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.

Ruby is doing great! She is very happy to be in our home. She no longer runs from the cat. She is so sweet and loves to sit by you on the couch. She loves sunning on the back deck and is best friends now with our other dog, Odie. Thanks for helping her come into our lives.

Hi Josh and Jake, I got Doc from you guys on August 1 from Suzanna and Ritz litter. I just wanted to update you about how he is doing! He is the sweetest boy, and everyone always comments on how calm he is for 6 months! I have included some pictures of him – hope you all are having a great holiday.

Hi Jake, I hope you are all well! I wanted to send some photos of our pup, who is just about a year and a half old. He has been an amazing addition to our family and we are so happy with him. Have a wonderful weekend!

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.

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.

Louie’s one spoiled little boy. I love him so much. Thank you

Good morning, It’s been a year since we came to Grass Valley and picked up our wonderful Manfred from you. We’ve loved every day of having him in our lives. I want to thank you for breeding such loving, gentle, beautiful dachshunds. He’s certainly an important part of our family now. I’m sending you a picture of Manfred in our backyard. He’s looking at a squirrel up in our magnolia tree, and another picture in our backyard. Thanks again for everything! Very sincerely, Sherri, Art, and Manfred
