What’s My Dog’s Breed Name?

A cross between a Dachshund and a German Shepherd Dog is a mixed breed.

By Allan Reznik

Q. My dog Roxie is a Dachshund mixed with a German Shepherd Dog. What is his breed name?

A. No need to make up a silly, “designer dog” name. Roxie is a mixed breed, part Dachshund and part German Shepherd Dog, just as a “Goldendoodle” is a mixed breed as well, part Golden Retriever and part Poodle. Crossing different breeds together and giving them catchy names doesn’t make the offspring purebreds.

Hope you and Roxie have a great summer.
