Dachsador Activity Requirements

The Dachsador is a hybrid dog, a cross between a purebred Doberman Pinscher and a purebred Dachshund. They are commonly referred to as Doxies. As a cross between two very active, intelligent breeds, the Doxie requires a significant amount of exercise and mental stimulation. A Doxie does best in a home with an active owner. They require a fenced yard where they can run around and play. Long walks, jogs or runs are also good ways to keep Doxies happy. An apartment is not an ideal living situation for a Doxie. While they don’t require as much space as a Doberman, they do require adequate room to run around. Doxies also do best with adult-only households, as small children can be too rough and frighten them.
