7. Toy Rat Doxie (Dachshund x Rat Terrier)

Dachshund and Rat Terrier

The Toy Rat Doxie is an interesting hybrid with a pointy nose and an intelligent expression. They’re affectionate but can also be independent, so they shouldn’t get too upset if you need to spend a few long days at the office. They’re loving but often pick one family member to obey at the exclusion of others, so they can be difficult to raise in a large family.

8. Dach Griffon (Dachshund x Brussels Griffon)

Dachshund and Brussels Griffon

The Dach Griffon is one of the more attractive breeds on this list. They have the round, fluffy head of the Brussels Griffon that almost gives them a werewolf-like appearance.

10. Shibadox (Dachshund x Shiba Inu)

Dachshund and Shiba Inu

The Shibadox has short hair and large ears that make them resemble a cat in some ways. They’re happy pups with plenty of energy for playing games, and they need to run around for a while to prevent them from gaining weight.

11. Golden Dox (Dachshund x Golden Retriever)

Dachshund Golden Retriever

The Golden Dox has many similarities with the Golden Retriever but in a smaller package.

13. Bo Dach (Dachshund x Boston Terrier)

Dachshund and Boston Terrier

The Bo Dach is a low-energy dog and is better for smaller families that enjoy a lot of downtime. They love to sit on your lap or by your feet watching television.
