Mauxie - Maltese Dachshund Mix

AKA: The Moxie Dog

Mauxie - GracieMauxie - Gracie

The Maltese Dachshund mix, also called a Mauxie or Moxie dog, is a cross between a Dachshund and a Maltese.

They are a unique, little Maltese dog breed mix that comes in all shapes and sizes and is rare to find.

Please do not purchase these dogs from a breeder. There is no need to create more mutts when plenty are available for adoption. If you discover a Maltese mix that would fit well with your family, you can easily adopt one at a Maltese Dog Rescue instead (and for a lot less money)!

Mauxie Personality

Dachshund Maltese Mix - SnickersDachshund Maltese Mix - Snickers

These dogs take on the temperament of both Dachshunds and Maltese. They are lively, affectionate, and bold little dogs.

  • Curious and mischievous
  • Difficult to train
  • Compulsive barker
  • Likes to dig
  • Great travel dogs
  • Good watchdogs

These dogs do best with older, considerate children as they are moderately protective and sometimes quick to bite. Most people find them to have a willful and clownish personality.

If you like a wide variety of colors and a unique shape, than this Maltese mix might be right for you!

Dachshunds may be solid-colored tan or yellow or bi-colored deep black, brown, or gray with areas of bright chestnut. There are also piebald, speckle-streaked, or harlequin varieties.

When you mix this with a white Maltese, you get varying shades and patches of color. You might say that they are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.

Hair is usually straight and long. Therefore, they need daily combing and brushings. Some will shed, while others will not. Since Dachshunds come in many sizes (Toy, Miniature, and Normal), full grown Dachshund Maltese mixes can weigh anywhere from 6-15lbs.
