At one time in England (according to “Dogs” by Desmond Morris), the Dachshund was known as the Beagle Terrier for reasons we can’t fathom. These days, it’s often called the Dachshie, and you all would be well advised to spell that word as you see it, and not as “Doxie” since the dictionary tells us that a “Doxie” is slut, floozy, hussy, tramp, trollop, hoochie – well, you get the idea. Friends don’t let friends spell the “D” word the wrong way. Just saying.

Don’t we all call our bitches names like slut, floozy, tramp, etc? If that’s the case, then I believe we *all* own (or have owned) “Doxies” ……
I have a four and a half month old puppy bitch now. I live in a rural area with lots of hunting dogs running loose. I’m not looking forward to the first time she becomes a “Doxie.” 😛
LOL, Heather, good point!
