I searched from our area in Washington to the east coast and back in search of a reputable and caring breeder. We lost or 18 1/2 yr old dachshund a little over a year ago and replacing her was a very big emotional adventure for us and our daughters. After getting taken for a ride by one so-called breeder and losing our deposit, I was hesitant to even keep searching. I came across Songcatcher and honestly only clicked the link because I really liked the name.??. Little did I know my email would be answered right away by Jake, and then excellent communication from there on out with Josh. They answered all of our questions all of the time and even called our puppy by name until we made the 16 hour drive south to pick him up. Josh met us at our hotel and was very professional and thorough with our precious delivery. They emailed 3 months later when our requested second puppy had been born and the same exceptional communication and happiness rang through with puppy #2 as well. My husband flew this time to Sacramento and back in one day and Josh met him at the airport for the exchange. Both our puppies, PeeWee & Pickle are not only healthy, but ridiculously loving and absolutely gorgeous! Our vet fell in love with them and said “you did good wherever you got these two”. I’m attaching a picture of our babies from just this morning. They are best friends. If I could afford it and had the patience for more pups I would get back on the waiting list and go through this process over and over again with Jake and Josh and their dachshunds. I hope this was helpful for you in making your decision.

I want to give you an update on Ottis aka Magic, and ask you for an address seeing I would like to send you a little thank you. He is sleeping all night in his create and comes in my bed in the morning to snuggle. (no training needed) He has rode in the bike basket a few times and did great. He is wonderful on leash (no training needed) just working on him sitting at coroners and went I stop to sit too. He got the hang of the dogie door the first day and has had no accidents in the house so I do not need any barriers to block him from the carpet areas. He is so smart and has been adjusting so well we can’t thank you enough. He is a bit skittish of my parents but I make him interact so I am sure he will come around. As you stated he can care less about toys and he is not food motivated when training him, but loves his praise. He was so funny when he first saw himself in the mirror is his very vain and wanted to play with himself. It is been so fun watch him have new experiences and us both learning on the way. We just love him so much. I only hope he will be OK once we can get him around people more when he is on his walks he now stops to barks at people or dogs passing by but when I tell him it is OK he settles down. Ottis is getting the sitting and staying down too. He teeth look great I waiting for his toothbrush and toothpaste to come in is he used to have his teeth cleaned and ears cleaned? I just concerned seeing we are home all the time he dose not get separation anxiety but we have been trying to leave him along and thus far he has done great. He goes into his create during the day but I have to tell my daughter to let him be on his own they both want to be with each out all the time. I want to thank you once again he has brought such joy to our home in this darken days.

Hello Josh- I wanted to send you and your father a photo of our boy Finnegan on his first birthday!

Growing into a big girl, 7 months and meeting snow.

Hi Jake Just wanted to send some cute pictures of Louie. Thank you so much for this gift my life. He’s absolutely the best! We love him so much. Thank you

Hi Jake, Just sending some recent pictures of Leon. He is approaching 10 months and is growing beautifully. He is such a sweet and cuddly little guy. Thanks again for such a loving boy. Hope all is well.

Hi Jake, I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything. This first week with Winnie has been incredible, and she’s been such a dream, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She’s adjusting unbelievably well. She’s confident, loving, and honestly one of the smartest dogs we’ve ever seen. On her very first night home, she walked right into her crate and tucked herself in when she was ready for bed like she already knew it was home. It completely blew us away. And by day 2, she had already figured out how to let us know when she needs to go outside to use the bathroom. Now she runs to the door or gives us a look, and when she’s hungry, she runs straight to her bowl. There’s no guessing with her. She just knows how to communicate exactly what she wants. It’s obvious she came from a thoughtful, loving, and structured environment. You gave her such an incredible foundation, and we just wanted to say how much we appreciate it. She’s doing so well and is already so loved. Warm regards, Joseph G
