Pit bull and dachshund are their parents: the mix puppies look so cute!
Salamanca (USA) - When you think of mixed-breed dogs, this combination is certainly not on your radar: A woman from the USA shows on TikTok what happens when pit bulls and dachshunds mate.
On her TikTok profile, Bailey Redeye asks her viewers: "Ever wondered what a mix of pit bull and dachshund would look like?" Thanks to her video, the answer follows promptly. In the clip, you can see two of the mixed-breed puppies romping around.
You can see at first glance from the black and white dogs' faces that one of their parents is an American Pit Bull Terrier. The muzzle, ears and nose definitely come from the recognized dog breed from the USA.
However, if you look at their body, it becomes clear that a much smaller breed of dog was involved in this mix. Similar to a dachshund, the puppy's body is rather elongated and has the characteristic short legs of the basset hound.
On TikTok, opinions about the mixed breed puppies are divided.
Mixed breeds of this type are known under the names "Dox-Bull" or "Doxie-Pit"
While many users find the four-legged friends cute or also own a pit bull-dachshund mix, others condemn the breeder for his endeavor. "They are so cute, but whoever bred these dogs needs to be put down immediately," explains one user in the comments section.
Others wonder how the mating between the two dissimilar parents must have gone.
According to Hunde-Zentrale.com , the puppies in Bailey's video are not an isolated case and mixed breeds of this type are known under the names "Dox-Bull", "Doxie-Bull" or "Doxie-Pit".
However, prospective buyers should be aware that the pit bull-dachshund mix needs careful training before a purchase, which could be challenging due to the stubborn and stubborn character traits of the dachshund. In addition, the mixed breeds can have an extremely high energy level and need a lot of exercise in everyday life.
On the positive side, however, they are loyal to their owners and highly intelligent.
