Jaxson is so sweet. I hope you are safe and not getting too much smoke.

Franky is doing great. He’s starting to get used to his new house and he’s very happy. We love him.

Hi Jake – I want to let you know that Pickles was spayed on March 27th and she is doing great! I have a couple of gripes about Pickles…you didn’t warn me that she is a thief and hoarder…lol! We find socks, shoes, and numerous (I mean numerous) dog toys in her bed that she collects throughout the day. She’s a funny little girl, she will sneak what she can into her bed and each evening I go see what she’s collected for that day. She’s a very good girl though and never chews up any of her treasures…she just guards them from other potential thieves. Also, little Miss Pickles is an avid television watcher!!! However…she is very, very selective in her viewing!!! She does not like shows with children, babies, animals of any kind (read or cartoon), violence or active motion. When viewing any of the above she rushes the TV barking loudly and jumping at the screen…there is no stopping her! Therefore, my TV watching is now limited to shows about cooking and home decorating…which thankfully I enjoy! Pickles is the sweetest and most loving dog we have ever had as part of our family!!! I must get at least 100 licks a day and she gets at least 100 kisses a day from me and a lot of I love yous!!! Thank you again Jake for choosing us to be Pickles forever home!

Hello Jake & Josh! I hope you and your family are doing well. Here are some pictures of Dot. She’s almost 6 months now! She’s such a sweet, calm and intelligent girl! She brings so much joy to our lives everyday. Thank you for the most wonderful addition to our family!

Hi there! I hope you guys are doing well. I have previously bought three pups from you and now my mom is looking to get another. Can you tell me the best price on this one for her? Thank you again. Would you like pictures of our pups now? They are 3,2,1. Thank you!

Penny is such a blessing!!! Thank you!

We are obsessed with him already! he is so sweet and has already taken to his crate so quickly (I remember it being more of a nightmare with the dachshunds I had previously). thanks so much again for such a well tempered boy.

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!

Happy New Years!! Milo, Millie, and Moxie.

Hi Jake and Josh! I wanted to give you an update after several days with the pup! I have been so impressed with how relaxed and sweet she is. I’ve never seen a puppy of any kind that is so laid back and friendly up front! We have gone out on several walks (her in a bag) and she has been doing great getting used to the sights and sounds of SF. She has met some of my friends as well and is very happy to meet new people and be held by them. As you said, the first few days she wasn’t into eating her kibble without the appetite stimulant. I would say that by Friday she started showing interest in treats (her kibble) as a positive reinforcement. She was very mellow that first day but by halfway through Wed her spunk and active personality has come through! She loves to play and run around. I have a couple of chewy toys for her but she also likes an old t-shirt and socks. She sleeps just as hard as she plays too. I got an X-pen for her, so we play there a lot. When I have to leave the apartment for a minute to do something, she has been pretty good in the X-pen. Sometimes she cries a bit and others it’s like I never left. She definitely likes to see me/be near me pretty much at all times, unless she is sniffing around! She has been an excellent night-time sleeper too! She has been going to bed around 9/10 pm or so and wakes up between 5-6:30 am, sometimes sleeps through the night, and other times she will wake me up once in the middle of the night. She figured out how to use the bathroom on the potty pads very quickly and had no problem with that which was also a pleasant surprise to me! I will say she has been quite bitey on skin and fingers, which is of course normal for puppies, but do you have any best practices for that? As for her coloring- I would say she has maybe gotten a tad lighter on the top of her head. I’ll have to look at some photos from last week. She has been shedding a bit! Thank you so much!
