Fun playtime in the yard

The pack always loves it when they can play with the babies and of course the baby puppies love to play with the big dogs too. Our adult beagles are so gentle and our golden is like “Nana” from Peter Pan. She just wants to smother them in her love and they adore her for it.

Enjoy these photos taken in the fall sun today, in the yard.

Select Dog at the National

Words can’t express how THRILLED I am, that Nick received Select Dog today at the Beagle National. With 70 specials, and an entry of 203 in 15s alone, Breeder Judge Annette Didier (Meadowcrest Beagles) sure had her work cut out for her.

Nick makes me just so dang proud every time he steps into the ring. Mike Kurtzner presents him to his finest and I am grateful for that.

With all that 2022 has thrown our way, what a wonderful day indeed!

Sylvie’s baby beagle girl has opened her eyes

We came up with a name for Sylvie’s little survivor – LILIBET. It seemed fitting to honor the late Queen Elizabeth II who just passed away. She was strong, determined, soft hearted, and a huge advocate for pure breeds.

Little Lilibet is growing little a sweet little flower. She is sweet and mellow and yawns when we pick her up. Her eyes are open and we are delighted at how she is growing so far. Syl is a content and attentive mother – we couldn’t ask for more after all she went through.

What a weekend to remember!

It was a day for smiles and hugs today. In the PNW, Kazuri (and Van-Mar) beagles took the gold in breed.

Maddi (pending AKC) went WB/BOW/BOB and is now CH Kazuri N Van-Mar Trouble Takes the Cake – She is Spencer X Puddin’s 7th CH for 2022. Congratulations to owner Sarah Smith-Falkner

and

Beau went WD/BOW/BOB yesterday for a 4 point major under breeder judge Heather Lindberg. Today, he went WD/BOS for his final major under judge Mr Luis Sosa. (pending AKC) he is CH Kazuri’s All I Need Is Love And Cake.

and

Willow (Kazuri’s Cover Me In Sunshine) went WB/BOW/BOB/BOBOH in 13s under judge Mr Luis Sosa and got her first points and played in both groups. Congratulations to co-owner Dolly Stearns!

Not to mention down in Vallejo California under judge Mr Phillip John….

Tex (CH Kazuri N Van-Mar Trouble In Texas) went BOB for his 2nd GCH major and CH defeat in a huge entry of specials. Thank you Chelsea for presenting him so beautifully. Tex also won select dog 2 other days, and so has all his majors and CH defeats towards his CH title.

and

Penny – Kazuri N Van-Mar Trouble In Penny Lane went BOS to him from the classes over 2 specials for her 2nd major!! She also went WB every other day – She is over half way to her CH title with limited showing. Congratulations to her owner Susan Gaffagan!

I am so so proud of these dogs, my co-breeders and their owners/co-owners. It takes a village thats for sure. ❤

Violet and Lee’s pups are visiting

I co-bred a litter with my friend Dolly from JoyfulNoise beagles in Spokane washington. We bred my girl Violet (CH Kazuri’s Keeping Up Appearances) to Lee (BISS GCH Van-Mar The Duke Of Hazzard).

Dolly was coming to a local-to-me dog show and so dropped the pups to me for the weekend. I was only too happy for some “grammy” time and to stack them up and start looking at their progress.

Without further ado – introducing her litter – named after the hit TV show Schitts Creek.

Echo and Dutch’s pups are 7 weeks

How have we reached 7 weeks already? Time is zoomin by and I guess I need to really start making some decisions.

I took photos of the pups on the blue chair and I love how they turned out. I also took some stacked photos of them – hope you like them.

Sylvie’s beagle babies

Sometimes breeding brings us so much joy. And sometimes it brings us heartache. This post is one with some heartache – I have endeavored to be honest about the good, the bad, the ups and downs with my journey in breeding and so I want to share this also. You have been warned and I understand if you dont want to read on.

Sylvie’s baby #2 (the biggest girl) thrived from day 1. She was big and healthy and I am grateful. The first baby, I bottle and tube fed for support as she was tiny – I was afraid that she would use up her energy trying to find a nipple instead of growing so she had equal time with mom and supported with a bottle. Baby #3 was born with an overbite. While overbites are fairly common in neonates (they help the latch), this one was an extreme overbite. More than that, she also struggled to breathe, often gasping for air when there was no reason for it.

I took these photos of the 3 girls. Little did I know, they would be the first and last official photos of baby 1 and 3. We lost them both within the first week of birth. To say that we tried everything to save them is an understatement, but I also firmly believe that sometimes it is not meant to be. I am grateful to Dr Thoreson and the team at Klahaya Animal Hospital who took great care of them (and me) this week.

Sylvie got to see both girls after each passed. She grieved a bit but is going amazingly well. Did she know there was something wrong? or is this just natures way? I dont know, but I am grateful she hasn’t skipped a beat in taking care of our precious survivor.

Enjoy these photos of our little ones:
