Lynden dog show

Malia, Dolly, Ruthie and I went up to the Lynden Dog shows for the Mt Baker/Bell Vernon cluster. It was a blustery and cold weekend and we huddled in my trailer a lot. We helped out at fastcat, and froze a little but also had a blast running record numbers of dogs each day in between our ring times.

We took these dogs:

Nick – MBIS MBISS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want for Christmas – bred and owned by Sarah Sweetman, Mike and Karen Kurztner

Savannah – GCHB Kazuri’s Everything’s Gonna Be Peachy – Bred by Sarah Sweetman, Mike and Karen Kurtzner, and owned by Malia Throop & Sarah Sweetman

Lyric – Joyful Noise N Kazuri’s Sound of Sunshine – bred by Sarah Sweetman & Dolly Stearns and owned by Dolly Stearns and Ruthie Tesky

Beacon – Kazuri N Joyful Noise Sunshine Of Your Love – bred and owned by Sarah Sweetman & Dolly Stearns

Chase – Kazuri’s Chasin’ The Dream – bred by Sarah Sweetman, Mike and Karen Kurztner and owned by Sarah Sweetman & The Neissen family

Lucy – GCH Wilderness You Can’t Take My Sass – bred by Cheyenne Wohlschlegel & Diana Cazier, owned by Malia Throop & Sarah Sweetman. She only showed the last day as we accidently entered her as a non champion and we didnt want to steal points from anyone else

~~~~ we took a few dogs 🙂 haha ~~~

On Friday in 15s BOV/OH. In 13s, Lyric went BOV from the Bred-By Puppy class and on to an OH Group 4. Beacon made his show debut and took it all in his stride.

On Saturday in 15s, Nick went BOV and OH Group 3. In 13s, Savannah went BOV/OH and Beacon went wd/bow for his first point!

On Sunday in 15s, Nick went BOV/OH and onto OH Hound group1 and Reserve Best In Show OH!! Chase went WD.In 13s, Lyric (Joyful Noise N Kazuri’s Sound of Sunshine) went BOV and onto the regular group 2.

On Monday in 15s, Nick went BOS/BOVOH and onto OH Hound group1 and Reserve Best In Show OH!! Chase went WD/BOW for his final points so he is (pending AKC) a new Champion! In 13s, Beacon went BOV and Lyric went BOVOH.

Ivy and Beau’s beagle puppies are two weeks old and their eyes are open

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.

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)

Boy 3: “Flax” (Has a thinner white collar)

Ivy and Beau welcome their beagle puppies into the world

Ivy had her xray on Wednesday and we saw 6 puppies. While she was officially due on Monday/Tuesday, I had a weird feeling she might surprise us a little early. My gut was right and she was restless all night on Saturday night and panted/shivered all day Sunday as she moved through stage 1. We were with her most of the time, and when we gave her space to rest and labor, we had our ring cameras on her.

Around 5pm I felt that she was stretching more than I was comfortable her being alone for. So i joined her in her whelping room. I took her for a walk in the garden and she pushed out her water bag (some people call it the mucous plug). I swear she wanted to give birth outside – so I convinced her to come back inside.

Around 6pm she started hard pushing and by 6:05 the first baby had arrived. A boy – 9.6oz

The next baby came about 15 mins later – our first girl – 9.25oz

Baby number 3 came just after 7 – another boy 10.9oz

Ivy decided to take a little break and rest up. She waited over an hour before she started pushing again and had baby #4 – another boy at 8:25 at 10.05oz

Continuing this new trend, baby #5 was born at 9:21 – another girl 8.6oz

Baby #6 made her appearance at 10:14 – weighing in at 8.6oz- a girl to make it a perfect 50/50 boy girl split. A welcome discovery after many many boy heavy litters.

Miss Ivy settled in and we cleaned all the suction bulbs and bedding, sanitized our hemostats etc.

About 11pm I noticed Ivy wasnt really settling and was doing small pushes. By 11:15 the pushes became more serious and I gloved up. Lo and Behold we had a bonus baby at 11:23pm – another girl – what a miracle.

Ivy is an incredible mama already and loves her baby. I am so so grateful for so many girls to choose from. Well done Ivy and Beau <3

Cleo and Dutch’s beagle puppies are 1 week old

Cleo is an amazing momma – she keeps the whelping pen and her puppies squeaky clean and has more milk than she knows what to do with. Her babies have all doubled in size and I find them moving all over the whelping box despite not having their eyes open yet.

I am doing ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) on them daily and I am sure that help too.

Malia (Wanderlust beagles) and I decided to go with a “Spring by the lake” theme and choose cute little animal names – so without further ado – meet the babies again <3

Boy 1: Thin white line on his head – now “Frog”

Boy 2: Mostly black without white markings – now “Toad”

Boy 3: Shoulder collar with a notch taken out – “Bass”

Girl 1: White dots on her back “Duckie”

Girl 2: White Stripe on her butt – “Kitty”

Cleo and Dutch welcome 5 beautiful beagle puppies into the world

Miss Cleo, right on time, started showing signs of early labor on Monday afternoon. Digging in her blankets, being generally uncomfortable and panting/shivering on and off. We try to give our girls space, and so I have a camera on them that I can watch from the next room. I see all kinds of things like them burying themselves in blankets, or looking at the camera, or sitting panting.

At 1:15am I felt things were getting close and so I went and lay down beside her on the bed we have in the whelping room. Sure enough by 1:45 she was pushing with intention and at 1:53 we had our first baby born – a boy 9.65oz

Baby #2 was born at 2:38am – a girl who was 10.35oz

Baby #3 was born at 2:48am – another girl – this one 9.4oz

Baby #4 was born at 3:29 – another boy – he was 10.35oz

Our final baby arrived at 3:38am – a 9.3oz boy.

Cleo did so well and settled right into motherhood nursing them and cleaning them wonderfully. All of the pups are strong and healthy and mama is doing awesome. I am so happy.

We are so thrilled to have co-bred this litter with Malia from Wanderlust beagles as she steps into her new role as a “breeder” of her first litter. I am grateful for the opportunity to mentor new breeders and then watch them fly into their own <3
