The “Doxie” has some very terrier-like tendencies, including a certain amount of stubbornness and tenacity. They are an intelligent and sometimes excitable dog that loves to play and play tricks on their owners. While a good pet for families, their size and the possibility of back injuries may not make them suitable for introducing while children are very small. Their hunting ancestors have left them with a legacy for digging and barking. © DogDecor.com
