Hello Josh and Jake, Just wanted you to know that Dory had her first birthday – she is still the energetic little “diva” you said she was. Loves to take long walks, sniff everything along the way. and get attention from anyone nearby. She is very loving and a great companion. She hops up to the back of the sofa and wraps herself around my neck when I am reading or watching TV. Thanks so much for bringing her into my life.

Hi Jake, I wanted to drop in to give you an update on our pup – he is doing great :) . He cried for about 20 minutes after we left your home but settled down easily, and, didn’t get car sick on the way home. He’s settling in incredibly well, he is a little explorer. We have set up a potty-area for him and he has not had a single accident yet. He runs from across the room to go to his spot when he needs to ‘go’ – I am so impressed! We have an appointment for his next shots on Monday. Still haven’t quite decided on a name… his personality is coming out more and more so we’ll see what sticks :) Thank you again – he is such a beautiful little dog!

We sure love our puppies.

I wanted to send you a little update on little Jim Dandy that you so graciously placed with me. He’s been affectionately renamed Reginald Seamus, but we call him Reggie for everyday use. He is my little shadow who spends all day at work with me and is constantly trying to sneak into my bed. Often, he succeeds and is quite the snuggle bug. His other nickname is Houdini because he is always trying to escape from his kennel! He loves his toys and is surprisingly gentle with them. He has brought me great joy since he’s come into my life. Thank you so much

Hi Jake and Josh Elsa just loved her first snow day. She played and played. Brought her in for a warm rinse to get the snow off. Clover didn’t like it. She ran out then froze in one spot whining till we carried her back in. Food wouldn’t even get her to move to come to us. We had house shoes on. Had to go out bare footed to pick her up. Good thing there is dry ground under the eaves for her to go outside. She is the first dachshund we have had that didn’t love snow. Bet you had a lot of snow.

Jake and Josh, Tilly has brought so much joy into my life since I picked her up last December 26th. There aren’t words that can describe how much I love her (and I think she loves me????????). Just wanted you to know she’s in loving hands…

Hi Jake These 2 love each other. Inseparable. Fighter biter play.

Thank you so much for the info and advice. We love our little guys and want them to be the healthiest they can be.

We are at the coast again. Oliver is the hit of the entire town. Oh my, he gets compliments at every step. He takes it all in stride. So adorable. We met some super people that are at the RV park we are in. They are from San Diego. They have two small dogs that are so well cared for. They just spread the ashes of their long haired dachshund recently. They did scent work together. Very nice people. I showed them your website and they were so impressed with your breeding stock. They said they are looking for another long hair. If they contact you, I could say they seem to be very lovely people. I told them to tell you they met Oliver. Actually, he wasn’t out the door of our rig and they were coming across the street to meet him. He made you proud, as he was calm and so polite to their dogs. Jake, he is not a normal dog. Much more human than dog. Just wanted to let you know. We tell everyone about your beautiful dogs, but, not everyone is ready to expand their family. I think you may hear from them.Thanks!!!!!

Day/ night one went pretty good. Leon has a good appetite and seems happy. He wants to be right next to me at all times or he cries loudly. That is to be expected though as he’s scared. My older dog Elliot is a bit put out. He’s not aggressive just distant and seems a little sad. Leon is eager for him to return his love. The cat is acting like I brought home a creature from outter space but she will come around. We just adore him so much and hope the other animal family members come around soon. Thank you so much for such a happy and healthy little guy.
