Arctic
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 get him flown into
Tennessee. Thanks, Alicia

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 lovey 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 ranks 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. THANKS so
much again for all you do for your puppies and we will send you a Christmas
card during the holidays as Kara has already informed me that Darby will be in
the photo! 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 housebreaking...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! L. Jalowiec

brought great joy to our lives. He has settled in nicely and has made many

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 grea tpet. 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!

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 moment 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.

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
