Jaxson is so sweet. I hope you are safe and not getting too much smoke.

Good evening, My name is Ben T, and I just wanted to reach out to you guys to thank you again for the wonderful dog we adopted from you six years ago. My wife and I reached out in 2019, shortly after losing our elderly dog looking to adopt. We had our eyes set on a little cream colored female and drove all the way up from Santa Rosa to see her, and left with her that day and named her Lemon. I reached out a few years back with an update, but forgot to provide photos since our life was a little hectic at the time so I wanted to take the time to make sure I reached out again. We purchased a house and moved back to Maine, my home state, in 2021 so now we live in Caribou up near the Canadian border. She’s adjusted to the winters and the colder weather really well, and she loves playing in the snow. To the point we need to pick her up to get her inside sometimes on the days we have negative temperatures. She loves sticking her face in the snow to sniff and try to track the small critters that might be scurrying around there, and chasing snowballs. She’s an absolute goofball and a complete joy to have around. My family up here loved her instantly, to the point where my cousins thought my uncle was going to get a dachshund of his own because of how much he loves Lemon, haha. She is the absolute best dog I could have asked for, and has helped me through some extremely difficult times. After a stressful day at work, or a hard day of dealing with chores, she immediately cheers us up by crawling into our lap. She lives for affection and cuddles, and seems content to sleep wherever we are at so long as she is near us. We could not be happier, she really is the perfect dog for our home. I’ve attached some photos of her this time. Thank you again, Ben T

Hi there, Oliver is a rock star. It is as if he has been with us since birth. We have been gone a week now in the RV. Our trip depended on Oliver’s ability to adapt to RV life. Oh my. He has learned everything we need him to do. Oliver has learned so much. Leash work is also amazing. He waits for me to attach his leash. He loves tracking. I may think about special skill and see if there is a tracking group available. On our walks, we are routinely stopped with smiles and sweet comments. He gets attention wherever we go. I am noticing many many dogs that behave badly compared to our rock solid Oliver. His behavior is all due to your upbringing. Whatever you are doing at Songcatchers produced this amazing dog.

Hi Jake and Josh! Genie is almost a year old now. She is sweet, gentle, and so friendly. Everywhere we go, people comment on what a gorgeous and good-natured girl she is. It would be impossible for anyone to love a dog more than we love our Bean. Thank you so much!

Hope all is well. Sending some updated photos of Brown Sugar’s chocolate dapple girl. She’s been a very good puppy, I’ve gotten so many compliments on her temperament. She’s growing up fast, about 9 pounds now at the 20.5 week mark.

Hi Jake and Josh Elsa on her walk today. She loves to go. She meets her trainer next week and “dog school” starts in January.

The dapple boy from Gypsy’s litter. I named him Cosmo because of the star freckles on his nose. He’s doing great and his personality and energy are such a delight. His first meetings with my parents’ dog also went even better than we’d hoped (all the credit to Cosmo). Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for this little dude- we have no regret driving 14 hours to pick him up. He is strong, healthy, handsome, never had any health-related issues so far. he was the best thing that happened to me, I love him and want to share some of his cute moments with you. I also gave him a Chinese name 俞大壮, which means big and strong, I hope he will be part of our family for many years to come.

Hi Jake! Hope you’re doing well! We are so over the moon with our little Maple. She is doing really well and got a clean bill of health from the vet this week! Thought I would send you some pictures since she is so dang cute :) Thanks!!

Hi Jake and Josh – wanted to say hi and send some pics of Zoey! She is just the best! She loves to play and give kisses, she loves treats and showing her belly when she’s excited :). She and her brother Dario became very fast best friends and they love to play. She has seen the vet twice and is well taken care of :). Hope you both and all the Dachshunds are doing well! Happy holidays,
