More About This Dog Breed:
Doxiepoos can have a range of fur colors, including white, cream, gray, black, and brown. Doxiepoos are mixed breed dogs. They are not purebreds like their Dachshund or Poodle parents.

While the Poodle has been extremely popular in America since post-World War II, Poodle hybrids have come into vogue primarily in the last two decades. The Doxiepoo first became popular in the 2000s.

Both parent breeds can tend to bark a lot, so it's important to start training as early as possible to temper this habit.

Doxiepoo with Children And Other Pets:
Doxiepoos generally do well with children and adults, though they may bark a lot when they first meet them. Doxiepoos tolerate gentle behavior from children very well, and they have a very loving relationship. Doxiepoos prefer to be the only pet in a home, but they can get along with other dogs or animals if they are socialized at an early age.
