A Doxiepoo is a mixed breed dog that is a product of breeding a Dachshund with a Poodle. However, this is not the only way to get them. They are one of the few mixes that are also successfully produced by breeding 2 of the intended mixed breeds, which in this case would be a pair of Doxiepoos. The Dachshund Poodle Mix is also one of the most unpredictable designer dogs when it comes to appearance. More often than not, they take after the Dachshund’s build and the Poodle’s coat traits. Other features like the size, temperament, and health issues are a mix of both contributing bloodlines.
The English Cream Dachshund is a type of Dachshund identified by the cream or golden brown color of their coats. It is due to the expression of the recessive chinchilla gene that is also known as the blonde gene. It mainly affects Dachshunds with red coats and spares brown or black ones. Other than the difference in coat color, the temperament, build, and health status of an English cream are the same as those of regular Dachshunds.
A Golden Dox is a mixed-breed dog from breeding a Golden Retriever and a Dachshund. Due to the size difference, the mother has to be a Golden Retriever for a safer pregnancy and delivery.

Dachshunds are known for having a very clingy personality. It is therefore not always comfortable for them to be left alone at home. They also tend to suffer from separation anxiety. This is in part due to their personalities but also due to specific history in terms of separation from their litters. This further complicates matters and leads to outbursts in the form of destruction of your property, insistent barking, and crying when they are left alone. If you want to leave your dachshund home without incident, you will have to train them from a young age and leave them with enough stuff to keep them occupied.
