‘Fun-loving’ and ‘intelligent’ were the two qualities we thought of when creating Huxley. His sleek body shape was perfect for a door knocker so our main challenge was to capture the infamous Dachshund personality in our design. We decided on an alert, lying position, with head slightly tilted as though ready to pounce on uninvited visitors! With his head up, he looks you directly in the eye. He’s serious but those gorgeous droopy ears make him hopelessly cute. Weighing in at a hefty 820g, Huxley gives you fair warning when someone’s at your door.
What we love…
- Beautiful droopy Dachshund ears
- Focus on the head and expression showing a loving and courageous nature
- Concealed fixing bracket
- Looks beautiful from front and side
- Perfect for any Dachshund lover
Fitting your dachshund door knocker
Huxley is a surface-mounted brass door knocker. Easy to install, our custom-designed fitting bracket will ensure it stays firmly in place on your front door. As it is surface mounted, there will be no nuts or bolts seen protruding on the inside of your front door. Our door knockers are suitable for wood doors as well as solid core composite doors and all screws and fittings are supplied.
FINISH OPTIONS
Aged Brass
A vintage appearance is achieved using a natural chemical-free patination process. A clear sealant is applied which protects your door knocker and prevents it from tarnishing. This is a thin and durable coating that, unlike a lacquer, will not crack or peel. It also gives protection against acid rain and salt air. No need for metal cleaning products, just wipe with a soft cloth periodically.
Polished Brass
Our polished door knockers show brass in its natural state. After casting they are highly polished until very bright and shiny. This finish can be maintained using a metal cleaner and soft brush or if left unpolished your door knocker will tarnish and age naturally. If you’d like your door knocker to remain highly polished without regular cleaning, we can add our protective sealant. Please let us know by making a note at checkout.
Raven Black
We apply a patina to the brass which creates a soft black finish that has a matt appearance. The brass is baked and the colour is left to mature before we add our sealant to protect the finish. Little maintenance is required, just wipe periodically with a soft cloth.
Satin Silver
We use a metal plating process over the brass to achieve a stylish silver with a matt finish. Our sealant is applied to protect the finish. Little maintenance is required, just wipe periodically with a soft cloth and warm soapy water

The Dachshund Door Knocker is lovely - a present from our dachshunds for Fathers' Day - I'm sure he will love it!! Thank you
I’m so happy with our dachshund door knocker. It’s exceeded our expectations and the level of detail is unmatched. We went with the polished brass and the cast really does capture the character of dachshunds. Even the packaging is of great quality and a nice touch. Definitely recommend. Thank you Adams and Mack!
This arrived from the UK to Tasmania so quickly that I was amazed. It is absolutely beautiful, and everyone admires it. Thank you!
Love the dachshund door knocker! Looks like our Lola. It will be a charming greeter when we have visitors come to our home. Solid piece !
Apparently you can, we love our dachshund door knocker, the quality is amazing and it is really heavy. I must admit that my husband thought I was crazy paying £150 for a door knocker but even he is impressed. Would definitely recommend 🥰
Beautifully made - just perfect ❤️
