Dachshunds : miniature wire haired.
From my puppy owners - unsolicited!! I have noticed that absolutely everyone is utterly convinced that THEY have the best dog in the whole world. Actually I have, all of them!

Hi Jane.
One year old today.
Hope you can read the card as it’s to all three of the little darlings & the
cakes
to.
Molly is still just the best little dog ever.
Hope you are keeping well & all the dogs Erin & Barra
As well.
Molly has now eaten her cake !
Best regards
Penny Ross & Molly.

Hi Jane.
Just to let you know.Molly slept all night without a sound! She used her paper
during the night for a pee and took herself back to bed. Got up this morning
about 6.45 went out side peed and pooped and then had breakfast. How good was
that?
She is just delightful , follows us around like a little shadow.
It’s difficult not to spoil her. She’s now asleep at my feet but if I try to
move her to her crate she’s awake and slides out again!
Hope you are feeling better this morning and maybe Twinkle is more in the mood.
Thanks again for our wee Molly and for all the good work you’ve put in to help
her transition into her new home.
We’ll keep in touch and of course I’ll always be watching your website for news
etc:
Kind regards
Penny and Ross.

Dear Jane
We would love if you could consider us to become human parents, protectors and friends of a little pup from Twinkle and Barra. She is such a gorgeous girl, Twinkle... and Barra has that cheeky face I remember so well from the first time I saw Pancho.
Keep well and let us know if you need anything. We would love to come and visit you one weekend, when you are not too busy. I think my husband would love to see the whole gang together - I will always remember what a cute vision that was.
I am attaching two recent pictures of Pancho... with a costume Arran's sister got for him. He was in his role...
Regards
Pilar

Hi Jane,
I hope you are well and Hope & Twinkle are happy little dogs like Awa.
On the weekend we went to the first Weiner Derby.
We mainly went to see & meet other dachshunds but to also run in the race. There were 24 mini dachshunds competing (well having fun) they ran 25 metres from one owner to the other. Awa won her first two heats no trouble at all but when it came to the final she didn’t like the shouting and came 4th but once she saw me she was very happy.
The attached photo was take by the photographer that was there and I love it and I thought you that you might too.
There were no other mini wire dachshunds there which we were hoping there would be but we did meet two standard wire hairs.
We are off to Waiheke for the long weekend and we will probably move over for summer the first week of November – to one of Awa’s many happy places.

Dear Jane
We check your website regularly, it is great to know that the big family are doing well and always sweet to see the beautiful puppies.
We are madly in love with Pancho. He is good fun, quite a little character... and the most affectionate little friend. He spends a lot of time with me, is my little shadow. We are truly inseparable.
I am sending you some nice recent pictures of him. The last one was only a couple of days ago.
A big hug from all of us,
Take care
Pilar

Hi Jane,
Awa loves Sunday mornings when she is allowed to have a sleep
in with us, chewing on her favourite toys and going to the beach. A pretty good
dogs life!
Awa hasn't become best friends with the cats but they certainly tolerate etc
other and have an agreement on their zones.
She is such a joy and so many people stop us and ask about her and say how she
delightful and well behaved she is.
We love her so much and we are so grateful that she is part of our family, thank
you so much.

Just received this delightful photo from the owner of a puppy from my last litter
*******************************************************************************************************************
Hi Jane,
I hope you are well.
I thought I would send you an update on Awa. She has had a lot of new
experiences - a trip to Waiheke - she handled the car ferry like it was the
easiest thing she had ever done, she is unconvinced about getting her paws wet -
the photo on the beach is of her looking at the sea but I can't convince her to
get any closer.
When we went to pack up I couldn't work out where she was I knew she was in the
bedroom but she obviously thought she should pack herself in case we forgot her!
We are heading to New Plymouth to see my family and then Turangi to see Richards
family at Christmas so she will get some road tripping in and she can try out
black sand and the lake.
This morning we went down to the beach for a walk & play and as I was walking
back with Awa a car stopped and a mother & daughter got out to meet Awa as they
had been following us. They have a mini smooth so they were desperate to meet
her, she just loves people.
Thank you so much for letting us have Awa she is such a joy.
Have a great Christmas.

Hi Jane,
Meko is hard to photograph, it's easiest to catch her when she's a little
dreamy - hope you enjoy these.
She was micro-chipped today and weighed in at 2.5kg.
Everyone comments on what a happy pup Meko is, she just loves everything and
everyone. Phoebe and I took her to the beach for the first time yesterday,
she chased Phoebe into the lagoon and swam about just loving it.
Meko is amazing the way she uses the cat doors to do her business without
any training from me, she's a total joy, can't imagine life without her.

Dear Jane
Harlow is having an afternoon nap so I thought I’d jump online and write to you.
I’m going to start by saying that you have done a fabulous job of raising and nurturing your puppies. This has made our job and transition of moving homes so easy. For a puppy that has never met children or lots of strangers she is not afraid or timid and her tail goes flat tack. We have elderly neighbours on both sides of us. I introduced Harlow to John and Margaret yesterday and for some reason she really loved Margaret so much that she did excitement wees on her shoes. I’m not sure whether Margaret look similar to you with the glasses and shortish hair if it was her voice that Harlow loved so much. At least Monica got the same waggy tail but no excitement wees treatment.
Harlow slept with us on our bed last night. I tried to be strong and keep her next to us as she has done the last couple of nights but she was so happy to be watching tv on our bed and was snuggled right into Ralph so we just left her. Anyway around 2.30 am she decided that Ralphs face needed washing and was licking him like crazy. Luckily she not a 20kg heffer size dog.
Big cuddles from all of us and big licks from Harlow as well.
All my love Denise

Dear Jane,
She is also a real character and she sure does get enormous amounts of attention when she walks through Wellington city.
But we also like watching your webpage and it's great that you are carrying on with the lovely dogs.
Kind regards
Pia, Alex, Julia and Paul

Hi Jane,
We all just LOVE Declan! He is such a lovely little boy who is always on
the go and ready for play. Right now his favourite game would be chewing
on our fingers and toes! He just loves going out to the garden, diving
under the bushes and tunnels. Such a brave little boy! It's so hard to
catch him when he's running about. I often wonder how he manages to run
so fast despite his short little legs. We always enjoy a game of chase
in the evenings and we would just run around in the garden chasing each
other, and after that he would just tire out and go for a sleep in his
little beanie bed. He is a smart little boy and has learnt to come on
whistle (when he feels like it :) ) and sit and wait for his food. We
really enjoy having him around the house. He is such a lovable clown who
brightens our daily life! Here are some photos of his daily routine.
Cheers,
Shanna

Hi Jane,
Having enjoyed our old haunts in Thailand in March, we have decided to
go back again to live and are off on the 2nd August. Indie is coming
with us and has his travel house
at the ready - we have had it for over a month. We hope you and your
clan are okay and
would thank you so much for letting us have the light of our lives,
bless the little bugger!!!
With fond regards,
Mary, Peter and Indiana xxxxx

Hi Jane
Hope all is well with you and your large four legged family. Dougal and
his
family want to wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Bright New Year.
Dougal is the greatest little character full of fun and mischief, looks
like
butter wouldn't melt in his mouth but I have lost a couple of pairs of
shoes
to his little teeth. He is so clever he can open the lounge bi-fold
doors
the other two have never tried, have to tie the handles together so he
can't
open the doors and make himself at home on the lounge suite (more
nervous he
may decide to take to the leather). I can't believe that we were so
set on
a red wirehaired, this little man is taking over the house and loves
cuddling his dad on a Saturday morning on the bed. Funny the two boys
seem
closer than the little girl and Dougal. Hope you enjoy the photos.
Should the longer hair on his chest and legs be trimmed? Anyway look
forward to your comments on how he looks and any grooming comments. His
weight we are unsure of. He is slightly taller than Toddy (the old boy)
but
he is trimmer than Toddy.
Kind Regards
Sue & Alastair

Hi Jane
We hope all is well with you. Well, young Dougal was a year old on Friday so thought you might like an update on the lad. As I type this email he is on my lap with his nose nearly on the keyboard, into computers is our lad. Our family of with four legs have blended well as you will see from the photos. Dougal is also very good with the grandchildren and they love him. Dougal is about 5.6kgs, little brick really but not fat, he had to have some baby teeth taken out at about 7 months so had the little boys job done as well at the same time. We are really delighted with him he is the clown of the family it no surprise to go outside and find him in one of the large flower pots or sitting on outdoor furniture or deciding to check out the top of the coffee table, not that he does this all the time he is learning the rules but must give things a try at least once. Plenty of toys, bones and cuddles keep him occupied & happy. How are the little girls in Napier? They would be a bit finer that our lad wouldn’t they.
Kind Regards
Sue Mac
P.s. No regrets in not getting a red wire haired - our boy is a cracker!!!!!
