Hope everyone at Songcatcher is doing well and enjoying the spring weather! Baxter turned a year old this week and I thought I’d send a new picture. Looks pretty comfortable, doesn’t he? He was excited to get a 6 pack of his favorite Lamb Chop squeaky toys, and a handsome new collar. He got a new chew bone too, but it’s hard to tell if he really enjoys those since what he mostly does is run around looking for hiding places for them….over and over again! None of his hiding places would fool anyone because he finishes up by dragging blankets or pillows over them. Impossible to miss the little treasure pyramids he builds, but I do my best to pretend.

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 & Josh! We made it home and the pups are all settled in. We had to give her bath… she did get car sick on the way home! She’s all clean and cuddled up with Mike on the couch and napping. Happy as can be. Beans likes her but is still a bit unsure why shes in his house, lol.She found a rock that interested her, haha.

Hi Jake and Josh! On Rhodys first birthday I wanted to give you guys an update! He is seriously the best dog ever. We can’t thank you enough for our little guy. He is such a big part of our family and still can’t believe he is ours. Here are some pics! He goes camping, hiking and paddle-boarding with us. He is super friendly with people and doggos and is down for all of our adventures. We love him so much.

Hello Jake, It’s been a month since we got our Baxter so I thought I’d send you an update. He is 10 lbs, healthy, full of fun, loves people (big and little), rides great in the car and has learned to like his crate – but not his playpen since that’s where he goes when I’m busy around the house and he thinks I should let him help :)) As far as we can tell he’s fearless, and he’s also VERY determined (okay, stubborn) once he sets his mind on doing something! Our dog yard is big and there are oak sticks everywhere. I throw them for Baxter to chase while we’re out there and a couple weeks ago I noticed that he always came back with the stick I’d just thrown. Not one of the other 1000 or so sticks in the yard, not the stick we played with yesterday, but the exact stick I’d just tossed. A few days ago I started throwing the stick without making sure he saw me do it. Jake, he’s not even 4 months old and he hunts until he finds the right stick, is that a Dachshund thing? Anyway, we really love this little guy, thanks so much for holding him for me! Best regards, Lee J

Hello Josh, we are in love.

We are at the coast again. Oliver is the hit of the entire town. Oh my, he gets compliments at every step. He takes it all in stride. So adorable. We met some super people that are at the RV park we are in. They are from San Diego. They have two small dogs that are so well cared for. They just spread the ashes of their long haired dachshund recently. They did scent work together. Very nice people. I showed them your website and they were so impressed with your breeding stock. They said they are looking for another long hair. If they contact you, I could say they seem to be very lovely people. I told them to tell you they met Oliver. Actually, he wasn’t out the door of our rig and they were coming across the street to meet him. He made you proud, as he was calm and so polite to their dogs. Jake, he is not a normal dog. Much more human than dog. Just wanted to let you know. We tell everyone about your beautiful dogs, but, not everyone is ready to expand their family. I think you may hear from them.Thanks!!!!!

Hi there! I just wanted to check in and share that our puppy, who we named Oliver, is doing GREAT! He is sleeping through the night, eating well, and adjusting to our family environment beautifully. Thanks!

O.M.G. Oliver. Are you sure you bred a dog, and not a new and unique lifeform? This guy is just too much. We are at the coast again. He is a star wherever we go. People stop us. They cross the street to ask about him. A lady wanted to take a picture with him. And Oliver just takes everything in stride. He is a rock solid rock star. I am looking for a surfer shirt for him to complete the look. He is doing well with housebreaking and leash work. He LOVES going in the RV. He is home as long as he is with Terry and me. Please, kiss Jasmine for me. I love her and Endeavor for producing this sweet little guy. If you have a picture of Jasmine and her pups, I would really like a copy for the wall. When we get the right beach picture, I will send one. Again, Thank you for the best Christmas present I have received in my entire life. My Oliver. Cheers

Hi Jake and Josh, I wanted to send you a quick update and some photos of our puppy named Riggy, short for Rigatoni, that we got from you in mid march (born to Mandy and Ritz). We could not have asked for a better dog! He has the best temperament. He is calm, sweet, loving and playful. We love taking him in public because he is so well behaved and people can’t believe what a handsome dog his is! Thank you so much for breeding and raising such wonderful dogs. When we are ready for a second, you will be hearing from us :)
