We haven’t decided on a name yet, but we are all in love! The little on ate, drank and has snuggled up with each of us. Thank you again and Merry Christmas!

Hi, Jake and Josh! Just wanted to let you know that we made it home safely with Noodle and he seems to be settling in well so far. His appetite has been healthy and he’s mostly sleeping through the night. He’s really sweet, has been our constant shadow, and is making good introductions with our other dogs. We’ll send another update in a couple of weeks, but we just wanted to say thank you for providing us with the newest member of the pack.

Hello Jake thanks for advice on heartguard. She is very active. Here is a pic of the happy owners. Have a great Sunday.

Memphis is doing great. He is about 100% potty trained and obeying basic commands. He is the happiest puppies. He loves playing all day with his little sister pup and big puppy brother. He loves the cats too but they haven’t decided yet how they feel about him. Then cuddles up at night. His personality is precious and keeps me laughing and smiling every day.

Hi Jake and Josh Elsa on her walk today. She loves to go. She meets her trainer next week and “dog school” starts in January.

Hello Jake! Well, I’m a really bad photographer but I just had to send these. Baxter is 18 mos old now and his winter coat is coming in with lots of little ‘feathers’, which I guess will become more long coat areas in time. Last year his body and chest were still quite smooth. The changes in his coat (combined with his short legs) have made him into sort of a reverse dust mop! The leaf pile in these pictures comes from 1 (yes, one) potty trip outside. So comical !!! He’s getting used to being gathered up and combed as soon as he comes back in (cookies help) but even so, thank goodness for my cordless vacuum, which is certainly getting a workout. This little guy is our darling, we could not possibly love him more ?? Hope all is well with you and that the coming holidays will be wonderful for everyone at Songcatcher!

Hello Josh & Jake! I’m sitting here having a lazy morning with two of the most gorgeous pups ever born. PeeWee & Pickle are inseparable best friends and the joy of our home…. I hope this email finds the “dachshund farm” having a wonderful Friday morning

Good Afternoon, Penny is doing amazing; it’s crazy how smart she is (when she wants to be). I keep thinking how big she’s getting relative to when we got her but everyone else says how cute and small she is. I had two questions I would appreciate a response to if I may ask. 1. Penny is 6 months old today. If memory serves, you suggested getting her spayed at 6 months and not waiting for her first heat or did I get this backward? Our vet is after first heat but will do it before if requested. I just wanted to confirm your thoughts. 2. Second, do all dachshund’s like to bring sticks inside and chew them?!? It’s one of Penny’s favorite things to do; next to me chasing her for the stick. I do get the connection but even if there’s no chase, in they come. Hope everyone is well.

Hi Josh and Jake These two are almost inseparable. Clover took right to Elsa from day one and gives up all her toys if Elsa takes them. They run and play fighter biter and have a ball. Clover has to supervise Elsa’s grooming to be sure she is ok. Salt and pepper couple. They are great company and companions.
