Thank you again for him!! His name is Arlo and he is settling in well, he is such a sweetheart and I couldn’t have asked for a better pup!

Hey! 6 month update: Nelly is amazing. We are constantly bombarded with compliments about her coat and her temperament everywhere we go. We regularly hear “usually my dog doesn’t get along with other dogs” or “I’m usually scared of dogs and don’t pet them, but she is so soft and friendly”. She’s seriously a blessing. Objectively, she is 12 pounds solid. 24 inches long from nose to butt with a 9 inch tail. We see 5 distinct colors coming in (white, blonde, brown, grey, and black). Her mane is also growing nicely and not overly bushy in any parts of her coat. She thoroughly enjoys bath time/water of any kind and attempts to jump in with us or in any damn puddle she can find and when inside with stick her face directly in the water. It makes cleaning her considerably easier than any dog we have had in the past. Subjectively, she gets along with every child (some with special needs, some aggressive petters, some first time dog petters), adults (at her house, in public, and at other homes), dog (from Great Danes that don’t move to chihuahuas that bark right in her face and she doesn’t bark back at the dog park with 30 dogs around or alone playing for hours with no problems at all including extremely minimal barking like 10 barks a day total), bird (chases but doesn’t ever harm or bark at), and horse (nose to nose and walking around) she has ever come across. She has even taken her first and second airplane flight with no issues at all (bathroom, barking, nervous) with no pharmacological assistance like the vet wanted us to do. We have switch protein source to turkey for the past 5 weeks. She is getting 2.5 ounces of raw turkey 2 times daily at 6 am/pm and has BilJac kibble to free feed on. We are considering switching to duck in about 2-3 months as I have read some good stuff. We have streamlined the feeding process while maintaining absolute freshness with vacuum sealed pouches per meal. She has had no stomach issues or any other issues of any kind to date with all itching under control with humidifier and hygiene maintenance. We really can’t thank you guys enough for caring so much about these dogs to breed them healthy and strong and to pass on all the information to give her the best chance to succeed. Across the board she is the new benchmark for my entire family’s dogs. I have attached some photos below. You can only see her beauty in the pictures but her temperament is by FAR her best attribute.

Hi Jake, Luis is doing great! He’s incredibly smart and catching on so quickly. He’s well on his way to being house trained (no accident in a week and he’s potting on a cue word!), he already knows hit Sit, Down and Come commands. He’s a bit nippy with the kids. Gets very excited with them almost immediately and starts biting for fun. We need to work on that:) He’s hilarious while chasing his own tail (which I remember my family doxie used to do as well, and it’s the funniest thing ever). He’s getting his booster shot this Friday, so we can start venturing out a bit more. I’m attaching a photo where he jus learned that he can actually lay down and sleep outside of the crate too on his favorite toy:) Hope you are well!

Hi Jake, I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything. This first week with Winnie has been incredible, and she’s been such a dream, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She’s adjusting unbelievably well. She’s confident, loving, and honestly one of the smartest dogs we’ve ever seen. On her very first night home, she walked right into her crate and tucked herself in when she was ready for bed like she already knew it was home. It completely blew us away. And by day 2, she had already figured out how to let us know when she needs to go outside to use the bathroom. Now she runs to the door or gives us a look, and when she’s hungry, she runs straight to her bowl. There’s no guessing with her. She just knows how to communicate exactly what she wants. It’s obvious she came from a thoughtful, loving, and structured environment. You gave her such an incredible foundation, and we just wanted to say how much we appreciate it. She’s doing so well and is already so loved. Warm regards, Joseph G

Hello Jake and Josh! Baxter had his 3rd birthday last Saturday and I thought I’d send you a current picture. He is the dearest little guy and much loved. We don’t have another dachshund to compare too but if they are all as loving and comical as he is it’s no wonder they’re so popular – and that the puppies from a wonderful breeding program like yours go so quickly to good homes! Baxter thinks humans are belly rub vending machines, his favorite treat is honeydew melon, he loves his toys and his family – including the new rescue kitties – and, thankfully, he’s very healthy. We’re very grateful Happy Spring!

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 Jake and Josh, A puppy update for you! I brought Archie home on Halloween and he is doing so well! He has the sweetest temperament and is such a good dog, and also the cutest. We have had lots of family in town over the holiday and he has been the star of the show, my young nieces and nephews played with him and he was great with kids and adults alike. More pics soon!

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 guys! I just wanted to share a quick update on Nugget. He’s the most awesome little guy. Loves the dogs, kids, does good with all the livestock and has been an exceptional hiking partner! Thanks so much for such a great little companion, we’re loving him 😊 Here’s some updated pictures.

We just wanted to give a quick update on our sweet Luna. She is doing so well. We are obsessed with her, she’s the most beautiful (now 7 months old) puppy. She goes everywhere with us. She runs the house, but her temperament and personality fit seamlessly into our family. Her big sister is a 90-pound lab mix and they play so well together. We are already planning for our next puppy, it will be a little while, but we can’t wait to add another beautiful ween to our brood. Thank you for this wonderful addition to our family.
