Hope everyone at Songcatcher is doing well and enjoying the spring weather! Baxter turned a year old this week and I thought I’d send a new picture. Looks pretty comfortable, doesn’t he? He was excited to get a 6 pack of his favorite Lamb Chop squeaky toys, and a handsome new collar. He got a new chew bone too, but it’s hard to tell if he really enjoys those since what he mostly does is run around looking for hiding places for them….over and over again! None of his hiding places would fool anyone because he finishes up by dragging blankets or pillows over them. Impossible to miss the little treasure pyramids he builds, but I do my best to pretend.

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…

Here are some photos of Pepper on his 9 week birthday!

Hi Jake and Co, We have one of your puppies, Luna, that was born 10/15/22. She is the queen of our household and the love of our lives. We are hoping to add another one of your beautiful pups to our family. I was wondering if you expect any puppies to be ready to come home in early-mid July? We live in Washington State but have plans to be in the Sacramento area around that time to visit family.  Thank you for the girl we just can’t get enough of, she has been the most amazing therapy for me with the sudden, devastating loss of my dad recently.  Looking forward to hearing from you, Molly D

Happy Fourth of July, From Opal

Hey Jake, Looks like you guys have been very busy over at Songcatchers. Just wanted to send you some photos of Ringo our chocolate and tan long hair who was born on September 13 last year from Jolene and Joker. He’s been doing very well and we couldn’t be happier. Classic dachshund combination of fun, loyal and mischievous.

Hello! Hope everything has been going okay with you with all the snow and wild weather we had this winter. Cosmo (now 21 weeks) is such a joy. He’s started going to training school for adolescent dogs for a few hours during the week here in SF and the trainers there say he’s the best-tempered dachshund they’ve ever had. They volunteered (without me prompting them ^^) that his breeding really shows and I totally agree; as he’s gotten older he has so many wonderful qualities that I’d love to take credit for, but can tell he came with. (First photo attached is grabbed from the school’s Instagram Story since they’re much better at filmography than me – and most of my photos are of him asleep…) As wonderful as he is, I did plan on leaving the breeding to the professionals and getting him neutered eventually. My vet suggested that I ask what age you would recommend for it based on your experience. 1 year? Longer? Thanks!

Hi Jake, I am so grateful to have this little boy in my life. Walter has such a vibrant personality, he is also the best at cuddling. Everyone that meets him falls in love. Thank you for giving me an amazing pup, I will definitely be referring people your way!

Hi Jake and Josh, I just want to let you know how wonderful my pup is doing! We named him Archie. He did very well on our long trip home. The first 45 minutes he was nervous and did vomit a few times, but after that, he settled down. We brought a new large cheap litter box and placed a puppy training pad in it for him to relieve himself in. He used it twice! He’s adjusting well to his new home. He’s eating well, loves his crate and his toys. Took his pill this a.m. too. We couldn’t have asked for a sweeter puppy. He’s happy and playful and outgoing. We’re all so in love! Here are a few of the many photos we’ve taken. We’ll continue to touch base periodically so you can see him grow. Thanks for our new family member!

Hi Jake & Josh, I thought I would send you some recent pictures of the boys. Duncan is almost 8 months old in a couple of weeks and sure is a big boy! He is extremely loving and adores Cooper. Hope all is well and we will be in touch soon (we are still debating about adding a third ??)!
