Real stories, shared with love

Hello Zanocco family! I hope this email finds you all well. Husband Dan and I purchased Genie from the Aug 9, 2021 Joker x Ginger litter. She's such a sweet girl! As she nears her second birthday, we feel ready to bring home another Songcatcher pup. Ideally, we would bring him home Oct-Dec. I know that you do not take wait-list requests, but Dan and I would love a long-haired dapple male. Do you anticipate any litters with that coat/coloring being born towards the end of the year? We are very serious about this inquiry, and I would be happy to place a deposit now to secure our spot. I have attached some photos of Genie, including one from our trip to Cannon Beach, OR. She loves the sand but not so much the waves! Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Jake and Josh, Arlo (as we are calling Brown Sugar’s shaded red male) whimpered for about 10 minutes then settled on my husband’s lap for the drive back to Berkeley. He was not car sick and managed the ride well. We have settled him in a pen in our kitchen and he surprised us by eating a handful of kibble without any of the appetite stimulator. I will stay in touch as he becomes accustomed to his new home. He is a beautiful puppy - thank you.

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

Hello! Hope everything has been going okay with you with all the snow and wild weather we had this winter. Cosmo (now 21 weeks) is such a joy. He’s started going to training school for adolescent dogs for a few hours during the week here in SF and the trainers there say he’s the best-tempered dachshund they’ve ever had. They volunteered (without me prompting them ^^) that his breeding really shows and I totally agree; as he's gotten older he has so many wonderful qualities that I'd love to take credit for, but can tell he came with. (First photo attached is grabbed from the school's Instagram Story since they're much better at filmography than me - and most of my photos are of him asleep...) As wonderful as he is, I did plan on leaving the breeding to the professionals and getting him neutered eventually. My vet suggested that I ask what age you would recommend for it based on your experience. 1 year? Longer? Thanks!

Hello! My name is Jenny B. My husband Zac & I picked up our baby boy pup from you a couple weeks ago. We named him Petey. I imagine you may wonder how your babies fare after they leave you… I just wanted to share how wonderful he is doing. He is so happy & I think he loves his new home. We love him immensely, and our other dogs & cat have warmed up. He’s such a good boy! He is healthy. He is loved. We are so grateful, thank you!!

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.
