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

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 :)

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!

Good Morning, I understand you are considering purchasing a puppy from Jake Zanocco. I can assure you that he is a great guy to deal with and his dachshunds are of the highest quality. We looked at numerous websites to find the right puppy and we were lucky enough to find Jakes website which showed all the available puppies. We picked one out on the website and drove to his place in Nevada City and took a look at the puppy we saw online. We fell in love with her at first sight, and we picked her up when she was old enough to leave her mother. She is a smart, active and lovable little creature, and we are very thankful that we found Jake and his puppies. She is a great addition to our family, after having lost two or our dachshunds last year to old age. Jake is honest and will answer any questions you may have about the puppy you are about to purchase. He’ll advise you regarding their care, their diet and medications. In short, I would highly recommend that you get your puppy from Jake. You’ll never be sorry you drove to Nevada City to buy a puppy from him.

Jake: It’s been a while since I sent you pictures of our Lizzy and Lucy. As you can see they live the “Life of Riley!” We are grateful you were kind enough to let us have them and include them as family members. If you need a reference at any time, let me talk to them and I’ll sell another dog for you.

Thank you so much for all your help. She made it home without getting sick and the first night went surprisingly well. She is such a sweet little girl and we love her so much. Hope you have a great day!

We have settled in as if Oliver has lived here his entire life. What a fantastic little guy. Not sure the word DOG applies to him. He fetches repeatedly. He walks perfectly on a leash for his age. He shows attention to each of us equally and has shown fear of nothing. He is such a sweetheart. Oh, he seems to know the word“wait” and has gone potty twice on command, it is just uncanny. Thank you again. You are always welcome to visit

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!

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! Just wanted to let you know that Waylon absolutely loves the new little guy! We’ve been keeping a close eye on them, given the size difference, but they spend most of their waking hours playing or snuggling together. Will keep you posted on their adventures.
