Dear Mary,
My beloved dog, Sammy, is a mix of long haired doxsie and King Charles Spaniel. He is one of the best things that ever happened to me! I rescued him from the pound a little over 2 years ago on my birthday. I have 2 teenagers so I need my doggie to make me feel loved (my husband is pretty good, but nothing beats the welcome a dog gives you when you come in the door after a long day at work).
I did have a short haired pure bred doxsie that passed away when he was only one and a half from congenital problems,

I loved him dearly but he was not always very well behaved!! (He was a yapper!!) His name was Oscar Meyer and I still miss him.
I love doxsies!! do you have a picture?
Take care, Sandy
