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
At any given dog show, a champion can get a maximum of 5 GCH points (or less if they beat less dogs) towards their GCH levels.
Nick is the first beagle, of either variety, to achieve this. He had to get 1600 points to get this. It proves his worth as he is still consistently winning breed and group/owner handler group placements even with amateur me at the end of his leash.
Gosh I feel so blessed to be the breeder/owner and handler of this amazing boy.
NICK – MBIS MBISS GCHP2 Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGCU TKN ATT BCAT FDC
Bred and owned by Sarah Sweetman, Michael & Karen Kurtzner.
The 4 days after the INBC specialty shows are 4 days of all breeds. I did not mention in my last post that we also had a NOHS regional which is just for NOHS champion dogs – the points are double what they normally are giving the winners a lovely boost.
If you want to know who the dogs are, please refer back to my last post for AKC names/breeder/owners 🙂
NOHS regional – Nick won the 15 inch variety under judge Mrs Rhonda Silveira and went onto a Hound group 2 under Ms. Nancy S Amburgey.
Friday: Under Judge Mrs. Paula Nykiel – In 13s Murphy went BOS and Lyric went select B. In 15s Nick won BOV/OH and Miles won WD/BOW for his first major. Bro went Select for his first GCH ch defeat and major as a move up. Nick went on to win OHG4 under judge Ms. Christine Erickson
Saturday: Under judge Ms. Christine Erickson. In 13s Murphy went BOV and Savannah went select B. Alice won WB to finish her CH! Murpy went on to Group 3 under Mrs. Linn Klingel Brown. In 15s Nick won BOV/OH to finish his DOUBLE PLATINUM and Miles won WD for his second major. Bro went Select for his second GCH ch defeat and major as a move up. Nick went on to win OHGroup1 under judge Mrs. Paula Nykiel and OHBIS under judge Ms. Robin A. Hug
Sunday: Under judge Jan K Schreiber. In 13s Murphy went BOS and Savannah went select B. Truly went WB for her first points and first major. In 15s Nick won BOV/OH and Miles won WD/BOW for his third major. Nick went on to win OHG2 under judge Ms. Annella Cooper
Sunday: Under judge Sid Marx. In 13s Murphy went BOV and onto a Hound group 4 under Sid Marx. Lyric went BOS/OH and Savannah went Select to finish her Silver GCH! In 15s Nick went select. Miles went WD and Hudson went RWD.
So many goals were achieved this weekend – Nick achieved his double platinum making him the first and only beagle to achieve that. Savannah got her Silver GCH. Bro and Alice (littermates) both finished. My friend Sarah Yates with her dog Tommie got their BGCH and went onto a OH BIS on the final day. My friend Pia got a OH Hound group 3 the day Nick got his OH group 1 so we were in the lineup together. My friend Heidi finished her girl Sage’s CH title. My friend Jim with his veteran girl Mashaba went BOSS to Nick’s BISS – Mashaba is the highest pointed 13 inch and so Nick and Mashaba together made quite the pair.
A day that beagles place or win is a good day for the breed. SO so much to celebrate this weekend <3
The weather matches the joy of raising these busy little puppies. We moved them upstairs to the main room, and they were “let us out and explore” so we did. The confidence on these puppies is outstanding.
They now regularly play outside thanks to the weather being so nice right now – they are loving exploring and beating each other up.
Enjoy their 5 week photos taken today
Buddy – Big Red/White boy
Andy – Tri Boy
Stan – Small Red/White boy named after Eminem’s song “Stan”
Nova continues to be an amazing momma – the puppies are now her playmates as they are eating 3 meals a day. They LOVE food and the bowl is always licked clean. They don’t want to use their potty box yet, so we will just call that a work in progress. All I can say is lucky they are all so cute <3 haha
The weather was so warm in the 70s today and so I took the babies outside for a small outdoor play – they weren’t too sure about it, but I know each time they go out, their confidence will grow.
I love these tiny precious little pups. Lucky me for being the one to raise them.
Enjoy the photos of them from this week <3

Want your own beagle puppy? One of the Red and White boys is available.
Nova’s babies tried their first taste of mush this week and they loved it. They have movies playing all day and so are enjoying the variety of sounds they provide. Nova is a great mom – she watches them and keeps them safe. She is enjoying more and more on her own with the rest of the pack.
They are getting stronger on their legs, and are starting to play with each other and move around clumsily. I love this sweet little stage where they discover their voices and growls.
Enjoy the photos of them from this week 🙂 <3

Yes, we came home with a new champion, but we also had lots of other things to celebrate this weekend
Nick (MBIS MBISS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas ATT CGC TKN BCAT FDC) won BOV each day. We went on to a Hound Group 3 and OH Group 3 under judge Mrs Cindy Vogels, A OH Group 2 under Mr Robert Robinson and a Hound Group 4 under judge Ms. Yvonne Savard
Bro (Kazuri N Wonderlust Trouble’s A Brewin @ Cloudepoint) bred by Sarah Sweetman & Malia Throop, co-owned by them and Amie McLaughin & Gary Sharp, won 2 majors this weekend. Bro has been shown by Malia in the Bred By class.
Not to be outdone by her big brother, 13 inch Alice (Wonderlust N Kazuri Curiosity Leads To Trouble) went WB each day for her first 5 CH points. Alice was bred by Sarah Sweetman & Malia Throop and is owned by Malia Throop
Potato (aka GCH Kazuri N Joyful Noise Sunshine On A Cloudy Day) bred by Sarah Sweetman & Dolly Stearns, owned by Sarah Sweetman & Kayla Bonnin was shown by a Junior. They won the “Best of the Best” together- talk about being SO proud of this little girl.
I am thrilled to announce that this weekend, In Yakima, Miss Skylar finished her AKC championship with all majors!! Thank you to judges Mr Robert L Robinson and Ms. Tempest Deptuch for finding Sky this weekend despite her silly actions.
Skylar was bred by my friends Lisa Young and Jenni Neift and is co-owned by, and loved by myself.
Skylar isn’t even one yet, and so she will get to now play in the yard and sleep on the couch until she is old enough to do her health testing
I will start this with “These pups are overall the smallest I have ever had”. They are healthy, eat well and play like crazy. They are just mini little pocket beagles. 🙂 Just kidding about the pocket beagles – but they are small. The biggest puppy is barely 3lbs and the smallest girl is just over 2lbs.
They are eating 3 solid meals a day and Miss Ivy is a wonderful playmate rather than a nursing momma. She loves her babies so much – but she doesn’t love their sharp teeth.
These pups are now listening to sounds of engines and fireworks. They have a mini staircase and slide to play on and uneven toys so they learn to be stable on their feet. They take each new activity with curiosity and I couldnt be more pleased.
Because it was cold and rainy, we did pictures on the blue chair this week – they look so teeny on it – lol.
