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.

Hi Jake and Josh! I hope your family had a wonderful holiday season! I wanted to send some updated photos of Genie, who is now a little over 5 months. She’s just gorgeous, and the apple of our eye. We’re already thinking about a little brother or sister for her in a few years time, should we add ourselves to the wait-list now? Haha!

Hi Josh, We are loving Marty! He already knows how to fetch and put the toy down for us to throw again. Going out the dog door to pee is another matter…working on that. And he loves the raw food so we’ll keep it up. He seems ok with the puppy harness and doing short walks around the block. Nothing wrong with Marty’s teeth. Here he is chewing up the Tasmanian Devil Thanks!

Settling in. Took a bit for him to get his appetite back but he’s doing well. He’s adorable, smart and doing great! We love him!!

Hi everyone! It’s Michelle D. and I just wanted to send a quick update to let you know how happy and healthy our dog is! Bette Davis is the absolute light of our lives. She’s gentle, EXTREMELY playful and never leaves my side. However, she hates her nail trims and waking up before 10 am! Please give Opal and Dapper Dan our love and let them know their little girl is having a great life. Enjoy the holiday weekend and as always, thank you for our wonderful dog.

Hi Jake, looks who’s 6 months today, Gordon Tigger F. He weighs 12 lbs. and is beautiful. We are having so much fun together, just got home from the Oregon Coast. Gordy loved running on the beach and playing in the water, he thinks he’s a water dog. He also loves riding in the car. I’ve had severial compliments on his build and long ears. I remember you telling me he would have long ears. Gordy loves everyone and he’s not a barker. I’m thankful, I found you and your puppies. Gordy is amazing and has brightened my life.

We just wanted to give a quick update on our sweet Luna. She is doing so well. We are obsessed with her, she’s the most beautiful (now 7 months old) puppy. She goes everywhere with us. She runs the house, but her temperament and personality fit seamlessly into our family. Her big sister is a 90-pound lab mix and they play so well together. We are already planning for our next puppy, it will be a little while, but we can’t wait to add another beautiful ween to our brood. Thank you for this wonderful addition to our family.

Oliver is one in a million, Jake. He is learning so many words, now. Today, he finally understood “wait” at the top of stairs for me to get there. He is so funny, having a definite sense of humor. He laughs at me quite often, and makes me laugh at myself. He now likes to retrieve two balls, carrying one in his mouth, while kicking the second with his paw. Rather remarkable. I have been scrap booking, looking at my history with dogs, including the 4 Guide Dog puppies I raised in 4-H. We had pugs and mastiffs on the ranch. Oliver is above and beyond any dog I have ever known. I have been thinking about a sister for him. But, I could not do justice to two. Just a year ago, I slept for the first week holding him in my chair all night. I was so worried Terry would never, ever bond with a dog. How silly. The hours of training are paying off. And, Terry loves Oliver as much as I do. I just bought Ollie a martingale training collar. He is responding well. It seems he is more responsive than with a regular training collar. I like the design. Still a choke collar, but a little different. Carry on with your amazing pups. I am so glad I found you and Oliver. You never know when we might decided we need another. Merry Christmas,

Hello Jake & Josh, A very big and heartfelt thank you for introducing us to this magnificent pup that we have named Chloe. We are so in love and Chloe has integrated into our family perfectly. She is so sweet, smart, brave, calm , adventurous and a love bug. Honey is helping with potty training and I can report we’ve hardly had accidents. She has caught on so quickly. Starting to sit on command (copies Honey) and we are working on recall with her name. She has already grown so much, using ramps and stairs for furniture and very respectful to Honeys first days of grumpy attitude. Now they are play and snuggle friend. She eats well, sleeps great and loves to play. She was a champ in the car ride home with no issues at all. We are going to stay with our pack of two for now and when Honey moves on will be back in touch to get a puppy sister for Chloe. I’m so impressed with the quality of this dog. Thank you!!!!!!! Gina, Hunter, Sabi , Chris and Honey

Jake: It’s Dan D. from Reno. I have not sent you pictures of Lizzy and Lucy lately, so I took this one tonight and thought you might like seeing that they are both doing well. Lizzy, on the right is turning into a great little dog and a great addition to our family. We feel lucky that we met you when we did. Hopefully all is well with you and your family, and your gang of dogs. Have a great week.
