Hello Josh & Jake! I’m sitting here having a lazy morning with two of the most gorgeous pups ever born. PeeWee & Pickle are inseparable best friends and the joy of our home…. I hope this email finds the “dachshund farm” having a wonderful Friday morning

Hi Jake, Sixteen days and counting. Hope is doing great! She is more relaxed when going out every day. She loves the car rides. She is now my little “doodle bug”, added to the rest of her name Hope Diamond Doodle Bug. She has become my grooming supervisor, much like her predicessor Snickers. She hangs out while I bathe and groom dogs. Small scale for the moment, slowly building clientele. Enjoy the pics. First attempt at the back pack. Hope to be able to pack her while I walk Maveric. Last pic of Maveric, Myniko, and Hope hanging out in the back yard. Her and Myniko are hunting rats ( I assume) in the yard together. Thanks again.

Hello Jake! Well, I’m a really bad photographer but I just had to send these. Baxter is 18 mos old now and his winter coat is coming in with lots of little ‘feathers’, which I guess will become more long coat areas in time. Last year his body and chest were still quite smooth. The changes in his coat (combined with his short legs) have made him into sort of a reverse dust mop! The leaf pile in these pictures comes from 1 (yes, one) potty trip outside. So comical !!! He’s getting used to being gathered up and combed as soon as he comes back in (cookies help) but even so, thank goodness for my cordless vacuum, which is certainly getting a workout. This little guy is our darling, we could not possibly love him more ?? Hope all is well with you and that the coming holidays will be wonderful for everyone at Songcatcher!

Sent you some pics of Dodger at 6 months. He’s doing great!

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.

Hi Jake, I hope you and your family are doing well and staying healthy. I wanted to share a few photos and an update on the female long hair cream dapple I got from Strawberry & Jokers August 20th litter. We have named her Jasmine and call her Jazzy. She’s thriving and such a joy! She has fit nicely into our family including with our Boxer dogs, cat and chickens. It fills my heart with such happiness watching her run and play on our little homestead. I can’t thank you enough for breeding such a fantastic quality dog.

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

Thank you again for him!! His name is Arlo and he is settling in well, he is such a sweetheart and I couldn’t have asked for a better pup!

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.

She is a dream, daddy’s baby!! Looking forward to another pup from you guys, one pup at a time!!
