Breed Information

Overview

The Dachshund Mix is not a purebred dog. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and understand that you can get any combination of the characteristics found in either breed.

The Dachshund Mix is a cross between a Dachshund and another dog breed. Since a mix can end up with any combination of traits from one or both of the parent breeds, it’s important that you talk to the breeder about the other parent breed in the cross.

Should a Dachshund Mix take after their Doxie parent, they will be a small, lively dog with a high prey drive, a friendly nature, and a big personality that also makes a great family pet. Knowing more about the other parent breed can give you a better idea about what to expect in a Dachshund Mix.

Temperament

Dachshunds are intelligent dogs with a spunky, outgoing personality. They tend to do well with children, but they are also naturally wary of strangers. They are prone to barking and will alert you to people or animals on the property. They also tend to be friendly towards other dogs, but will need some extra socialization with smaller pets in the household because of their high prey drive. Because the other parent breed will contribute traits that could potentially affect temperament, you do want to make sure you ask the breeder about them. You can also meet the mother dog to see what sort of temperament she has been modeling for her puppies. However, once you get a puppy home, it’s up to you to continue training and socializing them into a well-rounded dog.
