My parent’s and brother are visiting from NZ for a few weeks. I have been enjoying time with them all of course. One of the things my brother and I like to do is go for walks and talks. Tonight, we went a new route and found a little patch of wild daisys. I told him – lets run home and get the cavaliers and take their photos for this week there! SO thats what we did.
The puppies didn’t really want to be on my little stool – we were in a new environment with loads of smells and great things to look at, but I can’t help but think they turned out great regardless.
I am just going to post the full gallery – I wonder if you can tell which cavalier puppy is which yet 🙂
Hint: Salsa has a little cheek crescent, Tamale has half a brown face and half white, Nacho has a little healing cut on his leg, and Pico is of course a Tri. 🙂 That leaves you with Churro who looks like a dainty bean, and Taco who has the most white on him 🙂

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.

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.

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

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
