Token the Mauxie (Dachshund / Maltese mix) at 1 year and 3 months old—she weighs 7.5 pounds in this picture.
The Mauxie is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Dachshund and the Maltese. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.
"Harley, our Dachshund / Maltese puppy at 6 months old is the sweetest dog ever! He has a great temperament and is extremely smart, not to mention spoiled rotten! His father was Maltese and mother Dachshund."
