It's from a story I read many years ago, so naturally my schooling kicked in
and I had to look up that word, the plural of which is doxies.

Can't say I've heard them called that.  My daughter had a Chaweenie (half
dachshund, half Chihuahua).  A very sweet dog.  I used to sit in the yard
watching her teach her pups to fight while at the same time disbelieving what I
 was seeing.  Maybe I misinterpreted what I was seeing, but that is what it
looked like.

I'm a fan of German shepherds.  I had one for 14 years.
