Tips for Raising a Happy Mini Doxie

Early socialization with various people, pets, and situations helps puppies develop into well-adjusted adults. These dogs are confident and bold, adaptable to various living situations, determined and persistent, and social with proper socialization. You can select a sleek short-haired appearance with simple maintenance needs or a beautiful flowing appearance with attentive maintenance needs. Training requires patience because they're intelligent but also independent thinkers who sometimes prefer their own approach. Their versatile nature makes them suitable for apartments, houses, condos, or any home environment. Back health protection includes ramps or steps, preventing excessive jumping, and maintaining proper weight throughout their life. They're under 12 pounds when fully grown, making them easy to manage. Daily exercise of 25 to 40 minutes keeps them physically healthy and mentally satisfied. They're often seen in both solid and patterned coats across the breed.
