Meet the Schnoxie – A Spirited Blend of Schnauzer and Dachshund

The Schnoxie brings together two clever, confident breeds — pairing the Schnauzer’s sharp mind and wiry coat with the Dachshund’s curious, loyal spirit. This small-to-medium hybrid is known for its alert expression, lively personality, and deeply affectionate nature.

Schnoxies tend to be active, intelligent, and moderately vocal — making them wonderful companions for those who enjoy training, play, and close connection. Whether you’re drawn to their scruffy good looks or their big-dog-in-a-small-body energy, the Schnoxie is a mix that adapts well to a variety of homes and routines.
