for a small breed to talk about your day with, odds are your Doxie Pom will chime in. As far as looks, your Doxie Pom is likely to have a very boopable snoot and wiry coat. So long as you rake through their coat with a slicker brush or a brush and comb combo once a week, it should stay in great shape. What’s more is that both breeds have a double-digit life expectancy, so your little yapper is likely to be around for.a long time.

The Great Dox (Great Dane Dachshund Mix)

Wouldn’t that be a sight? Great Danes are one of the largest dog breeds in the world. And dachshunds? One of the smallest. The outcome is a medium-sized, double-coated doggo with a long body, short legs, and a boxy head. Despite their unique proportions, both breeds have minimal grooming needs, and the combination of both breeds is likely to yield an infrequent barker, if the Great Dane’s genes win out. Just make sure you do due diligence when it comes to researching both breeds’ health conditions. The good news? Mixed breeds are sometimes more resilient to medical issues.

Dachsweiler (Dachshund Rottweiler Mix)

Well, this is a surprise. Although you’re unlikely to see this dachshund mix out and about in the multitudes, here’s what you can expect from a Dachsweiler. A rottweiler parent is sure to beef up the dachshund’s lanky body with some muscles, making for medium-sized offspring. Both breeds are great for families, and their active energy levels make this hybrid a great walking companion. A Dachsweiler, much like a Great Dox, will be vocal when necessary but should bark a lot less than a purebred weenie.

Papshund (Papillon Dachshund Mix)

There is nothing better than a dachshund with the iconic butterfly ears of a papillon. A papshund is likely to be a stumpy dog, with the average height of their two parents totaling a whopping 8.5 inches tall, with a long-haired single coat. Although doxies don’t typically thrive in a multi-pet household, a papillon’s sweet demeanor might mellow out their counterpart’s territorial tendencies. And with that anxiety somewhat subdued, you can expect that this lap dog will be around for a while. Just make sure to give them a brush and clean their floofy ears every once in a while.
