Doxie is the affectionate nickname for Dachshund — and at rank 1298, this is almost certainly a registry artifact where owners filled in the breed nickname as the pet's given name. The Dachshund community in particular has embraced "Doxie" as a term of endearment for the breed, so owners frequently write it in name fields on forms without necessarily intending it as a formal name.
The Breed-Name Registration Pattern
This is the same pattern as Maltipoo at rank 1270 — a breed-associated term appearing in the name field of licensing databases because the owner either used the informal name out of habit or genuinely decided to name the dog after its breed type. The Dachshund breed page lists the names most Dachshunds actually go by — which run toward Pretzel, Wurst, Oscar, and other names that play on the breed's iconic shape.
If Doxie Is the Intended Name
As a genuine name choice, Doxie has a warm, affectionate quality. Two syllables, soft consonants, -ie ending that signals small and friendly. It functions as a loving inside-joke for Dachshund owners who are fully committed to the breed identity. Compare Weenie or Frank for the same self-aware Dachshund naming tradition.
The Honest Assessment
Whether Doxie is a name or a description depends entirely on the specific registration. Both interpretations are equally valid explanations for its presence in the registry at this rank. The 84 entries are real dogs; what their owners actually called them day-to-day is a different question than what appeared on the licensing form.
