Alex Dachshund, also known as Alex Doxie or Alex Wienerdog, now currently SleepyChi (born October 4, 1989), is a non-binary fursuiter and furry artist living in Tallahassee, Florida, U.S.A. Their original fursona was an androgynous dachshund. Their current fursona is now currently a Chihuahua named Jordan.

Alex first discovered the fandom at age 14 in 2004, while on an obscure fanart site. Even at an early age, Alex has always found anthropomorphic animals quite fascinating, even drawing animals with human-like qualities at age five and attempting to dress-up as them. Alex moved from North Carolina to Florida in September 2016.

Alex created their fursona in 2009 and the character has gone through many changes since then. As of 2019, Alex is no longer their fursona, but they still own and use the character. Their fursona is updated and is now a Chihuahua named Jordan.

In October 2016, they dated Hope, a black wolf with flaming appendages and then as of currently, MekVyper, a tiger/dragon hybrid and they eventually became engaged in December 2017 while at Midwest FurFest. Alex owns two dogs, a male Chihuahua/terrier mix named Nikko, and a female dachshund mix named Xandra. Their other dog, Xandir, died back in 2021.

Alex regularly attends eastern furry conventions such as Furry Weekend Atlanta, Megaplex, and Midwest FurFest.

Characters and Fursuit[edit]

Alex is a miniature tan and cream Dachshund with medium-length fur and brown nose and pawpads. They have dark brown hair with magenta bangs. Alex is usually seen wearing a black neck tie, and earrings in their floppy ears, while sometimes wearing a purple shirt with turquoise stripes. Alex has jokingly been referred to as a "scenedog on ritalin" due to their lack of bright colors. Alex's personality is friendly, playful, and mischievous.

The first Alex fursuit was made by Lobito Works in 2010. A second fursuit, made by Phoenixwolf33, was commissioned in 2012, and the latest and current suit was made by Lupe Suits, commissioned in 2018. The Lobito Works fursuit is officially retired and has been altered and sold as a generic dog suit in 2013 to Gazi, who has renamed her Lacey.

As of 2019, Alex is officially no longer their fursona, and Jordan the Chihuahua is now their current fursona. Jordan is a brown chihuahua with purple accents, and wears a purple collar and glasses. Alex is still around, being used as the mascot for their art business.

Alex Dachshund's fursuit characters that they created also have their own accounts include:

  • Super Nintendog, a Black and Tan Coonhound modeled after the Super Nintendo Game System.
  • Lorenz, a Dachshund/Doberman/Rottweiler mix.
  • Bandit Ferret, a ferret.
  • Arcade Wild Dog, a retro arcade-themed African wild dog.
  • Daytona Beagle, a Beagle.
