Today marks 8 weeks with these precious little beagle puppies. We have been so honored to watch them grow. It will be hard to say goodbye next weekend, that is for sure when a couple of them go to their forever homes.
They are cheeky and fun and getting into everything. They spend a lot of time with the bigger dogs which of course they love. Maddy is now longer “mommy” but is now “friend” and plays with them a lot.
Enjoy the puppy pictures this week – I think they only get cuter by the minute 🙂
Miss Arrow’s pregnancy has flown by so fast and we are now about 2 ish weeks away from meeting our little cavalier babies. Arrow looks amazing – until you pull back her hair, its hard to tell she is pregnant at all. But when you do, there is definitely a belly 🙂
Next week we will do an xray and see how many to expect. I cant wait to announce their safe arrival 🙂
The beagle puppies turned 7 weeks today – I didn’t have much time to take pictures as today is my daughter’s 10th birthday. But I wanted to give you all an update as I know some of you wait and watch for the latest pictures. 🙂
They are active and up for most of the day. We are enjoying each of their personalities emerging. They are all very sweet and affectionate ~ although a little naughty destroying several of our garden ferns and salmon berries. Just as well they are so cute 🙂
We look forward to the coming weeks where we will decide which 1 or two pups stay to grow up here at Kazuri. We do our final evaluation on the weekend of the 11th when co-owners Mike and Karen are here visiting from CA.
Kazuri is thrilled to announce that we today confirmed that Arrow is pregnant via ultrasound.
We approached the amazing Marybeth from Embee Cavaliers in Ontario Canada about using her beautiful boy “Loki” (CH Embee’s Mischief Managed) as a match for Arrow. Not only is Loki beautiful and has a wonderful disposition, but has passed his health testing (including the same kind of MRI Arrow had done) with flying colors.
We have been lucky enough to see some of the puppies he has already produced and they are gorgeous. To say we are excited about these potential puppies is an understatement.
The litter is due at the end of June, so stay tuned for the announcement sometime around then. While Arrow and Loki are both black and tan, they carry the white gene and so could produce any of the 4 cavalier colors.

The babies are 3 weeks today – they are all a little more mobile and starting to potty themselves so we started introducing the potty training box. They have used a little so that’s a great start.
They ate food for the first time yesterday – they were a little confused, but I am sure they will start to get the hang of it.
They are growing well – little chunky monkeys 🙂

Maddy’s beagle puppies are 2 weeks today and continuing to thrive. They are getting bigger daily and now all have their eyes open. They are not strong enough to walk yet, but are blobbing around on their bellies.
Current weights are:
Girl 1 2 lb 6.5oz
Girl 2 2 lb 7oz
Boy 1 2 lb 12 oz
Boy 2 2 lb 6.2oz
we are surprised that boy 2 is now the smallest, but with steady growth we aren’t concerned that there is anything wrong. Enjoy their latest pictures 🙂

These are just some cell phone photos from today – their eyes are all open and while they are not moving much, I am sure we will start to see shaky walking sometime next week.
The puppies are all thriving – Maddy is proving to be just what we thought she would be – an amazing momma. Her milk came in right away and the puppies are putting on loads of weight.
Girl 1 – 10.2 oz at birth – she is now 14.7oz Girl 2 – 10.9 oz at birth – she is now 14.9oz Boy 1 – 11.4oz at birth – he is now 15.3 oz Boy 2 – 10.9 oz at birth – he is now 15.9oz
I took a few quick pictures of them today while Maddy was out on a potty break – now you can get a better idea of what they look like 🙂

With nothing really happening last night, we decided to go to bed. I got up every 2 hours to check on her. While restless, nothing much was happening.
This morning, she woke me up around 6am, and wouldn’t let me out of her sight. Around 8:45 she started pushing and by 8:58 we had our first baby born safe and sound. 10.2 oz baby girl.
After a quick rest, she gave birth to another girl at 9:31 – this one was a little bigger at 10.9oz.
She rested again and with no assistance whelped her first son – all 11.4 oz of him, at 10:15.
Her fourth and final baby was born at 11:16 – another little boy – 10.9oz. Yep – 4 puppies in 2 hours and 18 minutes – what a rockstar!
Maddy is a natural momma and she and the pups are dong so well already. I have to resist the urge to go and pick them up all the time.
I am very excited to see them grow up 🙂
One of the first signs that whelping is imminent is to have a sudden drop in temperature. I temperature check morning and night from day 58. I dont want any surprise deliveries.
Maddy’s temperature dropped this morning – she is hanging out with me and in her puppy pen. Although when I locked her in there, this was her face. Mommy’s girl do you think? Ha!
Cant wait to make the announcement of their safe arrival sometime soon 🙂
