Hi Jake, I wanted to drop in to give you an update on our pup – he is doing great :) . He cried for about 20 minutes after we left your home but settled down easily, and, didn’t get car sick on the way home. He’s settling in incredibly well, he is a little explorer. We have set up a potty-area for him and he has not had a single accident yet. He runs from across the room to go to his spot when he needs to ‘go’ – I am so impressed! We have an appointment for his next shots on Monday. Still haven’t quite decided on a name… his personality is coming out more and more so we’ll see what sticks :) Thank you again – he is such a beautiful little dog!

Here is Max’s most recent portrait. He is 1 1/2 yrs old now. Such a handsome and regal boy

Jaxson is so sweet. I hope you are safe and not getting too much smoke.

Good evening, My name is Ben T, and I just wanted to reach out to you guys to thank you again for the wonderful dog we adopted from you six years ago. My wife and I reached out in 2019, shortly after losing our elderly dog looking to adopt. We had our eyes set on a little cream colored female and drove all the way up from Santa Rosa to see her, and left with her that day and named her Lemon. I reached out a few years back with an update, but forgot to provide photos since our life was a little hectic at the time so I wanted to take the time to make sure I reached out again. We purchased a house and moved back to Maine, my home state, in 2021 so now we live in Caribou up near the Canadian border. She’s adjusted to the winters and the colder weather really well, and she loves playing in the snow. To the point we need to pick her up to get her inside sometimes on the days we have negative temperatures. She loves sticking her face in the snow to sniff and try to track the small critters that might be scurrying around there, and chasing snowballs. She’s an absolute goofball and a complete joy to have around. My family up here loved her instantly, to the point where my cousins thought my uncle was going to get a dachshund of his own because of how much he loves Lemon, haha. She is the absolute best dog I could have asked for, and has helped me through some extremely difficult times. After a stressful day at work, or a hard day of dealing with chores, she immediately cheers us up by crawling into our lap. She lives for affection and cuddles, and seems content to sleep wherever we are at so long as she is near us. We could not be happier, she really is the perfect dog for our home. I’ve attached some photos of her this time. Thank you again, Ben T

Jake: It’s Dan D. from Reno. I have not sent you pictures of Lizzy and Lucy lately, so I took this one tonight and thought you might like seeing that they are both doing well. Lizzy, on the right is turning into a great little dog and a great addition to our family. We feel lucky that we met you when we did. Hopefully all is well with you and your family, and your gang of dogs. Have a great week.

A year ago today you came to Truckee to bring me my sweet little dog.” Yeti “ is doing very well and we love her more everyday. Our Phoebe is doing quite well for 15 years old.

Hello Josh- I wanted to send you and your father a photo of our boy Finnegan on his first birthday!

Hi Jake and Josh, I hope you are doing well! I can’t believe it but our sweet Roo is almost 7 months. She has really been the best. We have taken her to Truckee and Monterey, which she loved. She gets along with every dog and person she meets, always rolling on her back and being the sweetest. We would love to get a friend for her, and wanted to reach out and see if you have any litters of creams you are planning for the year? We are thinking more towards the end of the year or beginning of next year so that Roo can get a little bit older. We are thinking a cream or shaded cream boy, but would be open to others based on what’s available. Thank you again for giving us the best puppy. I’ve attached some more recent pictures – she has developed the cutest blonde patches on her ears. And she was fixed a few weeks ago and has recovered perfectly! Thanks, Elle

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.

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.
