Schweenie
Dachshund / Shih Tzu Mixed Breed Dogs
Information and Pictures

"Tanner is a Dachshund / Shih Tzu mix and

is around 10 months old in this picture. He
has the sweetest personality and is a joy to
be around. He loves everyone he meets
and is never fussy. He's funny and playful
but also wants to curl up beside me and
snuggle. He tends to favor me over my
husband always. He's my baby. He plays
well with our other dog, too. The only
behavioral issue with him is house training
and separation anxiety. Which may be
more of my fault than his."

Description

The Schweenie is not a purebred dog. It

is a cross between the Dachshund and
the Shih Tzu. 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.

"This is Sam as a 10-week-old puppy. She

is a Schweenie and is an absolute gem!!
She gets compliments from everyone as
she looks very unusual with her wee short
legs, lond body and big floppy ears."

"She is about 75% pad toilet trained and

has learnt not to cry but sleep during the
night. She is very active and loves attention
ie-games, cuddles and tummy tickles!! I am
very pleased with how quickly she has
picked up little commands such as sit, stay
and paw."

"This is Oscar and he is 9 months old. He's

weighed right at about 10 lbs. since
November so I think he's as big as he's
going to get!"

"His dad was the Dachshund and his mom

was the Shih Tzu. He has the most
adorable face that allows for him to get
away with too much!

"He is very loving and loves to cuddle, but

he can be independent, too, and
sometimes just wants to do his own thing!
He loves to play with my Beagle and
Dachshund and they wear each other out. I
keep him crated during the day when I'm
not home because he likes to chew on
things! I tried putting up a baby gate, but
he climbs up and over it!

"Crate training has gotten easier, but he still

has some separation anxiety. At first he
would cry nonstop (according to my
neighbors), but now he only cries when he
hears my husband and I inside if we don't
let him out right away.

"Potty training was a real chore at first, but

now he's a pro. He was already three
months old when I got him and I honestly
don't think his breeder ever took him
outside because he was scared to death of
the outdoors for the first three weeks we
had him.

"He is very intelligent and learns very

quickly. I taught him how to sit within
twenty minutes, but I think my other two
dogs helped by showing him how they get
their treats by sitting. He loves to eat and
he used to knock his bowl out of my hand
before I could even set it down. After only 2
nights of really working with him, I can now
put the bowl in front of him and he will not
eat until I tell him to.

"He tends to be pretty shy and timid

outside when meeting people, but if we let
someone in the house he is very outgoing
and friendly toward them. He loves to take
walks, but we have to watch him because
he likes to pick up random things and carry
them along."

"His hair grows rather quickly so we

generally take him to the groomer once
every month or two just to get his feet
groomed and a little trim. If we don't keep
him groomed he tracks leaves in almost
every time he goes outside. Even though
it's long, his hair rarely gets tangled and I
only have to brush it every couple weeks or
so. He is wonderful at the groomer and she
says he just sits there and lets her work on
him without a fight. When we bathe him at
home he does the same thing; just kind of
sits there waiting for it to be over.

"My husband and I feel very lucky to have

him in our lives. He brings us a lot of joy
with his adorable antics and his mischief!"

Julius the Schweenie at 4 years old- "Julius

was purchased as a pup. His mom was a
Shih Tzu and his dad was a Dachshund.
We thought he would be a good
companion for our purebred Shih Tzu
named Ceaser. He is an outstanding watch
dog, a playful, sweet Mommie's boy."

"This is Ace! He is 1 1/2 years old. He is so

adorable and sweet. He has been the
sweetest dog ever! He exercises everyday
by going for walks and runs. He cuddles
with you whenever you want him to. He is a
well-balanced dog and is on a good diet.
He does not shed, and house training was
a breeze! He is a watchdog, that's for sure.
We love little Ace so much!"

"This is a female Schweenie at 6 weeks old

named Lucy (LuLu). Her mother was a Shih
Tzu and her father was a miniature
Dachshund. So far, LuLu has been a very
well-behaved dog. She does not like to
tinkle in the house and will wait until I take
her out. She immediately goes potty and
gets a treat. She is very playful, teases the
other pets, and is wonderful with my
grandson. She has been quick to learn that
she cannot bite. She has also already
learned to stay in the crate without crying,
but I don't put her in there until she is ready
for a nap."
