Hello. After the death of our 13 year old dachshund “Penny”, my wife and myself were not sure if we wanted another dog. We really loved and miss our Penny, and was sure we would be dissapointted in another dog. Our veterinarian clinic highly recomended tou to us and told us about an informal dachshund club. We got invited to a play day and were surprized that a majority of the doxies there were Songcatcher dogs. They were all stunning, regal and beautiful. Even though we were strangers, the songcatcher dogs were crawling in our laps and showing us their bellies too pet. Soon after that we adopted “Meena”. Our little Meena is now a year old, she is everything we hoped for and more. We can thank you enough for all your advice and help.

Hi Josh and Jake- this is Lindsay and Dillon who adopted from you last June. We are thinking about getting another dog soon, as Mochi wants a friend. She is six months now and sooo cute. Are you expecting any litters that would be ready to be taken home around the week of December 10th? I have two months off of work starting at that time and thought it would be a good time to add to our family. Here’s Mochi now! She loves the beach

Good evening, Jake. I wanted to update you that Otto is a vibrant, funny, social, confident (and a little bit of a brute) of a little guy and he has our hearts. He’s 9 lbs, with giant meaty paws which he uses to dig holes everywhere. He’s enjoying life and we are a complete family now that he’s home with us. I’m attaching some photos so you can see what a handsome hound he’s growing up to be. Hope you had a happy holiday season!

Sturgill has been such a good boy!! He has been eating and drinking regularly and slept from 10-5am with no accident in crate! Thank you all so much again. We are in love!! Lizzie

Good morning Jake It has been a year since we brought this cutie home with us. We couldn’t be happier. Louie is a great puppy and we love him so much. He loves to be outside and is very active. Thank you so much for this blessing. Have a great day!!

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!

Hi I got my red “Pistol Packing Pete” from you , and boy was he ever named the right name. I love my with all my heart, even accused of loving him him more than my husband and kids. Truth be known, I do. lol. Thank you for your time happy holidays to you also…

Hello Zanocco family! I hope this email finds you all well. Husband Dan and I purchased Genie from the Aug 9, 2021 Joker x Ginger litter. She’s such a sweet girl! As she nears her second birthday, we feel ready to bring home another Songcatcher pup. Ideally, we would bring him home Oct-Dec. I know that you do not take wait-list requests, but Dan and I would love a long-haired dapple male. Do you anticipate any litters with that coat/coloring being born towards the end of the year? We are very serious about this inquiry, and I would be happy to place a deposit now to secure our spot. I have attached some photos of Genie, including one from our trip to Cannon Beach, OR. She loves the sand but not so much the waves! Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Jake and Josh Clover and Elsa are inseparable. They love playing. It’s amazing the way they pull each other’s ears and lips and bite noses. You think it would hurt. Elsa is doing so well after her spay, the stitches are out and and loves going on her walks. She is not afraid of cars anymore but does not like dogs barking from their back yards at her when we go by. She loves being brushed. Clover wants to get in on the action to be brushed too even though she does not have much hair. They rule the house.

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
