After owning Sadie for a couple of years, we realized two things: we loved doxie-poos, discovering this NEW breed was a wondrous surprise, and we HAD to have another. We really wanted to find another doxie-poo for Sadie to pal around with. She really needed a little friend for all the time we spent away at work.
The searching started in 2002. We thought it would be a simple task, we would just give Deana, the breeder where we found Sadie, a call and tell her we were heading down to look for a 2nd doxie-poo. That would have been easy if Deana hadn't gone missing. We tried everything short of hiring Kojak to locate her. She had vanished. So we started pouring through the classifieds, hawking online sites and phoning breeders all over the country, but no one had any doxie-poos.
People had "heard of" these kinds of dogs back then, but no one had one readily available to adopt. The search went on and on for years. Until 2004, when we spied an online classified ad from a breeder in Kansas who had some doxie-poos available. We were thrilled.
We saw some photos of the litter and chose one. The smallest pup of the litter. We ordered her online, had her shipped on a plane and within weeks, we were the proud owners of our 2nd doxie-poo pup, Moxie.
If someone would have told me back in the 20th Century that I would soon order a doxie-poo online, I would have had many, many questions..
Moxie and Sadie together today...

We love our doxiepoos too! Ours are 6 months apart (2 and 2 ½). I have pictures on my Facebook page if you're interested.
We bought Roxie, the older one, here in Washington. We had such a hard time finding a breeder for the second one that we flew Josie in from Iowa. We've even thought about a 3rd, but the Iowa breeder's website is gone.
