2023 Recap – what an incredible year.

What an INCREDIBLE year indeed. Here is a recap of it all. I have SO much to be thankful for – most of all for my beagle and cavalier community – I couldn’t have done any of this without you all.

Nick – MBIS MBISS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGC TKN ATT finished the year as the #1 15 inch beagle for the 2nd year. He was recognized at the 2023 National Beagle Club as People’s Choice as voted by fellow breeders. He is in semi-retirement and will show in select shows in 2024 and beyond. We are also thrilled that he had 6 more of his progeny finish their CH titles and several others are close to finishing. These six gives him 12 CH get already. I am so thankful to the breeders who incorporated Nick into their program and am excited to see what happens next.

We had several champion beagles

McKinley – CH Kazuri’s Aint No Mountain High Enough (CH The Whims Legato x CH Hailstorm’s Feeling A Little Foxy at Kazuri)

Callie – CH Kazuri’s Everything’s Sugar N Spice (CH Bill T’s Rush to Alpenglow X CH Kazuri’s Everythings Coming Up Roses). She finished in the 13 inch TOP 20 for 2023

Murphy – CH Kazuri’s Everything’s Gonna Be Alright (CH Bill T’s Rush to Alpenglow X CH Kazuri’s Everythings Coming Up Roses) – lovingly owned by Sarah Smith-Falkner and Sarah Sweetman

Darwin – CH Kazuri’s While Dreams of Finches Danced In His Head (MBIS MBISS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGC TKN ATT X CH Kazuri’s Dreaming of An Emmy)

Buck – CH Kazuri’s Call of the Wild (GCH Van-Mar N Kazuri Brewin’ Up Trouble X CH Kazuri’s Feeling The Siren’s Call)

Ivy – CH Kazuri’s Tangled Up In Trouble (GCH Van-Mar N Kazuri Brewin’ Up Trouble X CH Kazuri’s Feeling The Siren’s Call)

Nova – CH Kazuri’s All I Want is a Supernova (MBIS MBISS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGC TKN ATT X Hailstorms Alouette)

Johnny Rose – CH JoyfulNoise N Kazuri Keeping Up With the Roses (BISS GCH Van-Mar The Duke of Hazzard X CH Kazuri’s Keeping Up Appearances) – bred with Dolly from Joyful Noise

Audrey – CH Rosehound’s Brown Eyed Girl at Kazuri (MBIS MBISS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGC TKN ATT X CH Foxtail’s Fast Curves) – bred by Bonnie and William Farrell and owned by Bonnie Farrell and Sarah Sweetman

And a Cavalier King Charles Champion also

Stevie – CH Kazuri’s You Are the Sunshine of My Life (CH Angels Pride Zakkary X LoKazuri Star Fourth In Line)

And a First time achievement for Sarah

I also won my first (personal) specialty show with Dutch (BISS GCH Van-Mar N Kazuri Brewin Up Trouble) bred by myself (Sarah Sweetman) and Chelsea Metteer and lovingly owned by Sarah Smith-Falkner, Sarah Sweetman and Chelsea Metteer. While my dogs have achieved this before, this was the first time I have been at the end of the leash for it.

I am so grateful for an incredible year of achievements. Let’s go 2024!!

The Beagle National Recap

I’ve needed to take a moment to breathe and just feel so thankful to be able to attend the National Beagle Show in Mesquite Texas last week.

I am thankful for the friendship and comradery from the group of us that came together from Washington – to Dolly, Malia, Ruthie, Bonnie, to seeing friends I have known for years and others I got to meet for the first time finally after knowing them online (I wont list everyone as I am bound to forget someone). I say it all the time – I truly believe we are better together, and that community is better than competition. I try to live by those values.

I am thankful for the whole team under David and Ann to put on such a wonderful event

I am thankful for the opportunity to show my dogs and breeding program – Callie “CH Kazuri’s Everything’s Gonna Be Sugar N Spice” made the final cut in 13s with me on the leash.

Murphy with Karen, “CH Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” went BOS in 13s with Karen.

Nick with Mike (MBIS MBISS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGC TKN ATT) made the cut at the national but really shone being recognized as the #1 15 inch for 2022, Stud dog of the year for 2022 and amazing us by going People’s Choice at the National.

I am thankful to Leigh and Helen for entrusting us with Puddin and that she got “dam of the year” alongside sire Spencer. I loved celebrating with Terri & Dan and Chelsea – Spencer also won “sire of the year”.

Not to mention, sweet baby Savannah “Kazuri’s Gonna Be Peachy” who at 15 weeks with co-owner Malia, took every moment of the National in stride, travelling like a rockstar and kissing as many people as she could and utilizing any lap for a bed.

I am thankful to Mike and Karen for your wisdom and partnership – for taking my dogs to places they couldn’t have gone with just me.

I am thankful for those who brought my dogs to the National to show – Chelsea with the wonderful Tex “GCH Kazuri N Van-Mar Trouble In Texas” and his sister Penny “Kazuri N Van-Mar Trouble with Penny Lane” and Terri with Audrey “BISS GCH Kazuri N Van-Mar Trouble At Tiffany’s” and was so so proud to watch them exhibit so beautifully.

I am thankful for my friends and roommates Pat and Harmoni for sharing a room with me

I am thankful for the opportunity to touch and feel dogs, and talk to owners and be surrounded by so many beautiful beagles – some of whom i hope to incorporate into my lines.

I am sure I have missed things, and I am sorry if i did – I had a blast and can’t wait to see you all in 2024!! ❤

7 week photos of the ckcs and beagle puppies as they play outside

The puppies are tiny dogs now and love nothing more than when they can play in the big yard with the big dogs. Right now the weather in the PNW is unpredictable and so we make the most of going outside every moment we can.

The cavaliers are growing confidence as the beagle puppies show them the ropes. Our golden is a perfect playmate as she is gentle and shows them big dogs are nothing to be afraid of. Even dogs that are visiting like Darwin the beagle, enjoy moments of play – even if they try to nurse from him.

I am enjoying every moment with these precious little ones. I have just under 2 weeks before the first of the beagles starts to fly the coup. Sigh.

Ckcs and beagle pups get their 6 week photos taken on the blue chair

The cavalier king charles and beagle pups love exploring and food. Their little personalities are starting to emerge and we are loving geting to know them.

please excuse the food on their faces – they had just enthusiastically eaten lunch and then had a little playtime – it’s real life when raising pups but we wanted to make the most of a short break in the rain and i didnt want to make them cold by giving them a full bath

Nellie’s cavalier ckcs pups and Mishkas beagle pups are 5 weeks old

These litters were born 4 days apart and developing together. While we don’t keep them together full time, we do allow them to have small play times together. Their pens are side by side and I find them trying to play with each other. It’s very cute.

So, enjoy the photos of them from this week in the garden. I dont think i will be able to contain them much longer for individual photos 🙂

Nellie and Gettys pups turn 4 weeks and venture outdoors

These precious cavaliers are starting to gain outside confidence as we slowly introduce them to the world outside. They were a little unsure at first but quickly started to explore around.

They are such sweet snuggly little ones. I cant wait for their personalities to start to emerge

Puppy and Pack playtime outside of

By 6-7 weeks, the beagle puppies are big enough to be introduced to the big yard and pack of adults – supervised of course. The older dogs love playing with them and the puppies adore the dogs.

I am so thankful for the beagles, cavaliers and our golden Shirley for teaching the pups about boundaries and play. They sleep really well after these play sessions.

Enjoy the photos of them

Mishka’s beagle puppies turn 2 weeks old

Mishka’s babies are thriving – they all have their eyes open and are starting to explore around the whelping pen. It’s fun to watch them move around and get strong on their little feet. I can’t wait for their little personalities to start shining through.

Enjoy the photos of them from this morning 🙂

Echo’s beagle babies turn 7 weeks

Time always flies so fast when these guys start to move around and play. They are now climbing little groups of stairs and playing tug of war with each other. They eat with enthusiasm and snuggle like pros. I find them just delightful. There is nothing like the fun of raising beagle puppies.

Enjoy photos of them on my blue chair – I always think this is my favorite set each time as it really showcases them.

Nellie’s pups are 2 weeks old

Nellie is doing a wonderful job as mom to her cavalier king charles puppies. They are all double their birth weight plus extra and I love to see them thriving so much. It is encouraging for sure.

Their eyes are starting to peep open and so I am sure they will be able to fully see in the next few days.

I love them so so much and can’t wait for their little personalities to start to come to life
