Nick gets Best in Show #8

This weekend, in Tunica, MS, Nick (MBIS MBISS GCHG Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGC TKN) got his 8th BIS!!! I couldn’t be more proud.

We are so thankful to judge Mr James G Reynolds for the BOV win and to Hound specialist Mr Michael Canalizo for the Hound Group win and Best In Show win on Saturday.

It was so so hot, but Nick didn’t miss a beat in the ring. He is ever the showman even letting out an “AROOOOOO” in BIS to let everyone know he was there to compete.

Thank you to Mike for always presenting Nick so beautifully, and for Karen and great grand daughter Hailey for being such a great support system to him.

We are also so thankful to judge Mrs. Anne Katona for the BOV and Hound Group 1 win on Thursday.

We are also grateful to judge Ms. Debra Thornton for the BOV win and to Mr James G Reynolds for the Hound Group 2 on Friday.

We are thankful to judge Mr Michael Canalizo for finding Nick in BOV and to judge .Ms. Debra Thornton for giving him a Group 1 on Sunday.

June has been a wonderful month for our boy who keeps proving consistency is key. He finishes out the month, despite taking a weekend off, with 1 x BIS, 3 x Group 1s, 1 x Group 2s, 4 x Group 3s and 2 x Group 4s. <3

Brie and Emmy’s beagle puppy’s turn 7 weeks

Brie and Emmy’s pups are just darling – they are eating, playing, snuggly, mini-beagles 🙂 I adore them. Their little personalities are coming out and they are just so fun. I can hardly believe they will start going to their new homes in just over a week.

They are still enjoying the gardens and outdoors – so you can enjoy the latest photos I took of them playing out there. xo

All of these puppies are spoken for. To get on the waitlist for future puppies, please fill out our questionnaire. Thanks.

Beagle puppies venture outside

3 Comments

This time of the year can be unpredictable at best in terms of the weather – we have had days where the rain doesnt seem to want to end and then other days of glorious sunshine.

So – on the days of sun, we let the babies play outside. They aren’t nervous at all – they are so excited to explore their new surroundings. Oh how I love this stage with all it’s wide eyed wonder

Emmy & Brie’s beagle pups are 4 weeks

Emmy and Brie’s pups are 4 weeks old. They are now eating 3 meals a day and only nursing a couple of times as they begin to wean and experience the world as big puppies.

We have seen an explosion of exploration this week as they gather the courage to move outside the sleeping boxes and explore around the pen and play with each other and toys and even explore other areas when given the opportunity. I hope that it will continue to warm up outside so we can take them outside soon.

Enjoy their latest pictures

Penny’s pups are growing up

1 Comment

Penny is full recovered from her surgery and fully in love with her puppies. They are getting full bellies and growing bigger every day.

I hate to admit it, but they are so dang cute. <3

Penny and Watson’s family named them – so without further ado – here are:

Lily

Linus

Wyatt

I have a current waitlist. These pups wont be available – thank you for understanding.

Penny and Watson have pups

Sometimes you plan litters so carefully and they don’t work out, and other times Mother Nature has it’s own plans and you get an accidental miracle. I am not here to point fingers at anyone as there is no point in that. But, this wasn’t quite a litter I planned, but nevertheless it came – Penny was younger than the ideal age for breeding.

Under the guidance of Dr Thoreson from Klahaya, he felt Penny would be healthy enough to carry the litter despite her age. And thankfully, she had a healthy, complication free pregnancy.

Unfortunately during her labor, greenish goop came out which is not a great sign. I called Dr Thoreson and he agreed to do a c-section. One of her pups had died a day or so before, and so was un-saveable. But we got 3 healthy pups out alive – 2 boys and a girl.

Penny is starting to recover well and though she thinks the babies are aliens, I am sure she will fall in love soon. Funny story, we put one of the beagle pups on her boobs to make her nipples easier to latch onto. Oh the things we do as breeders.

At this stage none of these pups are available. Thanks for understanding.

Brie welcomes her new babies into the world

Brie (Hailstorm’s Allouette) usually lives with Mike and Karen in Tennessee, but with Karen having surgery they asked if she could whelp here in WA. She is a maiden at 6 years old and was bred by them, but of course I am happy to help out. She is closely related to my dogs and Emmy’s BFF so they will be “sister moms” together whelping so closely.

This is the pedigree of the litter for those interested:

She went into labor late Monday night and then labored Tuesday. It wasn’t till Tuesday evening that we really started to see things start to transition. She started to squat to pee a lot so we knew the sensation of pressure was starting to get more intense in the evening and so we kept her isolated and away from the other dogs

Her first baby was born at 10:45. A big bonnie boy – he got a little stuck but we got it out. He was 9.28oz

Just over an hour later, she started to push again.

I was delighted to see our blue streak had been broken with a girl – 9.49oz

We then had a big gap. Brie was relaxed. I took her to go bathroom, and she pottied and she settled in with her 2 babies. Occasionally she would get up and move around but it felt more like she was moving a baby down than pushing. I kept checking on the dopplar and heartbeats were a steady 220ish so that was good. It took everything inside me not to be panicking that something was wrong. Around 4am she starting pushing again. Brie pushed out a giant girl – 10.97oz – this one was a dry birth making it extra hard and so i had to help her a lot. The poor baby had a purple face for quite a while. But she was okay.

Our last baby was another girl, born just before 5am. She was 8.78oz. Her birth was textbook and easy and I was grateful.

Brie has settled into motherhood beautifully. She fiercely loves her babies and cleans them and cuddles them. I am grateful.

Emmy welcomes her beagle pups to the world

Emmy usually lives with Mike and Karen in Tennessee, but with Karen having surgery they asked if she could whelp here in WA. Since she was born here herself, it seemed only fitting that she had her final litter with me.

She had a short first stage – this wasn’t her first litter so that didn’t surprise me. About 11am she showed signs of wanting to push and so we knew she was getting close.

The first pup was born shortly after 12. She didn’t struggle to push him out and he wasn’t big at 7.12oz but he never took a breath. We worked on him for an hour, kept him warm, tried every trick we knew but he just never woke up. We were gutted.

The next baby came around 2pm – another boy. This one was 7.44oz.

A third baby boy arrived around 3pm – 6.91oz.

Emmy quickly settled into her mothering role and loving on her two surviving babies. She is a wonderful mother and we are grateful that they are healthy and strong.
