doxie
Long, low hound
Doxie is an informal term for a dachshund, the long-bodied, short-legged breed of dog: Look at that little doxie waddle.
The word is affectionate diminutive, common among breed enthusiasts and pet owners.
An older, unrelated sense—a promiscuous woman or mistress—is now rare and mostly encountered in historical texts.
