Real stories, shared with love

Good morning, It’s been a year since we came to Grass Valley and picked up our wonderful Manfred from you. We’ve loved every day of having him in our lives. I want to thank you for breeding such loving, gentle, beautiful dachshunds. He’s certainly an important part of our family now. I’m sending you a picture of Manfred in our backyard. He’s looking at a squirrel up in our magnolia tree, and another picture in our backyard. Thanks again for everything! Very sincerely, Sherri, Art, and Manfred

Hi Jake I thought you might like an update on Penny now that she is 1 yr old. She’s adorable and of course everyone loves her! She seems to have topped out at 12.5 lbs. she loves her best buddy a gray 13.5 lbs indoor 8 yr old cat. She gets compliments everywhere we go but enjoys best our time at the stables where she gets to bark at the barn cats and consider playing with the big dogs. I’m recovered from my fractured pelvis and have several walks a day. Working on recall but is only ever off leash in our fenced back yard because she wants to chase anything that moves. She goes to small dog daycare a few times a month and comes home exhausted. She sleeps all night. Thank you for our little buddy! Priscilla

Good evening, My name is Ben T, and I just wanted to reach out to you guys to thank you again for the wonderful dog we adopted from you six years ago. My wife and I reached out in 2019, shortly after losing our elderly dog looking to adopt. We had our eyes set on a little cream colored female and drove all the way up from Santa Rosa to see her, and left with her that day and named her Lemon. I reached out a few years back with an update, but forgot to provide photos since our life was a little hectic at the time so I wanted to take the time to make sure I reached out again. We purchased a house and moved back to Maine, my home state, in 2021 so now we live in Caribou up near the Canadian border. She's adjusted to the winters and the colder weather really well, and she loves playing in the snow. To the point we need to pick her up to get her inside sometimes on the days we have negative temperatures. She loves sticking her face in the snow to sniff and try to track the small critters that might be scurrying around there, and chasing snowballs. She's an absolute goofball and a complete joy to have around. My family up here loved her instantly, to the point where my cousins thought my uncle was going to get a dachshund of his own because of how much he loves Lemon, haha. She is the absolute best dog I could have asked for, and has helped me through some extremely difficult times. After a stressful day at work, or a hard day of dealing with chores, she immediately cheers us up by crawling into our lap. She lives for affection and cuddles, and seems content to sleep wherever we are at so long as she is near us. We could not be happier, she really is the perfect dog for our home. I've attached some photos of her this time. Thank you again, Ben T
