Ivy is a wonderful mother. The babies are well fed and always sparkly clean. She loves to come out for snuggles and belly rubs and then is quick to go for a potty break and back to her mothering duties.
A good dam is worth her weight in gold and Ivy is worth every ounce. <3
We wont know who the sire of this litter is until DNA comes back in 6-7 weeks – stay tuned 🙂 Is it Nick or Maxim?
I took some pretty pictures of them – I am going to call them the President’s Week Litter since they were born the same week as President’s Day.
Without further Ado – introducing
Lincoln (Boy 1 – with the lighter color)
Grant (Boy 2 – with the white spot on his butt)
Girl 1: Monroe (Biggest girl with a backwards L on her neck)
Girl 2: Jackie (after Jackie Kennedy – girl with an upside down “T” on her neck”)
Girl 3: Betsy (after Besty Ross – girl with an “I” on her neck”)
Little Caspian is 7 weeks old and so it seemed fitting to do my traditional “blue chair” photos for him and he did not disappoint a bit.
What a sweet and handsome boy he is. A little independant, and very confident. He is still small and under 4lbs which isn’t typical for my puppies at this age, but he is eating and pooping and doing everything he needs to be healthy so I am not concerned about it.
Brinn is taking wonderful care of her little boys and they are growing well each day. In a conversation with Brinn’s human mom and dad, we thought it would be funny to play on the fact that they were born on “Friday the 13th” – so without further ado, here are the tiny terrors
6 weeks old and as tradition holds, I wanted to take a photo or two of my beagle puppies on the blue chair.
They are a sweet and active little bunch and so it was fun to see their little personalities in the photos. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them
Girl 1: “Blossom” (Has a “c” shape on her butt
Girl 2: “Iris” (Has a line between her shoulder blades)
Girl 3: “Tulip” (Has a thin line across her hips)
Girl 4: “Primrose” (No white marks on back or hips)
Boy 1: “Crocus” (Has an “L” shape on his neck)
Boy 2: “Trillium” (Has Thicker collar with a black dot in center)
Ivy is doing an amazing job with her 7 puppies. It isn’t easy to nurse that many, and she is keeping them clean and well fed. Their eyes have just opened and so they are starting to move around the whelping box and explore their world. It is so cute.
Enjoy the photos of them – sorry the lighting isn’t super consistent – it was a wet and dark day today but I didnt want to let them get chilled by doing the photos in a different space. I am sure you will enjoy them all just the same.

Nick and Sarah had another amazing weekend in Lewiston Idaho – my first time at this cluster and it didn’t disappoint.
Nick (MBIS MBISS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGC ATT TKN BCAT) gives me his all in the ring, and has quite the reputation for taking naps on top of the trolley – he is a wonderful companion at home and we adore him. He is looking better than ever for almost turning 6. The road to double platinum continues
