Jake and Josh We made it home with our two puppies. We named the short haired fellow Franklin because my son swears he resembles FDR. (Personally I don’t see it and I wanted to call him Winston.) The long haired fellow is named Oliver, after our blond dachshund, Olivia, who passed away last year. Oliver is a lot like Olivia and is very smart. Oliver has clearly established himself as the alpha male, but Franklin is the most curious. Franklin gets into everything. Franklin is whining weiner. When he wants something (like getting out of the crib), he whines. The two dogs are great friends. I let them chase each other back and forth in the kitchen for 45 minutes. Boy they sure rough house with each other. They slept well for several hours after that. Oliver is the better eater. He is a porker. He devours his food. Franklin is much pickier. We feed them at opposite ends of the room so Oliver does not steal Franklin’s food. Franklin loves shoelaces. He grabs them and runs. He likes to untie shoes. He also figured out how to open up the zipper in the doggie playpen and get out. Franklin had his first vet appointment and is now microchipped. We cannot get Oliver to the vet until June 26th. We are so fortunate to have two wonderful dogs who keep us young. So happy that we were able to get Oliver to keep Franklin company.

Dear Jake and Josh, Arlo (as we are calling Brown Sugar’s shaded red male) whimpered for about 10 minutes then settled on my husband’s lap for the drive back to Berkeley. He was not car sick and managed the ride well. We have settled him in a pen in our kitchen and he surprised us by eating a handful of kibble without any of the appetite stimulator. I will stay in touch as he becomes accustomed to his new home. He is a beautiful puppy – thank you.

Thought I’d send you a picture of Lucy doing what she does best—sleeping and snoring. She is such a precious little girl and so smart and so much fun. If you ever need a referral please have your potential customer call us.

Jake, Just wanted to let you know that things are going great! He is absolutely adorable! He really settled in today and we have a good routine going. I decided to take time off work so that I could spend as much time with him as possible over the next few months and get him acclimated well, so don’t worry he is in great hands. Thanks!

Hello Jake & Josh, A very big and heartfelt thank you for introducing us to this magnificent pup that we have named Chloe. We are so in love and Chloe has integrated into our family perfectly. She is so sweet, smart, brave, calm , adventurous and a love bug. Honey is helping with potty training and I can report we’ve hardly had accidents. She has caught on so quickly. Starting to sit on command (copies Honey) and we are working on recall with her name. She has already grown so much, using ramps and stairs for furniture and very respectful to Honeys first days of grumpy attitude. Now they are play and snuggle friend. She eats well, sleeps great and loves to play. She was a champ in the car ride home with no issues at all. We are going to stay with our pack of two for now and when Honey moves on will be back in touch to get a puppy sister for Chloe. I’m so impressed with the quality of this dog. Thank you!!!!!!! Gina, Hunter, Sabi , Chris and Honey

Just wanted to show you how cute Olivia is without her cherry eye. She was already cute but she is even cuter now. She recovered fine and has been cherry eye free without issues for a few months now.

Hello! Just a note to say that Cosmo’s neutering last month went well and that he is simply the most wonderful dog and a perfect fit for me. Not to mention my dad, who texts me more in a week for Cosmo updates/photos than he did in a month for how I was doing ^^ and my folks’ otherwise prickly rescue dog – who now absolutely adores him. Thanks again for taking the time to talk through personalities/lifestyle and to have us come to meet him at 5 weeks. I’m sure you have plenty of testimonials, but obviously please don’t hesitate to use me as a reference for people in the Bay Area or elsewhere. Have a wonderful summer!

Hi Jake, Update on Sunny. She’s doing great and up to 8 pounds now. Loves running outside and has learned a ton of tricks/ commands. We really love her. ?? Please put us on your waiting list for a Black and Tan smooth mini so Sunny can eventually have a buddy.

Hi Jake, My boyfriend Karl and I picked up a puppy from you in August, he was the Julia/Dreamweaver litter born on May 21 2019. We named him Rocket. Just wanted to let you know how well he’s adjusting to life in San Francisco with his 15yo dachshund brother. He’s such a sweet boy, great with people, kids, cats and all other dogs. Has taken a few puppy classes and is so smart. We really lucked out with his amazing personality! We love him so much. Thank you!!!

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.
