This is Franklin. I sent you an article about our dogs that was published last week. I can send you that picture as well. Both dogs are fabulous pets. They are going through obedience training and there are two other dachshunds in class, but they are nowhere as beautiful as ours. The other dog is Oliver. He is the watchdog and is a real squirrel chaser. He almost caught one over the weekend. Now he sits by the french door in our kitchen all day and barks at the squirrels who are ubiquitous in our back yard. Franklin is still the lap hooger, but he is getting big and does not fit as well on laps anymore. Plus Oliver wants some of the lap action as well. Franklin is an inquisitive daredevil. Franklin does not like cold weather because his coat is so thin.

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.

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

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.

Hi Jake, looks who’s 6 months today, Gordon Tigger F. He weighs 12 lbs. and is beautiful. We are having so much fun together, just got home from the Oregon Coast. Gordy loved running on the beach and playing in the water, he thinks he’s a water dog. He also loves riding in the car. I’ve had severial compliments on his build and long ears. I remember you telling me he would have long ears. Gordy loves everyone and he’s not a barker. I’m thankful, I found you and your puppies. Gordy is amazing and has brightened my life.

We just wanted to give a quick update on our sweet Luna. She is doing so well. We are obsessed with her, she’s the most beautiful (now 7 months old) puppy. She goes everywhere with us. She runs the house, but her temperament and personality fit seamlessly into our family. Her big sister is a 90-pound lab mix and they play so well together. We are already planning for our next puppy, it will be a little while, but we can’t wait to add another beautiful ween to our brood. Thank you for this wonderful addition to our family.

Here’s a update picture of Mystro. He is now 9months and an absolute sweetheart. He loves his walks and playing in puddles

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.

Our baby Charlie is just perfection. Thank you again. He’s the sweetest, calmest, best dog we have ever owned!!!!
