Owning A Doxiepin Dog Is Like Owning A Dachshund Dog

Some people have asked if owning a doxiepin dog is like owning a dachshund dog.  I don't know about owning a dachshund dog, but owning a doxiepin dog is such a wonderful blessing.  They are such a great type of breed to have and own.  Doxiepins have the docile and timid behavior features like dachshunds (also known as "doxies", "wiener dogs" or "sausage dogs"). They are shy and extremely loyal to their owners. Doxies can also be stubborn and as Anze is part doxie, he definitely has a little bit of stubborn in him.  For example, when you call his name, he will only "come" if he wants to come, or if you try to take his picture, and he knows he doesn't want to take one, he will purposefully not look to ruin the picture.

Anze has a long body like a dachshund.

Dachshunds can also be very sensitive which Anze got this gene for sure!  If you own a dachshund or a doxiepin you have to be care of their sensitivity emotions and feelings. When Anze knows he's done something wrong he will get the look and a stern tone from his Mommy and Daddy letting him know they are aware of what he has done. He will turn his head away from them in shame and not look them in the eyes.  He will then crawl under the couch and whimper knowing he has done something wrong.  Anze's Mommy and Daddy have to go lure him out to let him know everything will be OK, and that he can't do his bad behavior ever again.

Anze has a big broad chest like a dachshund.

Doxies are very smart and intelligent dogs.  They are almost "too smart" for their own good.  They also like to dig and burrow underneath the covers. So if you own a dachshund or doxiepin, make sure you have a lot of blankets and covers for them to bury themselves in.

Anze loves to snuggle and bury in his blanket and covers. 

Dachshunds are a very popular breed and they have long bodies and short legs with a broad chest. This can lead to spinal problems and other health issues.  Doxies are also prone to genetic health issues such as epilepsy, central nervous system disease, dental issues, thyroid problems and various eye conditions. Due to these type of injuries, when you own a dachshund or doxiepin, you want to make sure that they are active and get plenty of exercise to make sure they keep their joints and muscles active.  As Anze is a doxiepin he has a somewhat longer body but he has taller legs (which he gets from the miniature pinscher traits from him).  Doxiepins also have floppy ears like dachshunds.
