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

Hi Jake & Josh, Just wanted to drop you guys a quick note to say how much we love Clancy! He’s adjusted well, seems to like it here, and can’t get enough of us (especially me)! Here are some pictures. Feel free to use them on your website.

Good morning, It’s been a year since we came to Grass Valley and picked up our wonderful Manfred from you. We’ve loved every day of having him in our lives. I want to thank you for breeding such loving, gentle, beautiful dachshunds. He’s certainly an important part of our family now. I’m sending you a picture of Manfred in our backyard. He’s looking at a squirrel up in our magnolia tree, and another picture in our backyard. Thanks again for everything! Very sincerely, Sherri, Art, and Manfred

Hello Jake & Josh! Just popping in with a fun photo. PeeWee & Pickle are absolutely inseparable, and the happiest pups! Wishing you guys a happy weekend ahead…

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.

Milo is growing and playing with the others. Thank you again. Hope your well.

Hello! First vet appointment and second shots today- Smokey is a delight and fitting right in the family! He is either getting up once or not at all at night for potty, and is such a good boy about sleeping in the crate at night. Will keep you posted as he grows- we all love him!

Hello Jake, and best wishes for a good new year to come! Thought I’d let you know how we’re doing with our first dachshund. Since we’ve always had herding dogs we are often surprised by Baxter’s reaction to things but we are learning that it’s all about the nose for him? At 9 mos and 14 lbs, our vet thinks he’s about done growing, very sturdy and muscular. He has a lovely coat, nice dentition and bite as well. We take him everywhere and another surprise was how many people would come up to tell us they have or had a dachshund, or know someone who does, and share their opinion of them. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of middle ground – people either think they’re the most wonderful dogs ever or they don’t like them much. When we first got Baxter it was a bit scary to have that negative input – impossible to potty train, don’t like people much, inclined to be snappy, dig and bark incessantly, don’t get along with other dogs, etc. Since NONE of that is true about our little guy I just laugh now and let those folks see for themselves how awesome he is! Baxter is awesome. Healthy, loving, handsome, playful, comical and yes, a bit spoiled because he’s so darn cute we just can’t help ourselves!

Hi Jake and Josh, I hope you are doing well! I can’t believe it but our sweet Roo is almost 7 months. She has really been the best. We have taken her to Truckee and Monterey, which she loved. She gets along with every dog and person she meets, always rolling on her back and being the sweetest. We would love to get a friend for her, and wanted to reach out and see if you have any litters of creams you are planning for the year? We are thinking more towards the end of the year or beginning of next year so that Roo can get a little bit older. We are thinking a cream or shaded cream boy, but would be open to others based on what’s available. Thank you again for giving us the best puppy. I’ve attached some more recent pictures – she has developed the cutest blonde patches on her ears. And she was fixed a few weeks ago and has recovered perfectly! Thanks, Elle

Hello Jake and Josh 😊 I can’t believe it’s been a month since I picked up little Milo. (Yes, I settled on that German name meaning loyal companion.) He’s settling in very well. Thank you for another wonderful dog. Your care in breeding and love for what you do is evident in your puppies! Sherri
