Hope all is well. Sending some updated photos of Brown Sugar’s chocolate dapple girl. She’s been a very good puppy, I’ve gotten so many compliments on her temperament. She’s growing up fast, about 9 pounds now at the 20.5 week mark.

Hi Jake & Josh, I meant to send this update about Stevie Nicks when she turned one, and well, life got in the way. I guess that’s what happens when a puppy takes over your life. So here’s a 15 month update instead. I just wanted to let you know how much I love my sweet/sassy little girl. She has such a great personality and mostly listens to commands (when she wants to). Of course she is spoiled rotten, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. I like to tell people that it’s Stevie’s world, we are just living in it. Everyone who sees her instantly falls in love. I keep contemplating adding another to family, I’ll let you know if I finally want to make the plunge.

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 am 83 years old & have had dogs all my life. After my old lab died I wanted a smaller companion. I formed in my mind exactly the dog I wanted & started the search. When I saw the pictures of Jake’s red litter I knew I had found the right ones to pick from. I drove up to see the pups. I don’t believe I have ever met a more helpful & concernrd breeder than Jake. His pups were in perfect health with shiny coats, great conformation, good teeth & great personalities. I found the exact puppy I had formed in my mind. The pup is very inteligent & bonded almost immediately.

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…

Hi there! Just wanted to send a picture of our cute Bonnie.

Hi Jake, We sure do love Love LOVE this dog! Marty is such a joy. Thank you! I’d love to get in touch in a year or two about a sibling dog but for now he seems happy to be the “only child.” Ps. Here he is at the farmers market in Portland. Flew on the plane just fine.

We adore our new family member! We named him Koda (little bear) as his German Shepherd brother’s name is Kuma (bear). As expected, Koda runs the show. He’s so confident and playful. He’s a quick learner and so sweet. He goes everywhere with me! Thank you for such a special fur baby!

Leo is doing great. He did good on the drive home and is getting the hang of potty training and sleeping in his crate :) He is a sweet and playful guy!

Hey there! We just wanted to email, firstly to let you know that in the next few months or so, we will be interested in a brother for Milo. :) Milo is doing so great, he’s currently healing from his neutering. He did have Cryptorchidism (failure of one testicular to descend into the scrotum), the dr was able to just guide it down once they opened him up, so nothing additional was needed. Milo is officially part human; as he is with me or someone else in the family, 24hrs a day?? and we love it. He’s rambunctious and loving and spoiled. His favorite snack is yogurt with berries and his favorite activity is jumping in the bathtub when I’m washing my hands or brushing my teeth. He’s one of the best things to happen to our family. We can’t wait to get our next puppy from you guys. Here are some updated pictures of our Milo. He also has an Instagram @Milo.Mirabal
