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!

Our baby Charlie is just perfection. Thank you again. He’s the sweetest, calmest, best dog we have ever owned!!!!

Jake, Want you to know that Sophie is THE BEST DOG ! She loves going to the small dog park here in Healdsburg and is the darling there. She will get spay in December. I spend the winters in Mexico and she will be with me. I have given your website to numerous folks who have seen her. Enjoy the holidays.

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that Waffle is doing great! He is an instigator and gets our corgi in trouble all the time. He shows corgi her favorite squeaky ball and then runs away with it, so she has to chase him. Then she stars barking and gets in trouble for that. He is super funny and very smart.

Jake, Just wanted to let you know that things are going great! He is absolutely adorable! He really settled in today and we have a good routine going. I decided to take time off work so that I could spend as much time with him as possible over the next few months and get him acclimated well, so don’t worry he is in great hands. Thanks!

If you had any concerns about how well our Lucy is doing, the picture shows she is enjoying a life of comfort and leisure. She has gotten long and has the large paws and ears that you talked about when we first saw her. Once again, thanks for helping us with the new addition to our family. She is a delight and a wonderful little girl to come home every night. Have a great evening sir.

This is Mickey. Such a sweet boy! Wanted you to see how he has grown! He is doing good!!

Hi Jake, Sunny is up to 6 pounds now and doing great!

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!

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.
