Gypsy’s beagle puppies turn 3 weeks old

1 Comment

Gypsy is a wonderful mama. Her babies are thriving – tiny but mighty. They are starting to walk around on their legs more and I love starting to hear them growl at each other and play. This week we will try some mushy food and introduce the potty box – they are ready. 🙂

I have always said I will be honest – so in that vein – we had an unexpected tragedy happen this week – little boy “Rome” started to be lethargic. He started to have what we call “tummy breathing” which is often associated with pneumonia, which they can get if they aspirate milk while they drink.

I took him to my vet for some antibiotics. All the symptoms pointed to that. When Dr Thoreson listened he heard an echo in his heart, not a crackle in his lungs. An x-ray confirmed that his heart was enlarged and full of fluid. Unfortunately there was no cure or help for this long term. The best thing to do was humanely euthanize him – which we did. I cried for days. I was heartbroken.

I am so thankful for the 4 beautiful tiny babies we have to love and treasure.

So to that end, enjoy the photos of our cute little apples from this week.

Millie’s CKCS puppies are 3 weeks old

Leave a comment

Somehow I missed doing a 2 week post – whoops – but here we are at the 3 week mark – they have their eyes open and are starting to sit up more – they are so adorable.

They are quiet little babies right but I expect that this week they will start growling noises and playing with each other.

Millie is a wonderful, caring mama and I am so glad she is doing such a wonderful job with these precious little ones.

Enjoy their photos from this week

Tori and Charlie’s Cavalier ckcs puppies are 8 weeks old

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 🙂

Paige’s puppies official first photos

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.

Introducing

Girl one (darker) – Ennis

Girl 2: (lighter) Derry

Boy : Dublin

Tori and Charlies CKCS puppies are 5 weeks old

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.

Enjoy the photos of Tori’s cavalier king charles puppies as they are now 5 weeks old.

Nova and Murphy’s beagle puppies are 8 weeks old

3 Comments

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.

Nick achieves his DOUBLE PLATINUM

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.

Spokane Kennel Club Memorial Cluster

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

Nova’s beagle puppies are 5 weeks old

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

Nova’s beagle babies are 4 weeks old

1 Comment

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
