Hi Jake, Just wanted to let you know that the babies are doing well. They may look similar but they sure are different in personality! One is a lap baby…isn’t really wanting to be anywhere else (Glory). The other is a little race car, doing zoomies all over the house and loves toys (Ginger)! We h ave named Glory “Songcatcher Classic Inspiration” and Ginger is “Songcatcher Classic Celebration.” We are crazy about them and want to say how hopeful we are as to their prospects. We will keep in touch as they mature and let you know what the judges think of them when they go out to their first shows this summer. Be blessed,

Hello, it’s been two weeks now and our puppy Xena has felt right at home. She was very shy the first two days but has since opened up and is a little rascal. Her personality is lively, sweet, and quiet. She’s a little bugger and we love her so much already. She has her own bed, a little harness we use so she may get used to it and not run around when she goes potty, and a playpen with her toys and bed big enough for us to sit in and play with her, in addition to her crate, which she will go to in the mornings and curl up in while everyone gets ready for work. It’s her safe den, and it’s cozy. I can’t wait to take her on walks once she gets all of her shots. We will not be getting the lepto vaccine, she is an indoor dog and it can be painful to pups. When she got her last set of shots she was sore and cried and it freaked us the hell out in addition to breaking our hearts. Below are some pictures of Xena, doxie princess, settling in.

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, We just wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and to thank you for such an amazing dog! We decided to name her Cleopatra (Cleo for short) and she’s been the greatest addition to our family this year. She’s a huge ball of energy with the best personality and even became best friends with our other dog right away. Here are some update pictures of Cleo if you’re interested. We want to say thank you again and Wish your family a happy

Hi Jake! Just wanted to check in and let you know how our new little guy is doing. We’ve named him Waylon and he fits in perfectly! You did a fantastic job with him; he is incredibly friendly and doesn’t seem to know any strangers. Everyone who has met him can’t seem to get enough of him! Thanks so much for working with us and meeting Alan in Truckee. He is really enjoying his new little buddy and although he isn’t Cooper, we see a lot of him in Waylon. Thanks again!

I have watched you continue to breed and raise some beautiful animals. It was a stroke of luck that we were able to buy our Tobi from you. He was not our selection, but a selection you made for us. What an animal he is turning out to be. Tobi is extremely powerful. He has to be to wrestle with our 75 lb ranch, pit bull terrier. And he can hold his own. Tobi is powerfully built now weighing about 16 lbs at 9 months. He is flat, board, backed and very wide and strong across the shoulders. He carries a wide heavy hind quarter. Of course kind face and eye. He seldom gets two ft away from me day or night. He cannot snuggle close enough to me all night long. Plays hard and sleeps hard. Tobi would have made a great sire. A great quarter horse trainer once said to be a stallion a horse had to be totally over done. Maybe that’s Tobi. He is outstandingly built everywhere you look at him. He is such a kind and loving animal that I cannot but forgive him for the shoes and belts that he has destroyed. I can replace the shoes and belts, but never this little dog. I trust that you will continue to make others as happy with your quality bred dachshunds as you have made me. With gratitude and highest regards,

I wanted to send you a current photo of our sweet boy, Chalupa Batman. He’s growing at a healthy rate and just finished his final set of shots. He’s doing really well on potty training, uses the stairs, plays for hours, and loves to as we would say, fly like a squirrel! Here’s a video of yesterday and a current photo. We love him so much and he has turned out to be a really good puppy. Thank you so much!! Thank you

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.

Just a brief note and a photo from a couple of days ago. Here is Suki now and she is going on eight months this coming December 5th. She’s such a wonderful little girl. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. Dell

We are obsessed with him already! he is so sweet and has already taken to his crate so quickly (I remember it being more of a nightmare with the dachshunds I had previously). thanks so much again for such a well tempered boy.
