Hi – my name is Sarah.  I am the crazy dog loving lady behind “Kazuri”.  I have support from my husband Steve, and although my kids are now off at college, they have been a huge part of our dog journey over the years. 

We are lucky enough to have a hobby kennel located approximately 15 miles North of Seattle in Washington.  Our neighbors and friends have young children, so don’t worry – the puppies still get a lot of socialization as they grow. 

While we say “kennel”, our dogs are primarily our pets, spending their days relaxing on the couch, or playing in our yard.  We live on a lake, so yes they enjoy the water.  Our dogs are part of our family, and any puppies are raised in the same way, in our home.

Our goal is to produce quality dogs that not only look beautiful, and are healthy, but also have the temperament that will make them a life-long member of your family. 

Kazuri is Swahili for “small and beautiful” – and we felt like that was a perfect name for our kennel as my husband grew up in Kenya for a time, and when I went there it was hard not to fall in love with it.

Although our first love was Beagles, we also now own Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and are so blessed to have these two amazing breeds in our home.  We also have a resident Golden retriever called Shirley, who makes a wonderful companion for our family and our other dogs. 

We are proud Breeders Of Merit in both Beagles and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.   

We are active members of the

Inland Northwest Beagle Club (INBC) 

Cavaliers of Puget Sound (COPS),

Columbia – Willamette Beagle Club (CWBC)
