Hi Amy,
I can't believe that we have had Maddy for six weeks already. She is so adorable. She loves to play with the many toys she has and is fiesty in the morning. We take her on walks everyday and she loves to explore the park we go to. She goes everywhere with me when I go to town. Everyone who sees her thinks she is so cute.
I just bought some more of the Nu Vet Vitamins for her. Here is some pictures of her sleeping, hanging out, and playing with our other dog.
I want another one, but my husband said no. Boohoo....
I love her so much
Thanks for a wonderful puppy.
Hi Amy, again Debbie and I want to thank you for our awesome puppy. We decided on Salem as her name,
btw. Shes been great, albeit a bit stubborn with potty
training, lol. I guess shes about 6 months, now. Shes
starting to get her winter coat as you can see (if
the pic came out OK) We were wondering how long it takes
to get their full coat with tail feathers and all?
She looks to us like she's gona look alot like
Buster,
her Dad, what do you think?
Let us know if you'd like more pics for your
collection as she grows, all though with all your
customers, you must have alot. haha.
thanks again and hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas and new year.
Randy and Debbie
Letters from my Puppy People
Hi Amy,
Just wanted to give you an update on Aldo. He is 9 months old now.
I call him my "miniature" dachshund. He is so handsome and people comment on his markings all the time.
He is a wonderful companion and ready to go anywhere with us. He loves to play, go on walks, run around at the
dog park, and at the end of the day his favorite place is to next to me. Thanks again for such a wonderful dog.
I have included a couple of recent features so you can see how handsome he is.

Hi there!
Just thought I would share a few photos of Chanel. She certainly has a personality! Very smart! Very soft! Can be very loving when she wants to! She loves to eat her toys and spread the white stuffing everywhere! Makes it look like it snowed in the house! And loves a great belly rub after a long walk!
Thanks, we love her very much!

Amy,
oh my goodness he is so cute and adorable he is so precious. we just got home. vicky ignores him and wants nothing to do with him and sits in her crate and pouts and the cats are not sure yet what to think of him. he already bit into sammy's tail and now he is laying on my lap sleeping. i almost forgot how tiny these baby's can be. he cried at first but when we where on the highway he was ok. he had food and water and everything so he is fine. i am taking him to work tomorrow and to a friends house and then we have the weekend we can play and get used to each other. thank you amy he is adorable.

Hi Amy,
I can't say enough about Flame, he is so beautiful, I just enjoy looking at him and he is in my lap much of the time. We go for walks in the evenings and Flame walks so fast I have to pick up the pace, lol! He really enjoys the walks. People have said how calm and sweet he is, that he has obviously been raised with lots of love. One person who thinks all breeders are puppy mills said Flame obviously wasn't a puppy mill dog! I guess most people aren't comfortable getting a dog without seeing it first. I think all of your dogs look well-loved, any person should be proud to own any one of them, and I'm proud to be Flame's forever home. Oh, I am giving Flame a new name, I liked the name Kipling and I call him Kip. He really seems to like it! I took some photos of Kip, aka Flame, in his new harness, also in his belly bands--I even have a belly band with a "flame" pattern on it! I'll send the photos soon.
Have a great day! --Diane

Hi Amy,
Well Tucker is six months old, and I thought I would send you a couple pictures I took of him yesterday. He is such an amazing dog. He has a great personality! He is very spoiled being the “little guy” in the house. Many people have commented on how what a good temperament he has. He loves walks, playing with my mom’s new puppy and going everywhere with us. It breaks my heart on mornings I can’t take him to work with me and he is either sitting in his carrying case ready to go or trying to drag it to the front door.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the pictures. We are so thankful we found you and Longdox. We could not have asked for a more beautiful and loving dog. Thanks!!

You have been sent 5 pictures Of Kasey. He is the most wonderful little guy, has adjusted well with his pals and to John and I. Smart, only takes one time of showing and he has it down. To date he has only had three accidents in the house and is now going out most of the time on his own. Thanks for such a wonderful little boy..........
Hi Amy,
Just wanted to give you an update on Cooper. He had his second vet visit today and received his shots and a clean bill of health. He’s almost doubled in weight since his first visit, so he’s right on track for growth. His behavior and personality are amazing – top notch breeding! He’s very friendly with everyone, not timid to meet people or dogs for the first time, but definitely knows who his “mama” is! He is clearly a confident and relaxed puppy – already sleeping in his crate at night, spends his days napping contentedly in his bed with no fuss, and does really well with leash walking in the morning and evening. And talk about cute! So far he’s kept his dark red color like his mom, and seems to have Hunter’s expressive eyes and handsome face. When I’m out walking with him, people actually stop their cars to comment on how adorable he is. He’s already learned his first trick – sit – and starts his puppy classes next Saturday.
Thanks again Amy – he is just a delight! As soon as he and I both have a chance to sit still for a minute, I’ll take some photos and send them your way.

Dear Amy,
It's been nearly three years since I adopted one of your pups, and he has proven to be one of the more amazing dogs that I, or anyone else, has ever seen. He has come to be loved by neighbors and strangers, and just about anyone else who encounters him.
In the litter, his name was Donny. I renamed him John Crichton and thought I might attach some photos of him.
I thought of it today because I was going to start a facebook profile for him.
Oh, and would you happen to know anything about what happened to his brothers and sisters? Have you ever gotten any photos of them? I wonder often if they look the same.
Thanks,
DJ Kinney
Hi Amy,
I want you to know that I think Bailee is going to be fairly easy to housebreak. She always “does her business” each time I take her outside, which is about every hour and then when she wakes from a nap. When I’m at work she is very good about using the “pee pads” that I put in her playpen in the house. That impresses me so much because her playpen is very large and the fact that she knew where her pee pad was and what it was for is awesome. She has not had one accident in the house yet and she slept through the night on her 3rd night home. The first two nights she only got up because she needed to go outside then she went right back to sleep.
I’ve had dogs all my life and I’ve not been around many that are this easy at 8 weeks old. She is amazingly smart and loving.
She is going for her first vet appointment this afternoon so I can be sure it’s OK to take her to L.A. with us this weekend. She is a great traveler so I’m excited to take her on her first “vacation”. I’ll send you some pictures soon. We just got a new computer so we don’t have all the programs for the photos set up yet. Hopefully, we’ll get that accomplished in the near future.
Thanks again Amy,
Terri
Hi Amy, 08/01/2008
I just wanted to update you on Cash. He is a wonderful little man. Potty training him was just a sinch! He is so gorgeous, everyone who meets him tells me how special and handsome my little Cash is. He just loves all dogs, he greets every one of them with a wagging tail. Although his favorite thing of all is being with people. Cash is the most socialized pup I have ever owned, but of course I know it is because he came from Longdox. I couldn't have expected anything more! I am so lucky to own one of your puppies, but anyone would be. I am looking forward to the next puppy we own from you.
Sincerely,
Megan & Daniel
Dear Amy,
I am so happy to say that "Cinder" has adjusted well to her new home. She is such a delight. And incredibly smart! I take her out after she eats, after naps, after playtime, and before bed. She loves to play in the grass and roll around and play with the leaves. My other two dogs think she is the best too and they get along famously. She lets me know already what she wants, so there isn't any doubt. Today she is 8 weeks and practically housebroken. Her personality is adorable! She is so healthy too. I can't help but believe that your expertise and tender loving care in raising her has given me the best possible puppy! Thanks so much
Hugs,
Gloria
P.S. I think Cinder looks a lot likes her Dad, Jonas!!
Hello Amy,
These are the pics I promise in my earlier email today. As you can see, we have some happy kids! Last night I asked them what they were grateful for and they said: "Poppy!" Also, on the first day of school, Aubrey's teacher had them write a paper about something they wished for and she said a dog.....we sent her teacher these pics and the teacher said: "Your wish came true!"
:)
Happy Day,
Linda
Amy,
Just dropping you a lil update on Blaze. He has made our family so happy. He has such a personality on him. Whenever we go anywhere..people are always in love with him. Today at the vet, the tech had to run him in the back just to show everyone, I had someone even ask if he was for sale..she wanted him. I told her to come to you for one of his siblings. We aren't giving him up. We thank you so much for everything that you have done for us to get this lil bundle of joy here to us. We would definitely recommend everyone looking for an amazing mini dachshund to go directly to you. We will keep you updated with plenty of pics of him as he grows. Thank you again...we can not express in words how much your time has meant to us.
Carl, Jenn and The Brady Bunch!!!
Hi Amy,
Our little Maddy is doing great!
She is the best little puppy ever. Everyone loves her and she loves traveling around with us. It snowed a lot here Friday morning, I let her out to go potty and she started playing in the snow. I didn't think she would like it, but she did. Here is a few pictures of her in the snow and some of my daughter and youngest son holding her.

Hi Amy, 2-17-2009
Just wanted to let you know that the puppy had her Vet exam and fecal sample tested and everything came out great.
There are no parasites and she is very healthy. I had her microchiped.
Thank you for taking such good care to produce healthy, quality puppies.
I have attached another photo of her sleeping.
Thanks,
Katharine
Dear Amy,
I'm sending you photos of Niccolina Isabeau & Taylor Blue. They were born on April 9th so are about 8mos. old here. I flew up to Portland and picked them up with my friend Mary Jane on June 10th. Their Dad is Brodie and their Mom was Freckles. I'm sorry to be so late with an update and thank you but I want you to know I could not be happier with them. I'm not sure how many people are following all your puppies on your website because of these two, but it's impossible to go anywhere without people wanting to know everything about them....My Vet is in love with them (especially Nicci) and may eventually get one from you....I think he has recommended you to some of his clients. When I took them in for their first Vet check my vet came out and said "I know what you went through with Jack (my previous dachshund, who died at 16 -- I waited 3 years to be ready for the new babies) and I want you to know that you can go ahead and fall in love with these little guys, because they are perfect." He was right.
They are extraordinarily beautiful (that goes without saying), but the best part is that they have turned out to be--just as you said--the sweetest natured, happy, loving, healthy little babies anyone could wish for. They love the cats and the cats tolerate them and sometimes lick and kiss them...They love the long horn steers next door (that's right in Malibu we have everything) and they get big sloppy kisses from the long horn steers as well (I promise you that is something to see....although the babies tend to jump back when that happens). They are my welcoming committee for all things human and animal.
They have been housebroken from when we hit the park outside the Airport after our first flight until now. (Nicci has had one or two mistakes but Taylor will find a way to get to some grass--whatever it takes) Nicci is friendly and outgoing...she prefers praise and petting to food rewards. (you told me to watch and make sure that she eats enough) Taylor is careful to test the waters before he leaps into anyones arms....although he loves kids and thinks that when they run around the house it is just for his benefit. (Nicci is a little careful around the kids) Taylor enjoys food rewards at anytime....before I discovered that he would eat more than he needed to if I left the food out he had himself a ball....we started to call him our chunky monkey....but we feed them differently now. Nicci needs to be sequestered with her food and needs a couple of different chow times to consume her breakfast and her dinner. As a result Taylor is much larger then Nicci. He is taller and has a very thick coat and so looks even bigger by comparison....I believe he is 13 lbs. and she is 11 lbs. I have registered them with the AKC and have had them spayed and neutered.
We just came back from spending Christmas up in the snow in Utah and the babies had an absolute ball. They loved the snow and would have spent the day out in it if I would have allowed it. They learned to enjoy hanging out in front of the fire as well and had the best Christmas morning digging into their stockings and racing around with their toys....I think they enjoyed it more then the kids did. (They have no problem with flying either--quiet as little mice)
So....Thank you again Amy,
These little guys have brought much joy.
You should be very proud of the work you do.
All the best with much love and happiness for this new year.
Sincerely,
Carol Hove-Ahmanson
