Hi. We are new to the group. My husband, 3 youngest children (age 9), and I currently have 4 dogs. Honey is a Sheltie and sweet as sweet can be! Lance is a blue chihuahua and was very, very jealous of the Doxie babies until recently. The 'babies' are Dox-Chihuahua mix. They are brother and sister, red, 6 months old, and just adorable!
We have never had a doxie in the family before so we are learning daily. Nala von Weinerschnitzel (Nala) is very mild-mannered, but playful. She looks mostly doxie to me, but shows more of the chi physical characteristics than her bro - such as light markings on her face. Oscar M. Weiner (Oscar) is red with a bit of black on his tail, etc. He is a big-time talker!
Is the 'talking' common in doxies? We think it is hilarious! If anyone other than our son (his favorite person) picks Oscar up, he immediately starts talking about it. He also complains and sometimes even screams at anyone at the vet's office. Oscar loves to run & play, loves to relax on the couch, and gets very involved in watching television - especially if is a dog on the program. Seriously.
Nala is a sweetheart and has more of the 'typical' dog personality.
Last month at the vet's office, they weighed 7 lbs. I'm guessing they weigh between 8-9 lbs now. When will their growth be complete?
