Reflections

Artic
I am writing you to let you know that Arctic ("Hondo") has been doing very well. I simply
cannot believe how fast he has grown. He is learning new stuff every day. We have
taught him "sit" so far and are now working on "high five". He recently worked up the
courage to jump off of the couch. He thinks about it for awhile at first and then gives a
small "yap" to announce that he is leaving. Speaking of which, I've never heard a dog
make so many unusual noises. I swear he comes up with a new one everyday. He is
just what we needed after the loss of our other Shiba. He gave us something to
concentrate on and makes us smile every day. We registered him as "Xander's brother
Arctic Storm" in memory of our other Shiba. You were very helpful through the whole
process and we are now living happily with our little snowball. I will send you pictures
as he grows! P.S. He is still a troublemaker!
Thanks again, Stephanie

Buster
Sherry, Sorry it has taken me so long to send pictures. I have been so busy finishing
up nursing school and work. Buster is doing GREAT!!! He has a great time playing with
his friends Bubbles and Shaft (also Boston's). Shaft is about 32 pounds and Buster
just plays and nips at him with no fear. Buster is definately the apple of my eye!! I will
keep you up to date on him. Thanks again for all of your hard work, especially trying to

Scout
Hi Sherry, Just wanted you to know that Scout is doing great, and
is loving California. He comes to work with me some days (shown
here working hard). Scout likes to go for long walks, and LOVES
meeting new friends ~ people AND other doggies. He is very
loveable and wiggly, and I am so happy to have him. As much as I
was determined to "crate" him, he sleeps with me every night, and
in the mornings I wake up and he is sleeping plastered up against
me. Hope you are well , and Scout sends his love. Tiffany

Darby
Sherry, We cannot begin to tell you how much Darby has meant to us! Kara and I
shopped around the local kennels and the internet for several weeks before coming
across your website. We sure are glad that we did! It is so obvious and exemplary
through Darby's personality, his sense of humor and his loving and warm demeanor
that you spend so much time loving, caring, playing and nurturing your animals. We
cannot THANK YOU enough for assisting us in bringing Darby into our family. Darby
loves to lie down and have his belly rubbed and is MR. PERSONALITY!! Cuddle time
with Kara also rank high on his list! We are not the only ones who see the differences
in Darby versus other miniature Dachshunds. We have had numerous people
approach us about his coat being so bright shiny and vibrant versus others they have
seen, as well as his playful, mild tempered and obedient behavior. If we can ever be a
reference for someone who is considering adopting one of your puppies into their
family and is not sure about you and Quail Ridge Kennels and would like to speak with
us, we will be more than happy to speak with them. Scott & Kara K.

Mosby
Hi Sherry! I'm sorry I haven't written in a while! Mosby's doing great! He's slowly getting
better at his house breakingeaking...but I still have a long ways to go! I love him so
much as each day passes. I literally just want to spend all day with him walking and
playing. He's definitely pretty comfortable in my apartment now. Still afraid of areas he
hasn't been to before, but that's understandable. And he's finally starting to respond to
his name! It really is the greatest feeling in the world when I come home from work
and he's so excited to see me. At the same time, I get so heartbroken when he whines
every time I leave in the morning. Sincerely, Brian

Rocket
Hi Sherry and family, Just a quick update on our "Little man." Rocket is almost twelve
pounds. He is doing great with potty training. Although when the temperature dips
below seventy degrees in the morning he does his business, jumps back into his
warm bed and covers up with his blanket Hilarious! Rocket can come, sit, and lay
down on command. In fact if he sees a treat in my hand he automatically does all his
tricks. It is the cutest thing to see. He loves all of Gods creatures: people, dogs, cats,
bugs, plants, etc.. Rocket loves taking long walks down at the beach. I can't tell you
how many people comment on how handsome and friendly he is. The truth is, he
came this way. It is obvious that this dog was very loved and well taken care of.
Please feel free to use us as a reference for anyone who has concerns about
ordering a dog online from you. We are quite sure that Rocket is the cutest, smartest,
and sweetest dachshund ever! Well, we may be a little biased. We love him so much!

Palmer
Sherry - We just thought that we would give you an update on Palmer. He has brought great joy to our lives. He
has settled in nicely and has made many new friends. We have registered him for Puppy Classes after the new
year. We are looking forward to spending the holidays with a new member of our family. He is so spoiled and has
us both wrapped around his little paws...We are so thankful that you could provide us with such a great pet. He
makes us smile and appreciate the small things in life. We have included some pictures and will with such a
great pet. He makes us smile and appreciate the small things in life. We have included some pictures and will
continue to keep you update as he grows into the fine dog he will be. Thank you so much and have a happy and
safe holiday season. Best regards, Chris, Tabitha & Palmer.

Katie
Well, our new puppy “Katie”, formerly Sierra, is settling in very well. It seems like she’s
been with us for more than a day! Katie likes to follow us around the house and is
always underfoot. She does like her tummy rubbed to help her sleep though. We have
a vet appointment Monday just for a check-up and shots. We’ll let you know how it
goes. Have a wonderful holiday season! Sincerely, Kathy

Rookie
Here are a few pictures of Rookie with the boys. They were so excited and just love him! He is doing great...we are working on potty
training. He loves to play with the boys. He is just great...thank you so much. I will keep you updated on him and send more pics.
Thanks, Jennifer

Andy
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! Andy is doing great, we just love him. Has only
opened 3 presents and pulled 6 decorations off the tree....ha ha!!! I made the mistake
of bathing him before his 'photo shoot'......not an easy task to him sit still after that!!!

Aloise
Hi Everyone, I purchased Pixie back in August. We did rename her Aloise. She is hands down the best dog I have
ever owned. She's very affectionate, very playful and most of all, smart as a whip. My girlfriend and I enjoy every
coment with her. She is doing very well here in Maryland. She has grown to a massive 5.5 lbs. My girlfriend and I
are both looking forward to getting her a new friend in the near future. I can assure you that we will be purchasing
the next dachshund from all of you. Thank you again!

Racer
I am now at home and have met Racer. He is a little love bug. Since the flight was so late, Scott took the kids with
him to the airport. Our son is 7 and our daughter is 21 months. The kids walked up to the crate and Racer came
right to the front to see them (Peanut was not so friendly and Racer had a much tougher trip). He has only been
home for a few hours and has already had races across the living room with our son. He is a tough little guy who
removed the rug from the bathroom all by himself. Our daughter already shared her favorite zoo book with him -
since he had such a long trip, he did fall asleep during her "reading". Peanut is not too sure what to make of him
since Racer is so much smaller - he really loves playing with the bigger dogs. Right now he is cuddled next to me
helping me work on my financial plan - hopefully he will be generous with my budget for the next year. I will send
pictures soon. It is rather difficult to get him to hold still long enough to snap it. I think my thoughts of a picture of both
Peanut and Racer might be a long shot. Here is a picture of Peanut with the kids from Super Bowl Sunday - needless
to say, Peanut was very happy with the results of the game. The Santo Family

Muffin
I know it has been a long time since you have heard from us, but we have been very busy with
Ms. Muffin. She has been successfully house trained for a while now and has become very fond
of her big brother Charlie. When they are not chasing each other out the doggy door or playing
outside, they are busy greeting everyone who visits and keeping an eye out for any action
outside of our house, as you can see by the photo I have attached. We love that little girl, she is
so loving and friendly with everyone she meets. She enjoys sleeping in the bed with me every
night and visiting the ocean every couple of months with her family. We couldn't have asked for a
better baby! As you can see she has passed the 20lb. mark, and our vet thinks she may be a bit
larger than our Westie! I just thought you would like a Muffin update! She loves her home and
she is looking forward to a fun summer with her family! Thanks so much for giving us such a
special girl! Sincerely, Janet
