Little Tobi has been with us a full week now and every day I continue to be amazed by him. I have owned dogs for the past 75 years, sometimes one often two. I have had some pretty good ones, but I have never enjoyed any of them more than this little 7 1/2 lb pup who has just kind of touched our hearts. He amuses us 24/7. He seldom ever wears down, but when he does he is the most loving, docile little fellow you could ever want to be around. Smart as a whip. He inherited a basket full of puppy toys and he adores everyone of them He will go to the basket and bring you one of the toys. Every time you throw it he will retrieve it and bring it back to you every time. More amusing is that a number of the stuffed toys squeak and he has learned how to bite each one of them so it squeals the loudest. He will stand on his hind legs even without treats. He just wants to please us and he doesn’t need a treat to be persuaded to do anything. Seldom ever an indoor accident. After just one week he will wee and poop outside 95 percent of the time. He is starting to communicate a desire to go outside and I recognize most of his signals. He is starting to understand a few of the things I tell him and I think it is just a matter of time before he understand most of what I say to him. If I had to pay for the entertainment he has given us, I probably couldn’t afford it. Sincere Thanks and Kind Regards

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.

Hi guys, Punky is doing very well! He is such a wonderful and smart little guy! Sometimes too smart…Wanted to send you some pictures to check in! I will send more soon!

Hi Jake, Wishing you and Josh a Happy New Year. We absolutely adore our sweet Sophia. She’s 6mos old and a dream dog who has fit into our family so perfectly. We wanted to thank you again for this wonderful dog.  Sincerely, Larissa

Our girl, Finnick (Finny), is doing great! She just had her 10 week vaccine appointment yesterday and was all healthy. We have just had the best two weeks with her! She is beginning to become great friends with our other dog and they are inseparable. Here’s some update photos!

Hi Jake I thought I would send you some photos of Cooper (one of Opal & Day Dreamers pups) born 2/20/22! He’s such a great, smart & happy little boy, today he’s 4 mos old. He loves fetching & actually brings back his toys to us plus knows how to sit on command.

Hi Jake It was a pleasure meeting you and your son today. Thank you so much for letting us visit. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with you and your son, as well as the next member of our family !!!! Your amazing knowledge of dachshunds and breeding, and your wiliness to share a little bit of that knowledge with us was very much appreciated. We could have stayed and talked to you all day. We are very excited and can hardly wait to bring our new little one home to meet her new “big brother” Jameson. We are looking forward to getting updates on her progress. Thank you so much for sharing part of your busy day with us.

Hi Jake and Josh! We wanted to wish you both a Merry Christmas and give you an update on Panko (Valerie’s Cream Male). He is doing really well and has acclimated to our daily routines. We think he’s about 99% potty trained. He rings the bell by the door to let us know he needs to go out to do his business. We also have him sleeping in the crate at night since Thanksgiving and we have put away the x-pen. Panko loves the water and thinks he’s a retriever. ?? Have a safe and joyful Christmas!

Thank you so much for this little dude- we have no regret driving 14 hours to pick him up. He is strong, healthy, handsome, never had any health-related issues so far. he was the best thing that happened to me, I love him and want to share some of his cute moments with you. I also gave him a Chinese name 俞大壮, which means big and strong, I hope he will be part of our family for many years to come.

Hi! Just thought I’d say hi. We have named the little guy Lazlo. He is doing great. So much fun. Doesn’t like being alone but he’s adjusting really well. He’s sleeping in at least 4 hour increments and somehow we tired him out so much playing he slept until 5:30 am Sunday. I think we just got lucky, but he is doing really good. We love him to pieces. Hope you had a great weekend! Thank you again!
