Ivy’s pups are 6 weeks old

Where have 6 weeks gone?? Time is flying by much faster than I would like it to for these precious little beagle puppies. They are still very small and so I think I will hold onto them for an extra couple of weeks just to make sure they are strong and healthy for going to their new homes.

They are enjoying more time outside now that the weather is not as cold which we are grateful for. They learn so much when they play outside and their little muscles are developing more. I love how curious and confident they are.

I still haven’t heard from akc who the dad/s are – they say maybe 4-6 weeks – sigh – we have waited that long already. hopefully the results will be in before they start going to their new homes.

Ivy’s pups are 5 weeks old

I will start this with “These pups are overall the smallest I have ever had”. They are healthy, eat well and play like crazy. They are just mini little pocket beagles. 🙂 Just kidding about the pocket beagles – but they are small. The biggest puppy is barely 3lbs and the smallest girl is just over 2lbs.

They are eating 3 solid meals a day and Miss Ivy is a wonderful playmate rather than a nursing momma. She loves her babies so much – but she doesn’t love their sharp teeth.

These pups are now listening to sounds of engines and fireworks. They have a mini staircase and slide to play on and uneven toys so they learn to be stable on their feet. They take each new activity with curiosity and I couldnt be more pleased.

Because it was cold and rainy, we did pictures on the blue chair this week – they look so teeny on it – lol.

DeeJay and Nick’s beagle pups turn 3 weeks

DeeJay’s pups are chubby and thriving. They are not walking yet but we are trying to encourage that with some supports under them. Maybe having their first meal this coming week will help.

In the meantime we love their snuggly little selves – and are enjoying the quiet before the storm of busy arrives

DeeJay’s beagle babies are 1 week old

DeeJay’s 3 little ladies are thriving. They are very mobile and it is not unusual for us to find them tucked in a corner content and sleeping away. What a blessing to have them be so healthy after the loss of their brother.

We have decided to call them strong female names like the power trio they are

SO introducing

Ivy’s beagle pups are 3 weeks old

Ivy’s pups are strong and healthy. They are starting to wobble around on their little legs and the beginning stages of play is happening – it’s so cute to watch them explore their pen. They have well and truly taken over Ivy’s bed as their own. They know a good thing when they experience it (clearly) 🙂

This week they will experience food for the first time – we will start with goats milk and a little ground beef, with probiotics in it. It’s usually a big hit.

Enjoy their little beagle photos

The Columbia Willamette Beagle Specialty

The CWBC decided to put on a second specialty weekend this year. We decided to enter a few dogs and our efforts meant that we walked away with some amazing wins. I’ll try to remember them all.

Sweepstakes – under judge Terri Erickson

Skylar (Youngsong Chasing Dreams At Outwest) bred by Lisa Young and Jenni Nieft and co-owned by me, piloted by Dolly Stearns won Best 15 and then Best In Sweepstakes.

Leo (Kazuri Wonderlust Trouble At the Top) bred by Malia Throop and Sarah Sweetman, owned by the Jaycee family won Best Opp in Sweeps.

Potato (Kazuri N JoyfulNoise Sunshine on a cloudy day) bred by Sarah Sweetman and Dolly Stearns and owned by Kayla Bonnin and Sarah Sweetman won Best 13 in Sweeps.

Then in the CWBC specialty under judge Dr Camille McArdle DMV

Nick (MBISS MBIS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas ATT CGCU FDC BCAT) won 15s and then went on to winning the specialty.

Cardi B (Kazuri’s A Little Sweet A Little Spicy) Bred and owned by Sarah Sweetman won 13s Winners Bitch for a major at 6.5 months old

Milo (Kazuri’s Want Some Milo Magic) Bred by Sarah Sweetman and co-owned by Sarah Minzer won 13s WD/BOW/Best Opp for a major at 6.5 months. He went on to win Best Puppy In Show!

Potato (Kazuri N JoyfulNoise Sunshine on a cloudy day) won Select B in 13s with owner Kayla

Savannah (GCHB Kazuri’s Gonna Be Peachy ATT CGC FDC FCAT) bred by Sarah Sweetman and co-owned by Malia Throop won an Award of Merit in 13s.

Dunkin (Kazuri’s Do-Nut Give Me Trouble) bred by Sarah Sweetman, owned by Diane and Aldo Branch got Winners Dog in 15s

Olivia Newton John (Kazuri’s Summer Lovin’) bred and owned by Sarah Sweetman won Winners B/BOW/Best of Opp over a special in 15s. She also won Best Bred By Exhibitor in Show!

To say that it was an incredible day for Kazuri and the team – I am so thankful for the people who trusted me and my breeding program to have my dogs part of their world <3

Thank you to the CWBC committees and board for putting on a wonderful well run show. The packed lunch was great and it was very fun (even if it was chaos also)

DeeJay welcomes her babies into the world

Before this breeding took place, I knew DeeJay would be due to give birth during or around our specialty show. I asked a trusted friend if she was available to whelp them and she agreed. I was so grateful and knew they were in good hands.

DeeJay’s xray showed 4 big pups and so due to her tiny size, we decided to do an elective C. It turned out that they just looked big comapred to her small size as they were not that big at all.

She came through surgery just fine and had 3 girls and a boy. Unfortunately, shortly after birth, the boy became purple and struggled to breathe. Despite all the best efforts, we lost him. I have to believe there was something wrong with him that would have made his life difficult. While it is never ever easy to lose them at birth, losing them after weeks or months is even harder.

DeeJay is a wonderful momma, just like her mom and grandmother before her. She takes very good care of her littles <3

Ivy’s sweet babies open their eyes

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

Ivy’s beagle pups are 1 week old

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.
