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

Hello Jake & Josh! Pickle is 1 year old today! Passing along her adorable birthday photo as well as an updated photo of PeeWee & Pickle together this morning. They are just gorgeous dachshunds with the softest and smoothest coats…..they get compliments everywhere they go!

Hello One year ago today this sweet girl came into our lives. She’s a very smart, loving dachshund. Wishing you well.

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!

Jake, Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas. Tilly (in her new sweater I made her for Christmas) added a whole new, joyful dimension to ours! Thank you so much for providing me with such a SWEET, LOVING, ADORABLE, puppy! Everyone and every dog Tilly meets loves her, too…

Good Morning, I understand you are considering purchasing a puppy from Jake Zanocco. I can assure you that he is a great guy to deal with and his dachshunds are of the highest quality. We looked at numerous websites to find the right puppy and we were lucky enough to find Jakes website which showed all the available puppies. We picked one out on the website and drove to his place in Nevada City and took a look at the puppy we saw online. We fell in love with her at first sight, and we picked her up when she was old enough to leave her mother. She is a smart, active and lovable little creature, and we are very thankful that we found Jake and his puppies. She is a great addition to our family, after having lost two or our dachshunds last year to old age. Jake is honest and will answer any questions you may have about the puppy you are about to purchase. He’ll advise you regarding their care, their diet and medications. In short, I would highly recommend that you get your puppy from Jake. You’ll never be sorry you drove to Nevada City to buy a puppy from him.

Hi Jake and Josh. The girls are getting along so well. They played gentle tug of war with the blue dog today. Clover lets Elsa take every toy. They are cute together. They look for each other. It’s amazing how Clover brings Elsa her toys. If Elsa wants it Clover gives it to her. Elsa wants anything Clover shows an interest in. Elsa is very curious about everything. Clover wants in Elsa’s crate. Wants to steal Elsa’s stuffed bed time dog. That’s the only toy off limits to Clover. Clover has a big blue rat in her crate that is her bed time toy and off limits to Elsa. They seem very comfortable together. Played gentle tug with a little blue dog toy today. Clover has been pretty cautious about Elsa. Jumps over rather than run into her. No rowdy play yet. Elsa is too young for that. Clover is a muscular girl. Does not realize her own strength so I am glad she is easy with Elsa. We have a crusoe dog Ramp at the foot of the bed and by the couch. Hospital washable pee pads and toys all over the bed and the couch. Elsa’s crate is on the bed till she is comfortable being here then it will be beside the bed. Dogs rule around here.

Theodora at 1 year and 3 weeks. Our forever thanks

Hey Jake! We hope this email finds you well!! We thought you would like to see photos of Glory and Ginger (the 2 red girls you sent in January 2020). They are lovely and such sweethearts!! With COVID we were not able to get them in the show ring as we hoped but maybe in the future when things start to get back to normal we can get them out a bit.

My daughter Cindy was diagnosed with severe multiple sclerosis when she was 11 years old. She was wheelchair bound and had always wanted a Doxie puppy. At the time of her diagnosis, we could not afford a quality puppy. The Make-A-Wish foundation urged us to contact you. They said you have helped other children like Cindy. When we spoke, we were hoping for a calm puppy to help comfort Cindy and sit on her lap. You suggested a more playful pup to help her get moving and out of the wheelchair. You were so right. You sent us a little wirehaired boy with a lot of character. Within a week of having Sparky, Cindy stopped using her wheelchair. Even on bad days Sparky keeps her moving. Cindy now competes in 4-H obedience shows, and they have a wall full of ribbons and trophies. God bless you.
