What a beautiful start to the Summer we are having indeed. Ivy’s babies are enjoying being outside with the pack and exploring more of the yard. We don’t leave them out there unsupervised of course, but it’s wonderful to have the space for them to run and play safely.
I had an incredible weekend with Nick this weekend.
Nick, (MBIS MBISS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGC ATT BCAT TKN) won Bov each day at the Chintimini Kennel Club in Albany OR. Thank you to judges Ms Pamela S Lambie, Mr Ronald Lukins and Mr David J Kirkland for finding Nick in the breed ring.
On Friday, Nick won BOV made the cut in the Hound Group under judge Mr David J Kirkland.
On Saturday, Nick won BOV and received a Hound Group 4 under judge Ms Pamela S Lambie
And on Sunday we won BOV and a Hound Group 1 under Mr Ronald Lukins, and an OH Group 1 under Mr David J Kirkland, and onto OHBIS under judge Mrs Ainslie L Mills!!
I am so proud of Nick who gives it all every time he steps into the ring. I am so proud of how far we have come after only 4 weekends together as a team!
Nick is handled by me, as his owner and breeder. I am so thankful of course to co-owners/co-breeders Mike and Karen for laying the most incredible foundation for me to step into with Nick.
The road to Double Plantium continues for us
Win photos to come – the rain set in Sunday so we apologize about the dark indoor photo!
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.
I love the snow much more than the cold and wet we so often get in the PNW. The beagles and golden just love the snow too – its so sweet to watch them playing chase, finding sticks and just enjoying themselves out there.
I know it wont last long here in Seattle, so we will enjoy it while we can.
Enjoy the photos of them all – the 12 week old babies in the coats are Kiwi (blue-almost going to his new home) and Elphaba (colored) and Glinda (red).
The beagle puppies are 5.5 weeks old and I stacked them today so start to look at their structure. Most of these puppies will go as companion pets, even if they could be shown. A couple of these lovely babies will stay around Kazuri to be part of our future generations and team.
A couple of boys are available to the perfect home – please use my questionnaire to enquire about them.
Enjoy the photos of the beagle babies – which is your favorite this week?
I am so proud of Mr Charlie who won WD/BOW on Friday under judge Yvonne Savard and then reserve on Saturday on Mrs. Carol C Sommerfelt and then WD again on Sunday under judge Mr. Gary Stiles.
Charlie (Kazuri’s The Mystery of Hope) is owned by me (Sarah Sweetman) and was bred by Becky Smith & Sue Savage Green. I am very thankful to them for trusting me with this sweet boy. Thank you to Cheyenne from Sirius handling for taking Charlie to these shows when I couldn’t attend.
There is nothing I love more than to celebrate with others and build community as we love and try to do right by these beautiful dogs we are entrusted with.
I had the honor of placing and co-owning Stella (CH Kazuri’s Diamond In The Sky) with Emma and Amie Adams who have been showing cavaliers longer than I have but never leapt into the breeding side of things. When they mentioned they wanted to start breeding, I was honored to work with them and it has been a pleasure to co-breed a litter and walk them through all the parts from breeding to whelping to dew claws and more.
They are doing a phenomenal job and I am so proud of them. The sire is their lovely boy Granger (GCH BeckWith If the Boot Fits).

I travelled to Amana Iowa to attend “Beaglefest” early Sept and had so much fun meeting fanciers i have “met” online but actually getting to sit and chat with them in person. It was fun to be in the ring with so many amazing dogs and people. There was so much comradery and laughter – everything community and competition should be. If anyone is thinking about going, I would say “do it”.
My little 13 inch beagle Callie (GCHB Kazuri’s Everything’s Sugar N Spice DCAT FDC) won Best of Variety in 13s under respected breeder judge Dr Oleg N Voloshin Ph.D. She went on to win BOSS to the lovely Victor who won 15s. I was thrilled to be in the ring with Victor and be awarded beside him.
Callie also won Select B under Dr. Camille McArdle D.V.M at the Amana Hound Show.
This little spice girl is my heart and soul and she’s not always easy to show, but always gives it her all. She also ran 6 Fast cat runs completing her DCAT and getting many points towards her FCAT.
Callie is owner/breeder shown and I am so thankful to Liz for letting me use Arthur for my Rosie girl. (CH Bill T’s August Rush to Alpenglow x CH Kazuri’s Everything’s Coming up Roses)
