B and Sirius debut’ed this weekend as a Jr Handler.
She walked and worked with him with confidence and it looked like they had been a team for months not weeks. to say we were so proud of them was an understatement. I think these two have a bright future ahead of them.
B and I took Sirius to Ocean shores on our “girls weekend” away so she could practice her moves for her first junior handling events at the COPS (Cavaliers of Puget Sound) dog show. They actually make a wonderful team and I cant wait to see them in the ring next week.,
Now that the cavalier puppies are almost 10 weeks old, we are approaching our final days with them here in our home. In some ways, it seems like a long time and in other ways, the last 10 weeks have flown by in a blink of an eye.
The weather has thankfully been getting nicer lately and so we have been able to enjoy getting outdoors and enjoy the yard outside. The cavalier babies love exploring the yard with the beagles and momma Arrow.
Enjoy the latest pictures of them playing together – possibly the last of them all together as Maggie (now Chloe) will be going to her forever home this weekend.

The cavalier puppies are 7 weeks old and we are thrilled with how they are growing and developing. They are growling and pouncing and playing.
Maggie is non stop energy and a ball of fun. Max is reserved and a thinker. Julia is bold and fearless and James is cheeky. Little Dottie (born from Arrow’s sister Penny but being raised with our litter) is a little bit of a Diva.
We are going to do evaluations next week – I look forward to assessing them for show quality.
Mia’s two boys Kris and TT have come to Seattle for a visit. Kris is going to his forever companion home and TT is going to do some maturing here for a while. We also decided we will keep their sister Vixen as our newest show prospect, so watch this space in the future 🙂
I took some pictures of them this evening – aren’t they handsome boys? they are 4 months old 🙂
Arrow and Dustin did good with their sweet babies – here are their close ups.
The temporary names:
Tri boy: James Black n Tan girl : Maggie
Black n Tan boy: Max Ruby girl : Julia
As much as I love being a breeder of beagles and cavaliers, first and foremost, our dogs are our family members and pets. They sleep on our couches and in our home and we don’t have any “kennel” that they stay in.
This week our home in Woodinville, Seattle experienced snow. It doesn’t happen very often and so when it does, we all get out and enjoy it. The dogs were no exception running and playing and having a blast. Even Arrow, who is a week and a half away from puppies, got out there and played with us all.
So much fun indeed 🙂
Life is good in the crisp cool weather here in Woodinville Seattle. The beagles and cavaliers are enjoying walks and snoozing on the coach. We are puppy sitting our friend’s pug Oscar for a few days – he is just one of the gang 🙂
We are thrilled and proud to announce that Arrow is pregnant again to the handsome Dustin – CH Verheyen Dustin (imported from the UK). We chose Dustin as he comes from a long line of health tested dogs – not just hips/elbows and hearts, but also generations of clear MRI brain scans.
As you know, our aim is to breed dogs that are beautiful AND healthy and so Dustin was a clear choice as a match for Arrow while he is still in the USA. We are excited to see what might be hiding in this litter. (We are secretly hoping for a tri female but I guess time will tell). We saw 3 babies in a single ultrasound frame, so we are confident that we have at least 3 babies growing in there (se the picture below).
Babies are due mid Feb – at this stage we have a small waitlist of families waiting for these babies. Enquiries still welcome.
We co-own Sirius (Arrow’s son from her first litter) with Alisha from Lockestar Cavaliers. Alisha took him to his first official dog show this past weekend to play at the Puyallup Dog show. He made us proud and got some good ring experience.
Way to go Alisha and Sirius. 🙂
