Docker

The Docker, also known as the Doxie Spaniel, combines the spirited personality of the Dachshund with the gentle, affectionate nature of the Cocker Spaniel. First intentionally bred in the late 1990s, this designer dog has gained popularity as a loving family companion. Dockers typically inherit the elongated body of the Dachshund with the soft, wavy coat of the Cocker Spaniel, creating an irresistibly cute combination.

Care Tips for Dockers

Tip #1

Back Care: Dockers may inherit the Dachshund's long spine, making them prone to intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). Avoid jumping on/off furniture and use ramps instead of stairs.

Tip #2

Ear Maintenance: The floppy Spaniel ears require weekly cleaning to prevent infections. Check for moisture, odor, or redness that could indicate problems.

Tip #3

Moderate Exercise: Dockers need 30-45 minutes of daily exercise. Short walks and play sessions suit them well—avoid activities that strain their backs.
