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!

Our new pups (Elliot & Olivia) are doing great. We are having a blast. She will have her eye and spay surgery in July. We are so grateful to you for giving us a loving home again.

Hi Jake, Just wanted to let you know that the babies are doing well. They may look similar but they sure are different in personality! One is a lap baby…isn’t really wanting to be anywhere else (Glory). The other is a little race car, doing zoomies all over the house and loves toys (Ginger)! We h ave named Glory “Songcatcher Classic Inspiration” and Ginger is “Songcatcher Classic Celebration.” We are crazy about them and want to say how hopeful we are as to their prospects. We will keep in touch as they mature and let you know what the judges think of them when they go out to their first shows this summer. Be blessed,

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 thankful for my new best friend. I never thought I could love another dog like I did Fred, but I do. Gordy has made me so happy, he is a stinker, but I wouldn’t change a thing about him. Thank you for allowing me to have one of your puppies.

Hello Jake: Sadie has been with us for almost three months now and we are really enjoying her. She is very smart, lets us brush her teeth and clip her nails with no problems, and though she barks at Ken a lot, she loves to sit and cuddle with both of us. She loves the squeaky and other toys that we have given to her and has played with them so much, that some of the squeaky ones no longer squeak. She also loves her bed. A recent picture of her in it is attached here. We are working on her barking at Ken problem and potty training and both trainings are going well. For now, we wish you and your family all the best!

Hello Jake & Josh! As you can see from the attached pictures, PeeWee turned 1 on the 22nd, and he and his little Sister are inseparable. God bless your summer, and stay cool with this heat wave!

Our Bailey turned 4 on 8-3-25 – she’s the love of our lives -loves to go camping as she is with us 24/7- She’s cute, pretty, independent, playful, smart- Thank you again 💚 Andy, Steve, Bailey

Hello Jake: We are truly blessed with your dachshund creation ??. He is smart, affectionate, confident and easily trained in everything! Every day is enjoyable with this little puppy. Thank you

Jake and Josh We made it home with our two puppies. We named the short haired fellow Franklin because my son swears he resembles FDR. (Personally I don’t see it and I wanted to call him Winston.) The long haired fellow is named Oliver, after our blond dachshund, Olivia, who passed away last year. Oliver is a lot like Olivia and is very smart. Oliver has clearly established himself as the alpha male, but Franklin is the most curious. Franklin gets into everything. Franklin is whining weiner. When he wants something (like getting out of the crib), he whines. The two dogs are great friends. I let them chase each other back and forth in the kitchen for 45 minutes. Boy they sure rough house with each other. They slept well for several hours after that. Oliver is the better eater. He is a porker. He devours his food. Franklin is much pickier. We feed them at opposite ends of the room so Oliver does not steal Franklin’s food. Franklin loves shoelaces. He grabs them and runs. He likes to untie shoes. He also figured out how to open up the zipper in the doggie playpen and get out. Franklin had his first vet appointment and is now microchipped. We cannot get Oliver to the vet until June 26th. We are so fortunate to have two wonderful dogs who keep us young. So happy that we were able to get Oliver to keep Franklin company.
