Winter in the PNW can be a little dreary at times as the weather is wet and the dogs can’t get out as much as we would like them to. It has been cold and so the rain has turned to ice, but since it’s not raining, we are playing outdoors anyway.
Enjoy the photos of them from today. I love watching them play.
Nellie is a wonderful mom of her cavalier babies. They are growing strong and are so content. Enjoy their first official photos.
For their names, Nellie is “Notorious Nell Gwyn” and Connor is “Shotgun Rider” and so I decided to do 2 historical couples that were “notorious”.
Girl 1: Was thinking about Dorothy “Dot” but have decided to go with Bonnie from the couple “Bonnie and Clyde”
Boy 1: Was thinking about one of Nell’s boys “James” but have decided to go with Clyde from the couple “Bonnie and Clyde”
Girl 2: Was thinking about Margaret “Maggie” but have decided to go with Josephine “Jo” who was Wyatt Earps wife.
Boy 2: Was thinking about Nell’s other son “Charles” but have decided to go with Wyatt Earp

We put up Christmas this weekend – we decorated the tree and put up our stockings – the festivities have begun. I couldn’t resist taking a couple of cute photos of the cavalier puppies – Sly is going to his new home today and so it was perfect timing for the very last photos of them all.
Enjoy <3

These will be the last photos of the babies all together as the boys are heading off to their new homes in the coming. I am so thankful that they went to the vet this week and got a clean bill of health and are strong and ready. (even if they are small – but growing)
Enjoy the photos of them on my famous blue chair

The beautiful thing about fall and ruby cavalier king charles pups is that they look so gorgeous together. The PNW has taken a cold and wet turn and so time outside has been limited for the cavalier pups.
However, we had an afternoon of a break and I took the cavalier babies outside for a little play in the leaves. We didn’t stay out there long as I didn’t want them to get chilled, but I took some cute pictures while we were there.
Enjoy – the cavalier puppies at 6.5 weeks.

This was a big week for our little cavalier pups. With the boys back to full health, they were able to move into the dog room – they are enjoying all the new toys, the mini stairs and they have loved meeting the bigger dogs.
We have had a cold and wet spell here in the PNW, and so they haven’t had any outside time yet – I hope this week we might get a few warmer afternoons so they can go outside for a bit.
So – for now, enjoy the pictures of them from today – 6 weeks old.

Sometimes we place puppies and for a miriad of reasons it doesn’t work out. There is no shame or blame in admitting that your family is not right for the dog, or that you don’t have enough time to dedicate to their needs at this time.
This is why, as an ethical preservation breeder, I will always take my dogs back – regardless of age. I want to be part of them finding their forever home, hoping this placement is the right one.
Gus is from my Christopher x Charlotte litter back in November. He is currently 11 months old and up to date on his vaccines etc. He has no allergies or illnesses. He was checked by a vet and is healthy. He also had his heart/eyes cleared by a cardiologist/ophthalmologist at 8-10 weeks. He has also recently been neutered.
Gus has a great enthusiasm for life – he is not your “couch potato” cavalier. He is smart, and energetic. Although in saying that he also loves to kiss and cuddle on our knee.
His family unfortunately never took him to puppy socialization classes etc. and so I have worked on these things for 3 months while he has been with me. He now walks calmly on a leash and is less silly when he meets people.
Gus is sweet and smart and eager to please (with enthusiasm). He is potty trained (finally) 🙂 LOL.
I want to be completely honest with the new family about these things as I want his next home to be his forever home. Till that comes along, he has a forever home with us here at Kazuri, and we will keep working with him and training him.
If you are interested in Gus, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Gus is being offered for $3500 which is a $1000 discount. I would recommend highly that his new family continues to work with him with a obedience class and maybe even a socialization class. He has never shown aggression, but social skills need to be polished

It’s been a long but wonderful week. I wasn’t entirely sure the 2 boys were going to make it to this milestone as they were not gaining weight despite me giving them support with Sub-Q, warmth and top up feedings (so they wouldn’t get tired nursing).
However, I am feeling more optimistic with the whole litter reaching their “double birthweight” milestone and opening their eyes.
So – without further ado, the 4 houses of Hogwarts

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.
Girl 1: Blenheim
Girl 2: Ruby
Boy 1: Ruby (with white stripe)
Boy 2: Ruby (no stripe)

Cavalier king charles spaniels are notorious for not waiting till day 63 to give birth. I predicted that Phoenix would give birth sometime over the weekend and true to form, Sunday afternoon she started to get super clingy, not letting me out of her sight and panting a little. By 5pm things started to get a little more serious as she panted and dug in her bed beside me, and vomited a little.
She started pushing and we realised that there was a baby but no sack. These are the births that make us most nervous as it’s harder on mom when there is no lubrication. I could tell the baby was a good size as with every push Phoenix would yelp. I ask ed my husband to come and help and I held Phoenix’s hips apart as he gently guided it out.
Baby 1 was an 8oz girl! A beautifully marked blenhiem girl!!
Baby 2 got suck, once again coming without a sack, but this time even harder feet first. We tried so hard to get her quickly, but 20 mins of gently pulling with every contraction, we knew there was little hope of a live baby at the end. And we were right – our 2nd perfectly marked blenhiem girl was born DOA 🙁 UGH. We did all we could and rubbed her down to no avail.
At this point, I started called ER vets – I didnt want to pull each puppy out – it’s hard on us and the mom – and I didnt want to lose any more. 3 ER clinics said they were full and not taking any more patients. One told us to call Mt Vernon – despite being an hour away, we called them and they said COME so we jumped in the car and drove.
Phoenix and the blankets and her firstborn were on my lap and my husband drove us. On the way, she started pushing and had a tiny ruby boy. We later weighed him at 4.5oz.
While waiting in the waiting room in the clinic, she started pushing again and had a 2nd ruby baby boy – again small at 4.5oz.
The vet asked if we still wanted surgery with 1 pup to go. We decided to see if she could do it herself and went into a quiet room for her to labor. The final pup, a ruby girl, was another big one but the vet assisted her out and was able to do it so she made it.
I think we arrived home at 4am. Exhausted but grateful. Phoenix is a great mom and now the work begins.
