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.

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.

Jake, I’m not sure how many follow ups you receive from those who have availed themselves of your services, but under my circumstances I thought I would just relate that since Suki joined me on June 13th this beautiful little girl has filled an otherwise unimaginable void. I do not know how I would get along without her. Here are a couple of photos I took just a couple of days ago and I thought you might like to see them. Thank you, take care, and God Bless. Dell

Hi Jake Clover is getting very good at letting us know she has to go out. She gets very agitated and bites at us without biting. So we ask do you have to go out and she runs to the back door. Weird way to let us know but we are glad she is telling us. She goes out comes in and settles right down. She seems to love her raw but cooked diet. She is very good in the car. Good in the crate when we are working and cant watch her or cant take her with us. We are so glad the new food helped her so much.

She’s becoming a big girl and is healthy and happy. She gets so spoiled because she’s so precious!

Just wanted to share with you our puppy “Bonnie” is growing beautifully. She is super playful and a great cuddler. We are so happy to have her in our lives.

My beautiful baby boy is 4 months already, how time flys! I’m so overwhelmed with the happiness he has brought to our friends and family, I look forward to the many years ahead. Thank you for our wonderful gift

Hi Josh & Jake, Thank you so much for everything. I am in love with my little guy! I named him Doc, and he has so much personality. I’ve attached a few pictures of him. He isn’t scared of anything, and has done amazing at potty training. He also sleeps through the night. Thank you again!!

Hi Jake, I want you to know how thankful I am to have found Gordy and you. He will be 5 months old the 5th of July and he weighs 10 pounds now. Gordy has brought me so much love and happiness , he is perfect. Several people have commented on his looks and how beautiful his head is shaped. He loves road trips and the perfect gentleman inside the car. I love it everytime I hear his short little legs running through the house. So far he’s not a barker, I’ve only heard him bark 3 times. Jake thank you again and again for allowing me to have one of your beautiful puppies. My world is so much happier with Gordon Tigger in it.

Jake, It seems crazy to think this little pup is 1 already. We made a bit of a fuss of him on his first birthday :) he was loving the attention. I got him a dog treat cake for his birthday. He was not a fan of it so it ended up in the trash but at least we got some good pictures…. Just wanted to check in with you and let you know he is doing fantastic. Hope all is well with you.
