Hello, it’s been two weeks now and our puppy Xena has felt right at home. She was very shy the first two days but has since opened up and is a little rascal. Her personality is lively, sweet, and quiet. She’s a little bugger and we love her so much already. She has her own bed, a little harness we use so she may get used to it and not run around when she goes potty, and a playpen with her toys and bed big enough for us to sit in and play with her, in addition to her crate, which she will go to in the mornings and curl up in while everyone gets ready for work. It’s her safe den, and it’s cozy. I can’t wait to take her on walks once she gets all of her shots. We will not be getting the lepto vaccine, she is an indoor dog and it can be painful to pups. When she got her last set of shots she was sore and cried and it freaked us the hell out in addition to breaking our hearts. Below are some pictures of Xena, doxie princess, settling in.

Hi Jake! Hope you’re doing well! We are so over the moon with our little Maple. She is doing really well and got a clean bill of health from the vet this week! Thought I would send you some pictures since she is so dang cute :) Thanks!!

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!

Hello ! I wanted to give you an update on our 6 1/2 month old boy, Remy Lebeau He is an absolute sweet heart. He sleeps in the bed with my husband and I. His favorite toy is a stuffed duck which smells horrible and is almost torn to shreds. He hates baths and doorbells. He is sneaky and will steal any food that you leave unattended. He is loved by the whole family and we cannot imagine life without him

I am 83 years old & have had dogs all my life. After my old lab died I wanted a smaller companion. I formed in my mind exactly the dog I wanted & started the search. When I saw the pictures of Jake’s red litter I knew I had found the right ones to pick from. I drove up to see the pups. I don’t believe I have ever met a more helpful & concernrd breeder than Jake. His pups were in perfect health with shiny coats, great conformation, good teeth & great personalities. I found the exact puppy I had formed in my mind. The pup is very inteligent & bonded almost immediately.

Here are some photos of Pepper on his 9 week birthday!

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.

Hello Jake, Thank you so much for inviting us over today to visit the puppy. We are so excited to have this little guy join our family! This was the best way to spend Valentine’s Day and we sincerely appreciate you for raising such wonderful little pups! We are so happy. Warmly, Michelle &Tejus

Hi Penny is doing great. She had some big changes this fall – she and I moved to CO to be closer to my grandkids. The eldest (2) adores her. We were worried about snow but Penny could care less. I cleared her a spot but she had to walk the yard. Quite the girl. She’s brought so much joy to our life. Best, Bruce and Penny

Hello to everyone at Songcatcher! I wanted to let you know that it’s been almost two years since our puppy was born and the time is FLYING by. Little Bette Davis sends her best to her first family and wants to tell you how well she is doing! She loves hanging out outside, getting into trouble with her big sister, Coco and of course, mealtimes. I hope you have healthy and happy litters this Fall season and are looking forward to the holidays. Please give extra pets to Opal and Dapper Dan! Thanks again and always for our special girl.
