The Golden Dachs, also known as the Golden Dox, has a distinctly adorable nickname: The Golden Weiner Dog. Showing the long body of the Dachshund and the beautiful coat and coloring of the Golden Retriever, this stunning designer dog breed is sure to turn heads! The coat of the Golden Dachs may exhibit qualities of both long and short haired versions of the Dachshund. It may also feature qualities more similar to the wavy coat of the Golden Retriever.
Fully grown, the Golden Dachs will stand between 10 to 23 inches tall and weigh anywhere from 30 to 60 pounds. Their life expectancy is approximately 10 to 14 years. Because of the hunting ancestry of both parent breeds, the Golden Dachs may be prone to chasing smaller pets. To prevent anything tragic from occurring, and to ensure your Golden Dachs receives lots of exercise, make sure it's chasing a ball instead!
