Our sweet cavalier boys are 7 weeks old and we have had the nicest weather. As such, it has given them so much opportunity to play outside and interact (always supervised) with our other dogs. I love how gentle our beagles, cavaliers and golden are with the tiny babies, and how brave the little ones are trying to keep up with the older dogs.
I am not sure where to even start, but I am so proud of my Kazuri kids, both owned by us and other people. I was attending my Nana’s 90th birthday in New Zealand (where I am from). So, i was jealous at all my friends having a fabulous time without me, and also how proud I was of my dogs.
First up, I have to say I am so so proud of my 20 month old 13 inch boy MURPHY. He won Best In Specialty (BISS) at the first beagle specialty under Dr Andrea Bradford.
Savannah (Kazuri’s Gonna Be Peachy) took 13 inch winners bitch all three All Breed shows at Chintimini and proved she is a quick learner being at her first dog show. She loved and co-owned between Malia Throop and Sarah Sweetman
Claire, Roylcrest’s Anything You Want, You Got It, ( daughter of Kazuri boy Ch Kazuri’s To Sir With Love) in 13” Beagles, won WB for a major, Best Bred by Exhibitor 13”, BOS and Best Bred by in Specialty under Dr Andrea Bradford. At the second specialty under judge Mrs Wendy Boce she won 13 inch Winners Bitch and Best Bred by Exhibitor 13 inch Beagles. Kazuri is thrilled for Lorna and Sam from Roylcrest beagles and this super little girl.
Maxim, GCH CH Kazuri’s Rockin’ The Naughty List at Roylcrest bred by Kazuri and co-owned by Lorna & Sam Boydston and Sarah Sweetman won 15” BOS under Dr Andrea Bradford
I am so so very proud of my Kazuri dogs and how well they did this weekend. <3
I am so very proud of Tex, piloted by none other than Mike Kurtzner.
This boy is young and learning the ropes of showing more consistently – Chelsea and I couldn’t be prouder to have Tex stand amongst other wonderful dogs in the top rankings.
There is a lot of time between now and the end of the year, but for now we will be excited that for January Tex was #1 15 inch beagle.
Tex – GCHB Kazuri N Van-Mar Trouble In Texas – bred and co-owned by Sarah Sweetman and Chelsea Metteer.
Mishka’s babies are thriving and we got to bring them home. They are chubby and content and so wonderful. I am so glad this litter has been so easy. I took updated pictures – there are some cute pups in this bunch thats for sure.
Sylvie’s girls are being very satisfied with momma and they are sleeping a lot. They have only just begun to get up of their bellies and onto their feet. I tried to give them solids, but decided they were too full. 🙂 It took 4 or 5 tries before they started to take interest. very unusual for beagle puppies. LOL
Sylvie’s pups are thriving under her loving care. She is a calm and careful mom and the babies are growing well. Their eyes just opened so I am sure we will see them start to move around a little more this week.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, the weather is warm enough that the little babies can actually go outside. We allowed Nellie’s 2 remaining pups (now 12 weeks) to play with them and it went well. I mean, they beat up on them a little but not too bad.
Enjoy the photos of them in our puppy yard. We just replanted some Oregon Grape there so it looks a little disheveled, but will make an excellent place for them to play as they grow.
Sylvie had an easy pregnancy, but also had some weird things – she bled (giant blood clots) starting from day 30 all the way up till about a week before she gave birth.
On day 64 I took her to my vet with no signs of labor. Her progesterone was 2.4 (we like it to be under 2 for a c-section). With 2 pups on board, we knew there was a possibility that her body wouldnt drop enough progesterone for labor to start and so we opted to give her a c-section and get the pups out safe and sound. I am always so thankful to Dr Anders Thoreson and the team at Klahaya for their care and kindness of my dogs.
I am so thankful that I get to be back there to rub babies down and be some of the first people to greet them earthside. Sylvie’s surgery went off without a hitch, and we got 2 healthy GIRLS – the babies were born hungry and vocal and ready for their first meal
Back at home, Syl settled in well – babies nursed well and quickly started to put on weight. As you might notice in the photos below, one of our sweet girls has a natural bob tail. She was checked over by our vet and he said there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with her. I am thankful for that.
I am so thankful to have these healthy girls. The one with the bob tail will be available since I wont be able to show her or use her in my breeding program. She will make a beautiful companion for someone.
Spring is here and the weather is so nice this week (for the PNW anyway) 🙂 LOL. It was 65 today and so I took the pups out for their first outdoor adventure. They were a litle unsure but did great. I will post indiviudal photos now and then group photos on another post.
Enjoy
