Ivy’s sweet babies open their eyes

Leave a comment

Ivy’s little ones are two weeks already, and I couldn’t be more in love with these little beagle babies. I did DNA swabs on them this week, and so in 4-6 weeks we should know for sure if Nick or Max or both are the daddy’s of these little ones.

Ivy is a wonderful and attentive mom. The babies are starting to move about the whelping area and so Ivy is enjoying the bed we have given her so she can take a little break from time to time.

Their little eyes are starting to open – I know this week will come more changes and toddling about.

Enjoy these photos of them from this week <3

Ruby and Piper’s cavalier puppies play in the garden

Leave a comment

It was a lovely spring day (yes, I am excited that it is officially spring) and so we took some photos in the green garden.

These little cavalier pups are heading to their first opthlamologist appointment this week to have an eye check – then they will see a cardiologist too. This is standard procedure for all Kazuri cavalier puppies so we have all the information we need before they set off to their forever homes.

These pups have the most amazing families waiting to bring these sweet little pups home.

Manny (Piper x Tater Tot) 10 weeks

Holly (Charlie x Ruby) 9 weeks

Mistletoe (Charlie x Ruby) 9 weeks

Ivy’s beagle pups are 1 week old

1 Comment

Ivy is a wonderful mother. The babies are well fed and always sparkly clean. She loves to come out for snuggles and belly rubs and then is quick to go for a potty break and back to her mothering duties.

A good dam is worth her weight in gold and Ivy is worth every ounce. <3

We wont know who the sire of this litter is until DNA comes back in 6-7 weeks – stay tuned 🙂 Is it Nick or Maxim?

I took some pretty pictures of them – I am going to call them the President’s Week Litter since they were born the same week as President’s Day.

The Cavalier puppies have their Blue Chair Shoot

Leave a comment

Anyone who follows me knows how much I love the blue chair as it makes every puppy’s color pop – I just love photos taken on it.

Manny is 9 weeks now and Mistletoe and Holly are 8 weeks. It felt like a good time to take their photos.

In the coming weeks, they will have their opthamologist and cardiologist appointments (Standard go home protocol for my ckcs puppies) and start learning how to crate train. I am amazed at how fast these weeks start to go as we enjoy them so much.

The cavalier puppies love playing outside

Leave a comment

Manny, Holly and Mistletoe are growing so fast. They are learning new skills like teetering on uneven surfaces, navigating stairs, following when we call, and eating on their own (yes this is a skill they have to learn).

The weather is mild this week so they have been able to play outside without their little jackets on – they are SO happy! They run around and chew on each other’s ears and tails – more than anything, it is delightful to see their happy little bounces as they enjoy the fresh air.

All three are social and happy. Their little personalities are starting to emerge. I cant wait to see the results of their Volhard tests and see how right I am about their baseline.

We have one ruby cavalier girl available to the right home. She is more reserved in nature – friendly, but likes to watch rather than initiate. I think she would do amazing in a home where she is the 2nd dog, to follow, or with a more quiet home that wants a snuggle bug.

Ivy welcomes her beagle babies to the world

1 Comment

Ivy decided that she wanted to take her sweet time to bring her babies into the world. I had her EDD as Monday or Tuesday. Both days she was restless and showing signs of starting but not really being serious yet.

By Weds i had her checked – her progesterone showed that she wasn’t quite ready and her fetal heartbeats were strong and normal, so I opted to wait it out a little more.

I had a camera on her at all times, and pretty much walked around with it, so I could watch her but also give her space. She loved sleeping in weird positions – especially burying herself under all the blankets.

Wednesday night, she panted a lot and her temp dropped so I knew we were on track for things to progress. It was a long night of digging, restlessness and panting with sleep and potty breaks in between. I “slept” right beside the pen.

Around 5:30am she was wanting me to be with her. I figured she was getting closer. She vomited a little and her fluid bubble came out and popped. I knew we would be seeing a baby in the next few hours (if not sooner).

Sure enough, just before 7am, we had some major pushing and our first baby was born – a baby boy – 10.45oz

Ivy went right to work taking care of him – she is really wonderful momma.

Around 8am she started pushing again and we had our first girl – 10.95oz

By 8:15 baby number 3 was born – Ivy wasn’t wasting time – another boy – 11.10oz – they kept getting bigger!

at 8:45 baby number 4 arrived – another girl – 10.20oz

Ivy then settled in with her 4 pups. I was pretty sure I could feel one more high in the horn – i knew she would need some time for it to move down into the birthing canal. I was right, and at 10:40 our final baby girl arrived – 10.45oz.

Ivy has had 2 litters now and she is my only girl to have more girls than boys both time. Well done Ivy girl.

Now we will need to wait a few days and DNA test to see if Nick or Maxim is the daddy of these pups. It will be fun trying to figure it out in the meantime.

Momma Ivy and the babies are all doing well – thank you to everyone who has messaged. <3

The Cavalier pups are integrating into our life here at Kazuri

Leave a comment

We do not have a “Kennel” – our dogs are our home pets and part of our family. So, our puppies are raised as much as we can with our family. As the puppies get old enough, they start to meet the older dogs, have time inside playing with toys and outside when it’s not too cold. They have even been watching Nick during his treadmill sessions to keep fit – I like to think of them as his little cheerleaders.

Enjoy the photos of them integrating into life at Kazuri

Piper and Ruby’s Cavalier puppies are growing

Pipers little Manny is 6 weeks old and Ruby’s girls Mistletoe and Holly are 5 weeks old. They are enjoying three meals a day and are getting very good at using their potty box, so their play area is staying nice and clean.

It is fun to see their little personalities starting to emerge. Manny is very outgoing – he has started to growl which sounds like a little trill from a chipmonk. He thinks he is very tough, but melts when you pick him up.

Mistletoe and Holly have started to play too, but are much more laid back than their “brother”. I think Holly is the most laid back right now, but that can easily change as they are exposed to new experiences coming up.

We play movies for them through the day – Jurassic park, Transformers, Saving Private Ryan – anything with loud, strange sounds so they think those noises are normal and not scary.

I am so pleased with these sweet babies – I am so thankful they are healthy and happy little ones.

Piper and Ruby’s cavalier babies have their first proper photo shoot

I have been a little busy and so haven’t had the chance to document the cavalier babies with my proper camera. So, today I thought it would be good to do that.

The cavalier babies are starting to get up on their feet – I have put them in the same area and they now sleep together. I think it is especially good for Piper’s boy, affectionately known as “Manny” (Short for Emanuel). Ruby’s girls are “Holly” (with less white spots) and “Mistletoe” (with the white lines).

I hope you enjoy these.
