Now that she has nursing down pat, Miss Paige’s babies are thriving. Their tummies are always full and round, just how we like them.
Their eyes and ears have opened up and so we have started playing movies with unexpected noises in the background of their whelping pen – like Teminator or King Kong or even Saving Private Ryan. These sounds in a safe and secure environment with mama, allow the puppies to start understanding that loud or unexpected noises aren’t always need for being scared.
Enjoy the photos of Paige and Murphy’s 2 week old babies.

Tori’s puppies are finally eating 3 good meals a day – I find that as they gain confidence in eating on their own, they also grow confidence in life. When they play outdoors now, they are excited to get out and about and explore.
We are starting to see little hints of personality come forth which is really fun too. Salsa and Tamale are the boldest and first to explore while Nacho is always scrambling to be on my knee. Miss Pico is a little more independent and Churro and Taco like to hang back and watch. We shall see more information as they have their Volhard temperament test next week.
Enjoy the photos from this week – they wanted to explore these rocks so badly, and not just sit on them for photos. I am starting to wonder if my days of taking photos of them by themselves are coming to an end.
Enjoy the 6 week photos of Tori and Charlie’s little love nuggets.

What a wonderful weekend full of fun – I am so proud of the dogs I bred or co-bred and own or co-own. <3 I loved seeing all my other friends and say congratulations to the winners like Pia with Luna and Carrie with Poppe, and Brian with Armani on their wonderful wins
I couldnt be more proud of this boy if i tried – he showed his heart out and won both beagle specialty shows this weekend amongst some lovely and deserving competition.
This makes it his 3rd and 4th beagle specialty in 2026.
Thank you to the judges Mr Joseph Buchanan & Mrs Jocelyn Gagne for awarding Nick this weekend.
A special shout out to Nick’s niece Potato, shown by co-owner Kayla Bonnin who won 13s in both specialty shows and went BOSS to Nick at both also. I am so proud of both of these dogs, bred and co-owned by myself, and both owner handled.
I will do a separate post about all the other dogs that did amazing things this weekend also <3
Paige took to being a mommy so well – her poor inverted nipples made latching hard work, but once we got them on, they nursed vigorously. They are now 1 week old and approaching doubling their birth weight so that makes me very happy.
The two girls are so much bigger than the boy, but he holds his own so we are not concerned about him much.
Since Murphy’s AKC name is “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” we decided to name them after Irish landmarks/places.
Tori is doing a wonderful job allowing the babies to grow up. When we take her outside with them for 10-15 mins at a time, she shows them how to play and gives them confidence. She is dancing away more and more as they try to nurse, and so I am glad the puppies are starting to eat better on their own now.
The weather continues to be beautiful in the PNW, allowing good time for playing outdoors each day.
Enjoy the photos of Tori’s cavalier king charles puppies as they are now 5 weeks old.

Nova’s babies are 8 weeks and will start to head to their new homes next week. I can’t even believe how fast this time has gone and how much I love these precious little gifts. Thank you again to Nova’s dad Ken for partnering with me to allow me to show Nova, health test her and have a litter.
I am just making my final decisions on who stays here at Kazuri and who goes to their new home in the up coming days. Who are your favorites?
Enjoy the final pictures of the babies all together as they play in our yard as they were not interested in individual photos at all this week 🙂 I can’t blame them – the world is a wonderfully interesting place and it’s their job to discover it all.
Tori is doing a wonderful job with her babies and they are growing steadily. She must have golden milk as the babies are not super interested in mushy food – unless its from the bowl that mama is eating from. Silly babies.
They are walking around, growling and starting to clumsily play with one another. it’s very cute.
Enjoy the photos I took of them outside today – they werent quite sure what to make of it
I know they will just gain confidence more and more in the coming weeks
After Paige’s missed pregnancy in 2025, we decided to try again. We changed the stud this time just in case it was a mismatch and went with our homebred boy Murphy. It would be a first litter for both of them, and a loose line breeding on a wonderful dog of old called CH Gayhalo The Gambler (Kenny)
This being the case, we decided the best and safest option would be to give her an elective C section as a stuck puppy could be dangerous and I don’t want to put a dog through that.
We watched for signs of labor. On June 2nd, she showed signs of early labor and so we took her in for an assessment. We were right and they started the surgery. Paige did very well and a healthy boy and 2 girls were born.
Paige is a little confused about her babies, but trying to nurse them. She has some inverted nipples which make it hard to attach so we are keeping a close eye on them.
