The Doxie News doesn’t get it, but for whatever their reasons, there are people out there who don’t want a plain old Dachshund. They prefer a Dachshund mix, a wiener dog crossed with another dog breed. For this reason, we’ve put together a list of some of the most popular Dachshund crosses, otherwise known as designer wiener dogs. That’s a Chiweenie on the left.
Toy Rat Doxie/Toy Ratshund Terrier
This designer dog is recognized by the ACHC (American Canine Hybrid Club) as the Toy Rat Doxie and by the DDKC (Designer Dogs Kennel Club) as the Toy Ratshund Terrier. More information can be found here. And you can also watch this video of a two-day-old Toy Rat Doxie litter:
Basshund
The Basshund is a cross between two long and low-slung breeds — the Basset Hound and the Dachshund. It’s recognized by the ACHC and the DDKC (Designer Dogs Kennel Club), and more information can be found here.
Doxle
The Doxle is a Beagle/Dachshund mix that is recognized by the ACHC and the DDKC . More information can be found here
In this video, two Doxle litter mates are reunited:
Doxie-Chon
What do you get when you cross a Bichon Frisé and a Dachshund? A Doxie-Chon? We’re not sure where that name comes from either. You’ll have to ask the ACHC or the DDKC. Or look for more information here
Bo-Dach
Boston Terrier Cross Wirehaired Dachshund, originally uploaded by ditchdigger2008.
Cross a Boston Terrier and a Dachshund, and the results are wicked good. This mix is recognized by the ACHC and the DDKC . More information here
In this video, a brave little Bo-Dach plays with a Rottweiler:
Chiweenie
Nicknamed the Mexican Hotdog, the Chiweenie may very well be the most popular Dachshund mix of them all. Needless to say it’s recognized by the ACHC and the DDKC.
You can also check out Jäger, a feisty Chiweenie puppy:
Crestoxie
If you cross a Chinese Crested and Dachshund, the result — and it probably won’t be pretty — will be a Crestoxie. Nevertheless, it’s recognized by the ACHC and the DDKC. More information here.
Miniature English Bulldach
No one got too creative with the naming of the Miniature English Bulldach, which is what happens when you cross an English Bulldog and a Dachshund. The mix is recognized by the ACHC and the DDKC. There’s more information here
French Bull Wiener
If you prefer your Bulldogs French, then you’ll want a French Bull wiener (no relation to Dominique Strauss Kahn, btw). This mix is recognized by the ACHC. More information here.
Mauxie
Maltese plus Dachshund equals Mauxie with moxie. Recognized by the ACHC and the DDKC. More information here.
Here’s some Mauxie video as well:
To be continued as new and crazier Dachshund mixes emerge.
Of course you could always just opt for a plain vanilla Dachshund puppy.

Yesterday was one of our favorite events of the year – the 2009 Wiener Nationals in San Diego. Even though the heat was nearly 100 degrees, a record number of wiener dogs came out to compete – more than 330.
