A great Hound Show weekend

What a great Hound Show with the Western Washington Hound Show this weekend. We were thrilled that Mike and Karen and Nick snuck across from TN to attend these shows. We finished 2 dogs and got group placements in a beautiful line up. Fantastic.

Here is how the weekend went –

On Saturday Audrey (Rosehounds Brown Eyed Girl at Kazuri) bred by Bonnie & William Farrell and owned by Bonnie and myself, went WB for a major towards her CH. She just needed 1 more to finish. On Sunday, she did just that and finished 🙂

On Saturday Murphy (Kazuri’s Everything’s Gonna Be Alright) bred by myself, Mike & Karen Kurtzner and owned by Sarah Smith-Falkner andmyself, went WD/BOW for a major towards his CH. He just needed 1 more to finish. On Sunday, he did just that and finished as well 🙂

And to top off a wonderful weekend, Nick (MBIS MBISS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGC TKN ATT) won BOV and then Hound Group 2 both days.

Thank you to judges Mrs Marylyn Pipes and Mrs Lori Nelson for the placements on Saturday and to Mrs Lori Nelson and Mr Hal T Beirmann for the placement on Sunday.

The beagle pups get loads of socializing with my niece

My family is visiting from NZ and one of my brothers has a 1 year old and a 3 year old. The 3 year old is obsessed with holding the beagle puppies – she is super gentle and always supervised. I am thrilled with how many positive experiences they are having with toddlers.

Enjoy the photos that I took today <3 Im in love

Echo’s beagle puppies turn 3 weeks old

Echo is continuing to do a wonderful job with her little ones. They have tasted and love food and so that’s a new achievement unlocked. I will post some pictures of that soon.

I did their photos on the blue chair today as they are starting to move about and I think by next week they will want to explore and move around too much 🙂

Enjoy their latest photos

Echo’s beagle babies turn 2 weeks

Echo is keeping her little ones very satisfied and so they don’t really want to move around a whole lot yet. Their eyes have tiny peeps so we should have eyes open by the end of the week.

I am loving their bone and their lovely heads – its a very consistent looking litter and I can’t wait to see how they keep developing once they are up on their feet.

Kazuri wins multiple awards for the NBC Best of the Best 2022

If I’m honest, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude with the honor of standing beside such incredible breeders and exhibitors and humbled that I had a part to play in several of the awards given out for 2022.

The National Beagle Club announced that Nick is the official 15 inch beagle of the year for 2022. I am beyond grateful to co-breeders and co-owners Mike and Karen who have made Nick the superstar he is as they take him to all the shows across the US

It was a 3 way tie for “Stud dog of the year” – each with 7 CH progeny- Nick (MBIS MBISS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGC TKN ATT), Spencer (BISS CH Ha’Pennys Too Much Trouble) and Alvin (BISS GCHS Tallie Farms Mysteries and Mayhem) – I am so thrilled for breeders and owners of Nick – myself, Mike Karen and of course Penny Petrille who is Spencers breeder., to Dan & Terri Carter (Spencers owners when he was alive) and Susan Kustrup (Alvin’s breeder and owner) – congratulations to each of these deserving dogs.

As if that wasn’t enough, the girl Chelsea Metteer and I imported from Australia and bred her together, Puddin (Aus CH Karakush Proof Is InTh Puddin) won Dam of the year with 7 CHs from one litter (Her litter with SPencer). Huge thank you and congratulations to her breeders Leigh and Helen Gibson.

The thing I marvel about is none of this was done alone. I have strived to build community with my life in dogs and the fact that all of these wins were with my friends is such a bonus. I am so grateful for all the work and effort of those who went before me to set me up for such success. So thank you 💖 to my co-owners, co-breeders and everyone cheering us on.

I say it all the time, but we are better together. At least I know I am. 💖

Echo and Murphy’s beagle pups are 1 week

Echo is a super mother and has full cream milk – all of the puppies have already doubled their birthweight. She keeps them clean and warm and they are content.

I can’t wait for their eyes to start opening in the next week or so.

Echo and Murphy’s pups are doing well

They are 2 days and already up almost 2oz each – these babies are thriving thats for sure. I am so happy.

So far it looks like they are pretty consistent and I can’t wait to watch them grow up. We named them after cities around the US

Echo welcomes her beagle litter with Murphy

Echo welcomed 4 healthy babies via planned C-Section today – her labor didnt progress last time and so with bigger babies on board we thought that it would be smart to just make the decision before it became an emergency. She came through surgery well and was already licking her babies while waking up. She is an excellent mother. I am grateful.

Just like last time – she had 3 boys and a girl. so I will introduce them below

Girl – 10.0oz

Boy 1 – 12.05oz

Boy 2 – 10.10oz

Boy 3 – 11.75oz

Back home they are all settled and happy. I am so thankful

Dutch wins Best In Specialty at CWBC

I am beyond thrilled with Dutch – (now BISS GCH Van-Mar N Kazuri Brewin Up Trouble)

Today at the Columbia Willamette Beagle Club he thrilled me by going BOV and then BISS!! With me at the leash!

This was so exciting as he was piloted by breeder/owner – me (Sarah Sweetman). It was also exciting because this is the 2nd BISS winner from our Spencer x Puddin litter. Audrey got a BISS only last month. SO now we have 2 BISS and 2 group placers from this special litter

Dutch was bred by Chelsea Metteer and myself Sarah Sweetman. He is owned by us and Sarah Smith-Falkner.

Thank you to Leigh and Helen for Pud, and to Terri and Dan for the Spencer semen. Thank you to everyone ringside who helped me get dogs and hold dogs while I was in the ring.

It was such a fun day 💖

Unfortunately the judge, Mrs Ann C Meyer was judging Whippets (64 of them) and I couldn’t hang out and wait till she was done to get a photo with her. I am so thankful to her though.
