Hi Josh. Hope all is well. Here is a pic of Hazel. She is the sweetest girl

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!

Jake: Haven’t sent you any pictures recently of our 2 girls, but you can see they are thriving and doing well. They sleep under the covers and they are a joy to have around. Remember to refer people to me if they need a recommendation.

Hi Jake & Josh, Thought I’d send in some photos from Cooper’s 1st birthday today. As you can see he is extremely handsome! We get so many compliments on his coloring and he is a very happy, intelligent & loving little cuddler. We hope to give him a brother soon! Take care.

Hello, Penny is doing great. She’s really developed into a nice young dog. It’s amazing how soft her coat is. She’s definitely a ‘hound’ as she’ll be sitting in the house and bolt outside to see what’s out there – she smelled something. As she’s not much of a walker (although she will walk) we’ve set up some very, very low jumps so she can get some exercise without having to ‘walk’. She loves it; well she loves anything involving

Our girl, Finnick (Finny), is doing great! She just had her 10 week vaccine appointment yesterday and was all healthy. We have just had the best two weeks with her! She is beginning to become great friends with our other dog and they are inseparable. Here’s some update photos!

Figured You’d like to see how Oona is doing! We love her so much. She is definatley not a chill dachsie like Ophilia was! She keeps us busy!! Shes spoiled rotten!

Hi Jake and Josh, Here’s an update on Sunny. She’s doing great! Eating sleeping pooping peeing and playing well. No problems so far. We are all so happy.

I searched from our area in Washington to the east coast and back in search of a reputable and caring breeder. We lost or 18 1/2 yr old dachshund a little over a year ago and replacing her was a very big emotional adventure for us and our daughters. After getting taken for a ride by one so-called breeder and losing our deposit, I was hesitant to even keep searching. I came across Songcatcher and honestly only clicked the link because I really liked the name.??. Little did I know my email would be answered right away by Jake, and then excellent communication from there on out with Josh. They answered all of our questions all of the time and even called our puppy by name until we made the 16 hour drive south to pick him up. Josh met us at our hotel and was very professional and thorough with our precious delivery. They emailed 3 months later when our requested second puppy had been born and the same exceptional communication and happiness rang through with puppy #2 as well. My husband flew this time to Sacramento and back in one day and Josh met him at the airport for the exchange. Both our puppies, PeeWee & Pickle are not only healthy, but ridiculously loving and absolutely gorgeous! Our vet fell in love with them and said “you did good wherever you got these two”. I’m attaching a picture of our babies from just this morning. They are best friends. If I could afford it and had the patience for more pups I would get back on the waiting list and go through this process over and over again with Jake and Josh and their dachshunds. I hope this was helpful for you in making your decision.

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