Hello Jake! Well, I’m a really bad photographer but I just had to send these. Baxter is 18 mos old now and his winter coat is coming in with lots of little ‘feathers’, which I guess will become more long coat areas in time. Last year his body and chest were still quite smooth. The changes in his coat (combined with his short legs) have made him into sort of a reverse dust mop! The leaf pile in these pictures comes from 1 (yes, one) potty trip outside. So comical !!! He’s getting used to being gathered up and combed as soon as he comes back in (cookies help) but even so, thank goodness for my cordless vacuum, which is certainly getting a workout. This little guy is our darling, we could not possibly love him more ?? Hope all is well with you and that the coming holidays will be wonderful for everyone at Songcatcher!

Here are some photos of Pepper on his 9 week birthday!

She’s all grown up now and we love her so much! She is the spoiled princess of the house. She is such a cuddle bug. We also have given her all her shots, as we waited until she was an adult to get the one that was considered painful for puppies, so this couch potato is healthy and safe. She’s sweet and on her walks has made several friends, she is never aggressive. We love this little girl!

Hello Jake: Sadie is 4 years old today. How time flies! Last month we had a professional photographer come to our house to take pictures of her. The best picture of her is attached. Enjoy your summer!

Hi Jake and Josh! We wanted to wish you both a Merry Christmas and give you an update on Panko (Valerie’s Cream Male). He is doing really well and has acclimated to our daily routines. We think he’s about 99% potty trained. He rings the bell by the door to let us know he needs to go out to do his business. We also have him sleeping in the crate at night since Thanksgiving and we have put away the x-pen. Panko loves the water and thinks he’s a retriever. ?? Have a safe and joyful Christmas!

Hi guys! I just wanted to share a quick update on Nugget. He’s the most awesome little guy. Loves the dogs, kids, does good with all the livestock and has been an exceptional hiking partner! Thanks so much for such a great little companion, we’re loving him 😊 Here’s some updated pictures.

Hi Jake and Josh, I just want to let you know how wonderful my pup is doing! We named him Archie. He did very well on our long trip home. The first 45 minutes he was nervous and did vomit a few times, but after that, he settled down. We brought a new large cheap litter box and placed a puppy training pad in it for him to relieve himself in. He used it twice! He’s adjusting well to his new home. He’s eating well, loves his crate and his toys. Took his pill this a.m. too. We couldn’t have asked for a sweeter puppy. He’s happy and playful and outgoing. We’re all so in love! Here are a few of the many photos we’ve taken. We’ll continue to touch base periodically so you can see him grow. Thanks for our new family member!

Hello Jake: We are truly blessed with your dachshund creation ??. He is smart, affectionate, confident and easily trained in everything! Every day is enjoyable with this little puppy. Thank you

Jake: It’s Dan from Reno. It’s been a while since I sent you pictures of Lucy and Lizzy. That are thriving and doing well. As you can see, they are spoiled rotten and living a life of leisure. We are glad we met you, and I think our pups would feel the same if you asked them. Hopefully you and your family and all your pups are doing well. Kind regards,

Hi Jake It was a pleasure meeting you and your son today. Thank you so much for letting us visit. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with you and your son, as well as the next member of our family !!!! Your amazing knowledge of dachshunds and breeding, and your wiliness to share a little bit of that knowledge with us was very much appreciated. We could have stayed and talked to you all day. We are very excited and can hardly wait to bring our new little one home to meet her new “big brother” Jameson. We are looking forward to getting updates on her progress. Thank you so much for sharing part of your busy day with us.
