Our puppies (no longer puppies) are celebrating their second birthday today. They are cousins. Franklin is the short haired guy wearing the orange sweater. He is adventuresome and playful. He is always cold which is why he always wears a sweater. He weighs 14 pounds and is a terrific watchdog. When we were picking out puppies we were told that he loves to sit on laps. Boy he sure does. He is very smart. Teresa has trained him to press buttons that say what he wants and he does a good job of communicating with us. Oliver is the long haired boy. He knows he is a pretty boy and loves to make sure everyone adores his beauty. He likes to sit in the middle of the room on a hardwood floor in a sphinx position. He weighs 18.5 pounds and we have to watch him because he eats like a horse. If Franklin is always cold, Oliver is always hot. He has a thick coat and a layer of body fat that keeps him warm. In summer we have to watch out because he is prone to heat stroke. He is not as adventurous as Franklin, but he loves to be petted. Oliver loves to spend time in our back yard looking for squirrels. When he sees one he defends our house from them. The squirrels love to get his attention and they egg him on. These two boys have brought so much joy into our lives. I wanted to share these thoughts with you.

Hello, Penny is doing great. She’s really developed into a nice young dog. It’s amazing how soft her coat is. She’s definitely a ‘hound’ as she’ll be sitting in the house and bolt outside to see what’s out there – she smelled something. As she’s not much of a walker (although she will walk) we’ve set up some very, very low jumps so she can get some exercise without having to ‘walk’. She loves it; well she loves anything involving

Hi Josh & Jake, Thank you so much for everything. I am in love with my little guy! I named him Doc, and he has so much personality. I’ve attached a few pictures of him. He isn’t scared of anything, and has done amazing at potty training. He also sleeps through the night. Thank you again!!

Just thinking of you. Hope you are all ok. This is Elsa. 3.

Hi Jake These 2 love each other. Inseparable. Fighter biter play.

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!

Hey Jake, It’s Emily E. We picked up our puppy from you a couple months ago & are just so in love with her! She’s amazing, thank you.

Hi Jake & Josh, I meant to send this update about Stevie Nicks when she turned one, and well, life got in the way. I guess that’s what happens when a puppy takes over your life. So here’s a 15 month update instead. I just wanted to let you know how much I love my sweet/sassy little girl. She has such a great personality and mostly listens to commands (when she wants to). Of course she is spoiled rotten, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. I like to tell people that it’s Stevie’s world, we are just living in it. Everyone who sees her instantly falls in love. I keep contemplating adding another to family, I’ll let you know if I finally want to make the plunge.

Hi Jake and Josh! Lulu is thriving and continues to be a source of love, affection and energetic entertainment! She seems to be potty trained now on the pee pads and she likes to go out through the dog door and do her thing in the back yard in the grass. Our 16yo, Leo, is socializing her, with some annoyance, but we have caught them resting and sleeping together also.

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.
