About Dexter
🎄🐾 Dexter — A Little Dog with a Big Personality 🐾🎄
Meet Dexter, a delightful young chap who just happens to have been born on Christmas Day 2024 — and he truly is a gift!
This charming little fellow is a Foxy x Dachshund, weighing just 8.9 kgs, making him a perfect compact companion with a whole lot of love (and fun!) packed into a small package.
Interestingly, his microchip record says there's Poodle in his breed mix… although if it’s there, we’re still trying to work out exactly where it’s hiding! Whatever the combination, the end result is one very adorable and unique little dog.
Dexter is bright as a button and full of life. He’s an active, playful young dog who approaches everything with enthusiasm and curiosity. Whether it’s playtime, exploring the backyard or simply being part of the action, Dexter is always ready to join in.

✔ Mini Poodle x Foxy x Dachshund (allegedly!)
✔ 8.9 kgs
✔ Bright, clever and eager to engage
✔ Friendly and very people-focused
✔ Loves other dogs
✔ Good with cats
✔ Sweet, playful and simply delightful
Dexter thrives on companionship and interaction. He’s the kind of dog who wants to be involved in whatever you’re doing — whether that’s a walk, a play session, or just relaxing together at home.
🏡 What Dexter is looking for:
✔ A home where he can be part of the family
✔ Regular exercise and playtime
✔ Ongoing guidance and engagement for his clever mind
✔ Another friendly dog would be a bonus, but not essential
Dexter is a happy, affectionate and engaging young dog who will bring energy, fun and companionship into the right home.
If you’re looking for a small dog with a big heart and an even bigger personality, Dexter could be your perfect match 💙
