Hello! First vet appointment and second shots today- Smokey is a delight and fitting right in the family! He is either getting up once or not at all at night for potty, and is such a good boy about sleeping in the crate at night. Will keep you posted as he grows- we all love him!

Hi Jake and Josh Little Elsa’s nose is fading. Not so black anymore. She is outside more for daily walks now that the smoke is gone. She hates cars going by. In the back yard she does her sit stay etc well, but is too afraid to do them out front on walks. Too distracted. She walks pretty well on lead but is scared. she will get use to it with daily exposure, she was shaking at first. Now just nervous. She is a good girl. Sweet. Beautiful. We brought her inside to the den with Clover 2 nights ago. She is doing ok. First night we had to tell her quiet go to bed 3 times during the night. Last night she Slept till she heard Walter get up. We have a noise machine in the room and we put a heartbeat puppy in with her last night. It seemed to help. We are glad she is inside.

Hello Jake this is Vicky from Nevada City I’m sure that you have a lot of people from Nevada City who have your dogs because I see them all around now that I have Gussy I don’t know if you remember we were going to get a long hair and I changed my mind and then I called you back and you gave me the little blonde English cream and I named her Gussy and I just wanted to thank you again because she has turned into the love of my life she is the most wonderful dog she goes everywhere with me she has even gone to Phoenix on airplane I was thinking about you I have referred you to many many many people as a very wonderful breeder and I thought that I just would let you know that and tell you thank you again for one of the most wonderful things that’s ever happened to me in my life. PS I have attached a couple of pictures that I have of her on my Facebook she’s getting a little more golden and I even am seeing some little spotty spots that looks so cute thank you again.

Hello Jake, and best wishes for a good new year to come! Thought I’d let you know how we’re doing with our first dachshund. Since we’ve always had herding dogs we are often surprised by Baxter’s reaction to things but we are learning that it’s all about the nose for him? At 9 mos and 14 lbs, our vet thinks he’s about done growing, very sturdy and muscular. He has a lovely coat, nice dentition and bite as well. We take him everywhere and another surprise was how many people would come up to tell us they have or had a dachshund, or know someone who does, and share their opinion of them. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of middle ground – people either think they’re the most wonderful dogs ever or they don’t like them much. When we first got Baxter it was a bit scary to have that negative input – impossible to potty train, don’t like people much, inclined to be snappy, dig and bark incessantly, don’t get along with other dogs, etc. Since NONE of that is true about our little guy I just laugh now and let those folks see for themselves how awesome he is! Baxter is awesome. Healthy, loving, handsome, playful, comical and yes, a bit spoiled because he’s so darn cute we just can’t help ourselves!

Hi Jake and Josh! Just wanted to send some photos of our little Franklin. He has adjusted very well to his new home! He’s a super sweet little guy who absolutely loves to be cozy and cuddle more than anything. We love him so much! Thank you!!!
