Incredible weekend at Albany OR

April 7, 2025 sarah.sweetman@outlook.com

I am going to do two posts about this weekend.

Can I just say that going to shows and sharing them with friends makes it so so amazing! Community over competition is my favorite saying and I will stick by it – having friends to cheer on and cheer you on makes it all the sweeter.

Okay – where to begin? Some of these dogs we don’t have photos for (yet). I am just going to say a huge THANK YOU to judges Ms Pam Ramey Lambie, Mr Ron Lukins , Mr David Kirkland , Mrs Ainslie Mills and Mrs Betsy Horn Humer for these amazing wins.

Savannah (GCHB Kazuri’s Gonna Be Peachy) went BOSV and then 2x BOV, with a OHG2 to top it off to finish her Bronze GCH and her OG Bronze titles. She is always shown (and very loved) by Malia Throop.

Murphy (RBIS GCHB Kazuri’s Everything’s Gonna Be Alright) went BOV on Firday under Ms Pamela Lambie.

Gypsy (Joyful Noise N Kazuri Just Lace and Paper Flowers) went WB/BOW/Best Opp for her final major and pending AKC is a new Champion shown by the lovely Cheyenne Calvert

Pickles (Kazuri’s Gonna Be a Big Dill) went WB/Best Opp for her 2nd major towards her CH title shown by Jr handler Peter Tae Meziere

Basil (Joyful Noise It Takes More than Fancy Flying) went WB/Best Opp for a major towards her CH title shown by breeder/owner Dolly Metzger-Stearns

Malibu (Kazuri’s Blue Skies over Malibu) went WD/BOW on both days he showed, to gain 2 more majors towards his championship – he just needs a couple of singles to finish after only a couple of weekends in the ring

Callie (GCHB Kazuri’s Everything’s Sugar N Spice BCAT ATT) played in the Juniors and breed ring with her friend Savannah and I loved watching them work more and more as a team together

Lyric went Bpup HoundG1/Bpup BIS her 2nd time in the ring with Dolly!

We had so much fun as a community – one of our RV neighbors even made a point to come over to say how lovely it was to watch the friendship and support and hear the laughter from our spot. That made me just as proud as the wins. Thats what it’s all about.

Violet’s beagle puppies are 7 weeks old

I can’t believe they are 7 weeks old and almost ready to start going to their new homes. Sigh. It always goes so fast.

They are doing great eating their meals in individual crates, and using their potty box, and even sleeping in a crate on their own. I am so so proud of the progress they have made in a few short weeks as they prepare for their forever homes.

Here are their photos – as tradition would hold, on my favorite blue chair

Girl 2: (tan points) AMORE

Shout out to my wonderful husband

April 1, 2025 sarah.sweetman@outlook.com

Not everyone has a supportive spouse and I don’t take for granted that my hubby works his busy FT job and then assists me in all kinds of ways with my dogs and puppies.

So these photos were taken when I did puppy pictures the other day and i wanted to share them – you can see the puppies are just as in love with him as they are with me.

Thank you Steve for being the best “behind the scenes” partner I could ever have.

I could watch these precious little beagle puppies all day long. They are so happy and confident.

Enjoy photos of them outside with our other dogs

Violet and Denver’s puppies turn 6 weeks old

March 29, 2025 sarah.sweetman@outlook.com

6 weeks old and raring to explore the world. They want to play outside more and more, and thankfully the spring in the PNW is allowing it to happen most days.

They are starting to sleep in a crate by themselves – it’s a big step in being ready to go to their new home.

We are going to try and narrow down picks this week.

Enjoy their latest photos <3

Violet and Denver’s beagle puppies are 5 weeks old

March 22, 2025 sarah.sweetman@outlook.com

5 weeks is such a fun age – they are still little and awkward but they are also getting more adventurous.

We introduced them to the pack this week and they LOVE the bigger dogs. I am grateful for little ones that are just enjoying growing up in every way possible.

Violet and Denver’s beagle puppies explore the outdoors

March 16, 2025 sarah.sweetman@outlook.com 2 Comments

The weather has been a little crummy and so I always hesitate about when to expose the babies to outside as I want the experience to be a positive one.

Today the weather had some sun breaks and it got into the 50s so we took the pups outside for 15 mins – the two girls were confident right away – the 3 boys took a little coaxing before their little noses went to work and they felt it was okay to explore as well.

Beagles are so so fun as they truly only need a short time to acclimatize to mew situations even at this tender age. our plan is to get them outside for supervised playtime every day and introduce them to the pack this week also.

Violet and Denver’s puppies are 4 weeks old

March 14, 2025 sarah.sweetman@outlook.com

It has 4 weeks since these beautiful beagle puppies were born and they are confident on their feet. Today I decided, since it was sunny outside, that I would attempt to take photos of them outside.

They were very busy sniffing and walking around so the photos arent the best, but you can see they are growing.

and yes, I did trim nails right after this 🙂 LOL.

Enjoy

Violet’s puppies try puppy mush for the first time

March 10, 2025 sarah.sweetman@outlook.com

Violet’s little ones tried puppy mush for the first time today and LOVED it – they licked and chomped in and had so much fun. I was very impressed at how quickly they changed from trying to suck it to licking it which is a bit of a skill change.

Enjoy their cuteness <3
