2023 Recap – what an incredible year.

What an INCREDIBLE year indeed. Here is a recap of it all. I have SO much to be thankful for – most of all for my beagle and cavalier community – I couldn’t have done any of this without you all.

Nick – MBIS MBISS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGC TKN ATT finished the year as the #1 15 inch beagle for the 2nd year. He was recognized at the 2023 National Beagle Club as People’s Choice as voted by fellow breeders. He is in semi-retirement and will show in select shows in 2024 and beyond. We are also thrilled that he had 6 more of his progeny finish their CH titles and several others are close to finishing. These six gives him 12 CH get already. I am so thankful to the breeders who incorporated Nick into their program and am excited to see what happens next.

We had several champion beagles

McKinley – CH Kazuri’s Aint No Mountain High Enough (CH The Whims Legato x CH Hailstorm’s Feeling A Little Foxy at Kazuri)

Callie – CH Kazuri’s Everything’s Sugar N Spice (CH Bill T’s Rush to Alpenglow X CH Kazuri’s Everythings Coming Up Roses). She finished in the 13 inch TOP 20 for 2023

Murphy – CH Kazuri’s Everything’s Gonna Be Alright (CH Bill T’s Rush to Alpenglow X CH Kazuri’s Everythings Coming Up Roses) – lovingly owned by Sarah Smith-Falkner and Sarah Sweetman

Darwin – CH Kazuri’s While Dreams of Finches Danced In His Head (MBIS MBISS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGC TKN ATT X CH Kazuri’s Dreaming of An Emmy)

Buck – CH Kazuri’s Call of the Wild (GCH Van-Mar N Kazuri Brewin’ Up Trouble X CH Kazuri’s Feeling The Siren’s Call)

Ivy – CH Kazuri’s Tangled Up In Trouble (GCH Van-Mar N Kazuri Brewin’ Up Trouble X CH Kazuri’s Feeling The Siren’s Call)

Nova – CH Kazuri’s All I Want is a Supernova (MBIS MBISS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGC TKN ATT X Hailstorms Alouette)

Johnny Rose – CH JoyfulNoise N Kazuri Keeping Up With the Roses (BISS GCH Van-Mar The Duke of Hazzard X CH Kazuri’s Keeping Up Appearances) – bred with Dolly from Joyful Noise

Audrey – CH Rosehound’s Brown Eyed Girl at Kazuri (MBIS MBISS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGC TKN ATT X CH Foxtail’s Fast Curves) – bred by Bonnie and William Farrell and owned by Bonnie Farrell and Sarah Sweetman

And a Cavalier King Charles Champion also

Stevie – CH Kazuri’s You Are the Sunshine of My Life (CH Angels Pride Zakkary X LoKazuri Star Fourth In Line)

And a First time achievement for Sarah

I also won my first (personal) specialty show with Dutch (BISS GCH Van-Mar N Kazuri Brewin Up Trouble) bred by myself (Sarah Sweetman) and Chelsea Metteer and lovingly owned by Sarah Smith-Falkner, Sarah Sweetman and Chelsea Metteer. While my dogs have achieved this before, this was the first time I have been at the end of the leash for it.

I am so grateful for an incredible year of achievements. Let’s go 2024!!

7 week photos of the ckcs and beagle puppies as they play outside

The puppies are tiny dogs now and love nothing more than when they can play in the big yard with the big dogs. Right now the weather in the PNW is unpredictable and so we make the most of going outside every moment we can.

The cavaliers are growing confidence as the beagle puppies show them the ropes. Our golden is a perfect playmate as she is gentle and shows them big dogs are nothing to be afraid of. Even dogs that are visiting like Darwin the beagle, enjoy moments of play – even if they try to nurse from him.

I am enjoying every moment with these precious little ones. I have just under 2 weeks before the first of the beagles starts to fly the coup. Sigh.

Echo’s beagle babies turn 7 weeks

Time always flies so fast when these guys start to move around and play. They are now climbing little groups of stairs and playing tug of war with each other. They eat with enthusiasm and snuggle like pros. I find them just delightful. There is nothing like the fun of raising beagle puppies.

Enjoy photos of them on my blue chair – I always think this is my favorite set each time as it really showcases them.

Echo’s pups turn 6 weeks old

The babies continue to explore and get more and more confident in their surroundings – they love to play outside and we love to watch them – the growls, the rough and tumble – it doesn’t get much better.

we are starting to really look at them and wonder which might be potential show puppies or amazing pets. Stay tuned as we work through all of it 🙂

Till then, enjoy them at play outside

Nellie’s cavalier pups are thriving

I am so so happy to say that this time, Nellie’s babies are thriving. We have had no sign of diarrhea and they are steadily gaining weight. Nellie keeps them spotlessly clean and I am so happy to have such a cruisy cavalier litter. Fingers crossed it continues

We decided to base the litter theme on the little guy with the “pants” on his legs – they remind me of Mickey Mouse’s pants with the little buttons. So, without further ado, here are the babies

Mishka welcomes her babies into the world

Miss Mishka was due the same week as Nellie. With all the complications Nellie’s babies had last time, I wanted to make a plan just in case. We also have family here from NZ and I knew my attention would be divided anyway.

So, I asked my friend Jamie if she would whelp Mishka’s litter. She agreed and I was so thankful.

Mishka had a long stage 1 nesting and resting. Jamie didnt get much sleep. I felt so bad.

Finally, in the evening at 8:15pm she popped out baby #1 – pink collar girl – 7.83oz

at 8:43pm came a 7.55oz boy she gave the blue collar to.

At 9.28pm came another boy who was 8.93oz. He got the red collar

While she was pushing the next one out, she started to vigorously clean the other puppies and accidently opened the stomach of blue boy. It was not intentional and happens sometimes, but it meant he wouldn’t survive long term and we chose to humanly euthanize him.

Puppy 4 was born in the chaos of that, a girl at 10:20pm – 8.13oz – miss purple

Puppy 5 was born at 12.22am – another boy- a big 10.85 oz pup and he got orange.

Puppy 6 was born at 2.05am – another girl who was 9.18oz and she got green.

The 5 remaining are thriving under Jamie’s care and I am so happy. <3

Nellie welcomes her babies into the world

First thing you should know is that dogs hardly ever read the “rule book” about what a “normal” birth is going to be like 🙂 LOL. Cavaliers typically give birth on days 58-60 where another breed might go to day 63.

Nellie decided to wait till day 62 to give birth this time. Last time was day 56. We had been watching her like a hawk and I stayed up several nights with her. On the morning of Aug 14th, she started to really show signs and the first pup was born around 9:30am. Of course, since she was on day 62, I had an appointment to see my vet to assess how things were and a possible c-section at 11:30 – i quickly realized that we wouldnt make it.

The first baby got a little stuck but it didnt take us long to get him warmed up and breathing well. A 7.7oz tri baby boy. My mom is visiting from NZ and so helped give him cuddles and oxygen while I attended to Nellie.

The second pup came soon after, about 9:45am. A tri girl – 6.35oz

An hour later, we saw Nellie straining again. The 3rd puppy came head first (good) but the shoulders got stuck and so nellie was having trouble getting the body out. We gently helped with every contraction and a big blenheim girl 8.4oz was born. She gasped a lot and again my mom was put onto warming/rubbing and oxygen duty.

Another hour later, we took Nellie outside for a potty break walk and she instantly started pushing again. This one was a decent size again, and feet first (normal but harder for mom) and so my husband and I tried hard to coax it out. He was born while and lifeless and so we went to work on rubbing him, oxygen and warmth. His first breath I cried. Another boy – 8.2oz

Unfortunately while we were tending to our last little guy, the blen girl started to really crash. We had her on oxygen and warmth but her breathing become labored and slow and then stopped. We checked her over and she had blood in her stool and so I believe she suffered some internal damage from being so large. It was so heartbreaking to lose such a gorgeous girl.

The three remaining pups are doing great and we are thrilled about that.

Echo’s beagle babies turn 2 weeks

Echo is keeping her little ones very satisfied and so they don’t really want to move around a whole lot yet. Their eyes have tiny peeps so we should have eyes open by the end of the week.

I am loving their bone and their lovely heads – its a very consistent looking litter and I can’t wait to see how they keep developing once they are up on their feet.

Echo and Murphy’s beagle pups are 1 week

Echo is a super mother and has full cream milk – all of the puppies have already doubled their birthweight. She keeps them clean and warm and they are content.

I can’t wait for their eyes to start opening in the next week or so.
