Hi Jake and Josh! I wanted to give you an update after several days with the pup! I have been so impressed with how relaxed and sweet she is. I’ve never seen a puppy of any kind that is so laid back and friendly up front! We have gone out on several walks (her in a bag) and she has been doing great getting used to the sights and sounds of SF. She has met some of my friends as well and is very happy to meet new people and be held by them. As you said, the first few days she wasn’t into eating her kibble without the appetite stimulant. I would say that by Friday she started showing interest in treats (her kibble) as a positive reinforcement. She was very mellow that first day but by halfway through Wed her spunk and active personality has come through! She loves to play and run around. I have a couple of chewy toys for her but she also likes an old t-shirt and socks. She sleeps just as hard as she plays too. I got an X-pen for her, so we play there a lot. When I have to leave the apartment for a minute to do something, she has been pretty good in the X-pen. Sometimes she cries a bit and others it’s like I never left. She definitely likes to see me/be near me pretty much at all times, unless she is sniffing around! She has been an excellent night-time sleeper too! She has been going to bed around 9/10 pm or so and wakes up between 5-6:30 am, sometimes sleeps through the night, and other times she will wake me up once in the middle of the night. She figured out how to use the bathroom on the potty pads very quickly and had no problem with that which was also a pleasant surprise to me! I will say she has been quite bitey on skin and fingers, which is of course normal for puppies, but do you have any best practices for that? As for her coloring- I would say she has maybe gotten a tad lighter on the top of her head. I’ll have to look at some photos from last week. She has been shedding a bit! Thank you so much!

I wanted to send you some pictures of the most wonderful and sweet baby I bought from you. She was one of your Nov. babies from 2020. Dad I think was Chance ?? She has grown so much and is definitely bigger than my mini dachshund Gootzie. She has been by my side through my break up I went through 2 years ago. She and Gootzie are the light of our lives and have brought so much joy my son and my life. Thank for the best little girl ever?? I hope we can stay in touch. I have to say your one of the best breeders I’ve ever found thank you so very much.

Hi Josh and Jake, I got Doc from you guys on August 1 from Suzanna and Ritz litter. I just wanted to update you about how he is doing! He is the sweetest boy, and everyone always comments on how calm he is for 6 months! I have included some pictures of him – hope you all are having a great holiday.

Someone won’t be having a Blue Christmas. Hope is adjusting well. She loves eating whipped cream out of the spray can with her siblings and is now challenging the Mastiff on the other side of the fence when she gets a chance. She used to run for the hills, but now she is mighty and fierce as long as no person is on the other side of the fence as well. She can now catch food coming her way, Yum. She is dawning a Jingle bell collar til’ New Years, as is the Butcher tradition for all canines from Thanksgiving day on. Hope you have a great Holiday season. Still progressing in her social skills with still a ways to go. We meet up with Matt and Hootie often. Take care, Donna and Hope Diamond Doodle Bug.

Hey guys, Henry and Donna here. Fig is doing great.

Hi Jake These 2 love each other. Inseparable. Fighter biter play.

In honor of Memphis’s first birthday wanted to give you an update. Our family couldn’t love this happy boy more. He is so loved and we enjoy having him every day.

Hi Jake + Josh, Jackson is settling in well with Walter + Izzy.

When I saw your name, I thought it was you! Wow. I can’t tell you what an amazing disposition Ophelia (Ophie) has and how lucky I am. She’s the biggest hit everywhere she goes and makes everyone smile. She’s THE BEST!!!! She is such a beautiful and loving dog, and very well trained and socialized, and pretty much comes everywhere with me. She was always able to be off leash in safe places because she has fantastic recall, and was easy to train (I spent a lot of time on that- very important to me). Now that she’s going to be 15 Jan 1st she’s deaf and her sight is going a bit, but she’s still cooking and very busy and I still get stopped and told how beautiful/cute she is all the time. Her nickname is Bridget Bardot. Thank you for bringing so much joy into my life 14, almost 15 years ago!!

Hey Jake, Just wanted to thank you and you family again. Plupo is fitting right in and has be amazing from day 1. Hope you all have a happy holidays!
