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!!!!!

Hello. After the death of our 13 year old dachshund “Penny”, my wife and myself were not sure if we wanted another dog. We really loved and miss our Penny, and was sure we would be dissapointted in another dog. Our veterinarian clinic highly recomended tou to us and told us about an informal dachshund club. We got invited to a play day and were surprized that a majority of the doxies there were Songcatcher dogs. They were all stunning, regal and beautiful. Even though we were strangers, the songcatcher dogs were crawling in our laps and showing us their bellies too pet. Soon after that we adopted “Meena”. Our little Meena is now a year old, she is everything we hoped for and more. We can thank you enough for all your advice and help.

Ruby is doing great! She is very happy to be in our home. She no longer runs from the cat. She is so sweet and loves to sit by you on the couch. She loves sunning on the back deck and is best friends now with our other dog, Odie. Thanks for helping her come into our lives.

Hope all is well. Sending some updated photos of Brown Sugar’s chocolate dapple girl. She’s been a very good puppy, I’ve gotten so many compliments on her temperament. She’s growing up fast, about 9 pounds now at the 20.5 week mark.

My mother Linda, aunt Elsa and myself visited last summer and purchased a wirehaired female puppy and a smooth red puppy. My mother and aunt live in England and are AKC carded judges. We were extremely impressed with your knowledge of genetics and nutrition, and with your incredible dogs. When you found out they were AKC show judges, you allowed us into your kennel! Even though you do not show your dogs yourself, both my mother and aunt agreed that any of your dogs would do well in the show ring. These two ladies are not easily impressed. I have since referred four other people to you looking for show prospects. Thank you so much

Good Morning, Jake, I just can’t thank you enough for your kindness and patience and for raising such an amazing little guy. His name is officially Garby and he is a very busy little guy! Very very fun, fetches, loves squeak toys, and is almost potty trained…poop is the hardest one to get him to go outside consistently…but we’re getting there. And, he is quite the watch dog…barks at strangers and even barks at the yard cart if it’s out of it normal place! :>) He is truly a gift, and I thank God for him, and for you!!!!! I’ll send you a couple pictures of him soon. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stella fitting right in. Sofie said hi but taking her own space while laying down. The new girl lay next to her for a few but wanted to be closer to Nelly.

Growing into a big girl, 7 months and meeting snow.

Hi there, Oliver is a rock star. It is as if he has been with us since birth. We have been gone a week now in the RV. Our trip depended on Oliver’s ability to adapt to RV life. Oh my. He has learned everything we need him to do. Oliver has learned so much. Leash work is also amazing. He waits for me to attach his leash. He loves tracking. I may think about special skill and see if there is a tracking group available. On our walks, we are routinely stopped with smiles and sweet comments. He gets attention wherever we go. I am noticing many many dogs that behave badly compared to our rock solid Oliver. His behavior is all due to your upbringing. Whatever you are doing at Songcatchers produced this amazing dog.

Hi Jake. Wanted to let you know Lily was spayed yesterday. She also got microchipped. She is doing really well. A total princess!! Very cuddly and lovey. The girls at the vet clinic carried her around after her surgery and were sad when she had to go home. She gets along super well with Penny. Just a wonderful dog. Thank you again for her!!!
