Little Lili is growing – although not too much – she is actually rather small and I am really starting to wonder if she will end up as a 13. She loves to explore the yard and play with the other pups – she certainly holds her own even though she is so much smaller.
Now, if only the smoke from the wildfires would clear, maybe they could play outside for longer than 30 mins at a time.
Some of Rosie’s pups are starting to leave this week, and so I took some photos of them, plus Finn and Buck playing in the yard. I have loved raising these lovely pups.

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.
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!
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.
Phoenix’s pups are now 4 days old so I figured it was time for official photos. It is starting to become very obvious the size difference between the boys and the girls.
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.

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.
