My wife and myself are small animal veterinarians. Over the years more than a few Songcatcher Dachshunds have come through our practice. All have been beautiful, well socialized and healthy. Last year we visited you and adopted two half brothers. You have a first rate operation, with large park like yards. All your dogs are super friendly and healthy. Your expertise in nutrition, breeding and genetics is amazing. Together my wife and myself have close to 40 years of veterinary experience, and will only refer customers to you if they are looking for a small dog.

Happy New Years!! Milo, Millie, and Moxie.

Hi Jake, We just wanted to share with you how pleased we are with our babies. Cherry Bomb, from Grendox He’s a Pistol and Nuforest’s California Dreaming, is 3 now and doing great and little Boo Bear turned 1 on January 22nd. She was from Gypsy and Hank’s litter. Hope you and your family are doing well. Thank you again for our sweet little girls. Thank you,

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.

Hard to believe she’s over 8 months old and we’ve had her for 6. She’s grown to be quite the little lady. She’s doing well and loves to chase bugs.

Here are some pictures of the male I got from you about the 1st of December 2018. Is taken on the 4th of July

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.

Hello! Hope everything has been going okay with you with all the snow and wild weather we had this winter. Cosmo (now 21 weeks) is such a joy. He’s started going to training school for adolescent dogs for a few hours during the week here in SF and the trainers there say he’s the best-tempered dachshund they’ve ever had. They volunteered (without me prompting them ^^) that his breeding really shows and I totally agree; as he’s gotten older he has so many wonderful qualities that I’d love to take credit for, but can tell he came with. (First photo attached is grabbed from the school’s Instagram Story since they’re much better at filmography than me – and most of my photos are of him asleep…) As wonderful as he is, I did plan on leaving the breeding to the professionals and getting him neutered eventually. My vet suggested that I ask what age you would recommend for it based on your experience. 1 year? Longer? Thanks!

Latest photo of Dru. Growing fast !
