Hi Jake and Josh! We wanted to wish you both a Merry Christmas and give you an update on Panko (Valerie’s Cream Male). He is doing really well and has acclimated to our daily routines. We think he’s about 99% potty trained. He rings the bell by the door to let us know he needs to go out to do his business. We also have him sleeping in the crate at night since Thanksgiving and we have put away the x-pen. Panko loves the water and thinks he’s a retriever. ?? Have a safe and joyful Christmas!

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 there! I hope you guys are doing well. I have previously bought three pups from you and now my mom is looking to get another. Can you tell me the best price on this one for her? Thank you again. Would you like pictures of our pups now? They are 3,2,1. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this little guy. We love him so much and so does his younger basset hound sister. His name is Mr. Bundles (long story) but he has already started wrestling with Chloe his sister. Oh and he can hold his own. Thank you again we love him to pieces

We have settled in as if Oliver has lived here his entire life. What a fantastic little guy. Not sure the word DOG applies to him. He fetches repeatedly. He walks perfectly on a leash for his age. He shows attention to each of us equally and has shown fear of nothing. He is such a sweetheart. Oh, he seems to know the word“wait” and has gone potty twice on command, it is just uncanny. Thank you again. You are always welcome to visit

Hi Jake, Forgot to send you Sophie’s BDay pic. She celebrated #1 on June 22. She is a perfect dog !!!

Hi Jake and Josh, it’s almost been 2 weeks since we brought Matilda and Jelly Bean’s girl home and she’s doing great. We named her Birdette and call her Birdie. Every day, we melt from cuteness overload and are continually impressed by how smart, confident, and adaptable she is. She’s already learned “sit, bed, take it, off, ramp, and go potty!” Thank you for all the love, care, and dedication you put into socializing and getting her ready for her new home — it’s been particularly noticeable in how sweet and gentle she’s been when meeting our family and friends. The collagen chews have been amazing for winding down time. She loves to cuddle and sleep with her heartbeat stuffed puppy and drag around her oversized carrot toy. What fiery, playful side she has — can’t forget to mention that ha! She’s such a good girl :’) we love her so much and are grateful she’s in our life. Many thanks, Gabriela and Kyle

Good Afternoon, Penny is doing amazing; it’s crazy how smart she is (when she wants to be). I keep thinking how big she’s getting relative to when we got her but everyone else says how cute and small she is. I had two questions I would appreciate a response to if I may ask. 1. Penny is 6 months old today. If memory serves, you suggested getting her spayed at 6 months and not waiting for her first heat or did I get this backward? Our vet is after first heat but will do it before if requested. I just wanted to confirm your thoughts. 2. Second, do all dachshund’s like to bring sticks inside and chew them?!? It’s one of Penny’s favorite things to do; next to me chasing her for the stick. I do get the connection but even if there’s no chase, in they come. Hope everyone is well.

Hello Jake and Josh. I just wanted to let you know the puppy is doing well. He is bonding great with the adult dogs. We changed his name to Murphy.
