Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Thank You

Jake, Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas. Tilly (in her new sweater I made her for Christmas) added a whole new, joyful dimension to ours! Thank you so much for providing me with such a SWEET, LOVING, ADORABLE, puppy! Everyone and every dog Tilly meets loves her, too…

Hello Jake this is Vicky from Nevada City I’m sure that you have a lot of people from Nevada City who have your dogs because I see them all around now that I have Gussy I don’t know if you remember we were going to get a long hair and I changed my mind and then I called you back and you gave me the little blonde English cream and I named her Gussy and I just wanted to thank you again because she has turned into the love of my life she is the most wonderful dog she goes everywhere with me she has even gone to Phoenix on airplane I was thinking about you I have referred you to many many many people as a very wonderful breeder and I thought that I just would let you know that and tell you thank you again for one of the most wonderful things that’s ever happened to me in my life. PS I have attached a couple of pictures that I have of her on my Facebook she’s getting a little more golden and I even am seeing some little spotty spots that looks so cute thank you again.

Someone won’t be having a Blue Christmas. Hope is adjusting well. She loves eating whipped cream out of the spray can with her siblings and is now challenging the Mastiff on the other side of the fence when she gets a chance. She used to run for the hills, but now she is mighty and fierce as long as no person is on the other side of the fence as well. She can now catch food coming her way, Yum. She is dawning a Jingle bell collar til’ New Years, as is the Butcher tradition for all canines from Thanksgiving day on. Hope you have a great Holiday season. Still progressing in her social skills with still a ways to go. We meet up with Matt and Hootie often. Take care, Donna and Hope Diamond Doodle Bug.

Hello Josh & Jake! I’m sitting here having a lazy morning with two of the most gorgeous pups ever born. PeeWee & Pickle are inseparable best friends and the joy of our home…. I hope this email finds the “dachshund farm” having a wonderful Friday morning

I want to give you an update on Ottis aka Magic, and ask you for an address seeing I would like to send you a little thank you. He is sleeping all night in his create and comes in my bed in the morning to snuggle. (no training needed) He has rode in the bike basket a few times and did great. He is wonderful on leash (no training needed) just working on him sitting at coroners and went I stop to sit too. He got the hang of the dogie door the first day and has had no accidents in the house so I do not need any barriers to block him from the carpet areas. He is so smart and has been adjusting so well we can’t thank you enough. He is a bit skittish of my parents but I make him interact so I am sure he will come around. As you stated he can care less about toys and he is not food motivated when training him, but loves his praise. He was so funny when he first saw himself in the mirror is his very vain and wanted to play with himself. It is been so fun watch him have new experiences and us both learning on the way. We just love him so much. I only hope he will be OK once we can get him around people more when he is on his walks he now stops to barks at people or dogs passing by but when I tell him it is OK he settles down. Ottis is getting the sitting and staying down too. He teeth look great I waiting for his toothbrush and toothpaste to come in is he used to have his teeth cleaned and ears cleaned? I just concerned seeing we are home all the time he dose not get separation anxiety but we have been trying to leave him along and thus far he has done great. He goes into his create during the day but I have to tell my daughter to let him be on his own they both want to be with each out all the time. I want to thank you once again he has brought such joy to our home in this darken days.

I wanted to give you an update. Finn is about a year and a half now. He was from Blondies first litter. I am so in love with him and grateful to you for choosing me to be his mom. Anywhere we go I get stopped and asked where I got him from. I always have such wonderful things to say about you and your family. Thank you again I have attached some photos.

I wanted to send you a pic of Tucker…he is so darn sweet. He seems to be very happy and is super playful with his big sister Georgia (picture below). Were just in love with this little guy!

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.

Good afternoon Jake Just wanted to send a picture of our little Louie. He is so precious. Thank you so much for giving us this bundle of joy. He is doing great. Sleeps all night in his crate and does pretty good using the potty pads. We are going to work on him bitting and chewing on everything but his toys. Lol. He finds so much more taste and fun with the things he shouldn’t be chewing on. Again thank you. We love him so very much.
