We decided to debut Watson (Kazuri’s Time To Solve A Mystery) at the Lewiston ID cluster as we figured the 4 days would give him a chance to see what this whole “showing” thing was all about.
Well – figure it out, he did. He surprised us all with his success. On Friday he went WD/BOW under judge Mr Larry C Abbott. On Saturday, he went WD/BOW/Best of Variety for a 4 point major under judge Ms Lee Whittier. On Sunday he did it again by going WD/BOW/Best of Variety for a 3 point major under judge Mrs Vicky L Abbott.
What a debut indeed garnering both majors and over half his CH points! Thank you to all of these judges for finding Watson and overlooking his Covid enthusiasm – it is for this reason we hadn’t shown him yet – just wanting him to mature a little HAHA.
Watson is the son of my imported girl from Debbie Kerr, “Kiss” (Kinvaar Kiss This TKN) and “Denny” (GCH Covington Designed By Time). Thank you to Heidi Mohn and Carla Mathies for letting me use their sweet boy on my Kissaroo.
Thank you to Tammie John Sommerson-Wilcox and Octavia Stensen for presenting him so beautifully this weekend. And thank you to Megan Hogan and Jeff for letting me borrow “our” boy so he could start on his CH title. I appreciate it so much.
Miss Daisy, Dutch’s “little sister” (only ’cause she is a 13) had a good weekend too in Lewiston (she didnt go to Albany).
While there weren’t as many points to be won in 13s, Daisy (Kazuri N Van-Mar Oops A Daisy Here Comes Trouble) walked away with 3 x Winners B and 3 x Best of Variety wins in Lewiston under judges Mrs Vicki L Abbott, Mrs Pamela B Peat and Mr David J Peat.
Thank you to them for awarding our little lady. Not too bad for her 2nd weekend in the ring. Thank you again to Sarah Smith-Falker for presenting her so beautifully this weekend. Thank you also to the Chamberlin family for looking after Daisy so well and allowing her to go for these weekend trips so she can work on her CH title – we appreciate your support so much. I was travelling and so couldn’t take her to these shows myself.
At the Pensacola Florida shows, Nick wins Back to Back Best In Shows for his 6th and 7th BIS wins.
On Saturday we are thankful to judges Mrs Vikki L Abbot for the Variety win, to judge Ms. Jocelyne Gagne for the Hound group win and to judge Mr Gary L Anderson for the Best In Show.
On Sunday we are thankful to judge Mr Gary L Anderson for the Hound Group win and to judge Ms. Jocelyne Gagne for the Variety win and his Best In Show win.
Nick is MBIS MBISS MRBIS GCHG Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGC TKN. The USA #1 15 inch beagle (Breed and All Breed) and #2 Hound.
He was bred by and is co-owned by Sarah Sweetman (Kazuri) and Mike and Karen Kurtzner.
I love these pups so much. These are bold and bright and so much fun. It has been my pleasure to be their breeder and raise them. The first one is going to his new home and so I needed to run up to the studio for my favorite photos on my blue chair.
Enjoy the photos this week

Thank you so much for your interest in my puppies – at this stage I am not taking any new enquiries for cavalier puppies as my waitlist is full. Thank you for understanding.
The cavalier babies are big enough to go outside, but it has been a bit cold and rainy. Today we had a break in the rain and so we took them outside for their first garden adventure.
They had a lot of fun and especially enjoyed being with the other big dogs but only lasted about 30 minutes before they were shivering and cold so we took them back inside. But all in all it was a successful adventure.
I love these little pumpkins and watching them grow and explore. It’s hard to believe they are 5 weeks old already.
Thank you for your interest in my breeding program. We have an existing waitlist and so these puppies will be spoken for. If you want to be considered for future puppies, please visit my “Puppy page” for details.
The beagle pups are 7 weeks old today. The weather in the PNW is wet wet wet and so we can’t always go outside right now – but there is always room to play inside in the living room. So – today I took some photos of them playing in our living room. Enjoy <3

Is there anything cuter than beagle pups at play? I think not. It has been cold and snowy and then rainy and so the babies haven’t had a ton of outdoor playtime. So – when we had a break in the weather today, we made the most of it with a lovely romp in the garden. I love how bold and happy the babies are as they play with the adults. These pups are so confident. These photos are in lieu of their 6 week old photos – I wasn’t able to take the photos as I had COVID and was too tired to take them. I think they are pretty cute regardless – don’t you agree?

I got Covid-19 this week – thankfully I am vaccinated and so my symptoms have been fairly mild – mostly I have been exhausted and so I have been just in “get the basics done” mode. And so, taking photos got put on the back burner until I felt up to doing it.
The babies are growing like beautiful little weeds – they are stronger and playing together. They are running and wrestling and growling and have definitely found their sweet little voices barking with delight when I bring their meals. They LOVE food 🙂 It’s good. They are eating 3 meals a day now and only nursing a few times a day – Charlotte is enjoying becoming more of a playmate than a mommy.
Enjoy their latest photos.

We had a 1 cavalier litter and 3 beagle litters this year. I am so thankful to the breeders that let us use their stud dogs and allow their breeding programs be part of mine. I am so excited to see what the future might hold for our youngsters.
We also made many families very happy by placing our non keepers in loving homes expanding the “Kazuri” family. We are so happy to welcome each and every one of you and thank you for caring and loving our dogs so well. We are so grateful. <3
I wanted to say that we can’t do any of this alone – I am thankful to my village (I am so sorry if I forget to mention anyone specifically). I am so thankful to my co-owners/breeders in beagles Mike and Karen Kurtzner, and to my co-owners in cavaliers Susan and Alisha Lockleer. I am so thankful to Mike and Karen for handling Nick so beautifully plus many of my beagles to CH titles, but also to Tammie Wilcox, Jennifer Bell, Serena Soares, Sarah Yates and Cheyenne Calvert for the role you played in showing, transporting and finishing dogs for me. And thank you to new beagle breeding partner Chelsea Metteer – it was so fun to have a litter with you.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from everyone here at Kazuri.
