Truman has started his Fast Cat title and LOVES it – he is enthusiastic about catching the “rabbit” and I dont think it will take long before he gets his first title at all.
18.66 MPH at just over a year old! He ran twice and qualified both runs with times of 11.04 and 10.96 seconds!
Thank you Jumoke Photography!
I was travelling last week and so wasn’t able to post “one week” photos – my cavalier breeding partner looked after them. I couldn’t believe how much they grew in a week!
I have also given them little temporary names. My friend Sarah Yates gave me the inspiration of “Christmas in July” since Vixen was born on Christmas Eve, and I have been waiting for this litter for 2 years, it feels like Christmas 🙂 I loved it. SO – introducing them to you. <3
Holly – the smallest of the pack – now 1lb 2.4oz
Eve – now 1lb 9.5oz
Kris – now 1lb 7.4oz
Noelle – Now 1lb 6.4oz
Nick – 1lb 9.9oz
In the early hours of Monday the 29th, after a very long day and night of labor, Vixen started giving birth.
Vixen is an amazing mom. After she was done, she got straight to loving on them, cleaning them and nursing. Her instincts are so strong.
Puppy #1 was a little girl – 8.2 oz at 7:34am. She took a long time to be born and caused a bit of pain as her placenta wouldn’t come away and so I had to intervene and cut her free. I am thankful she is alive and thriving.
Puppy #2 was a little boy – 8.3oz at 8:01am. He was born quickly and without any trouble at all.
Baby #3 was another girl – a 9.1 oz tri who unfortunately got stuck at the head/shoulders. It took me and my son 20 mins to gently and firmly pull her free without hurting Vixen, but by the time she was out, she had suffocated. It was very upsetting and a deeply felt loss. This was around 9:10
We decided at this point that 2/3 puppies had gotten stuck, and I didnt want to take another chance. We put Vix and the pups in the car and headed to the vet for a C-section. Thank you to Dr Donna Sowder at Animal Hospital at Murphy’s Corner for being available to us!
While en route, another baby was born in the car – my son (14) whelped her for me. What a champ! 8.1 oz at 9:39am.
When we arrived at the vet, they decided we should try to have the other 2 naturally, and if we needed to have surgery, they would do that immediately. Vixen was given a shot of Oxy and we waited in the “quiet room”.
At 10:04 another little girl arrived. 8.5oz. Uneventful and easy birth. We were on the right track.
The final puppy born was another boy – he was 8.6oz and born at 11.10am. He took a bit of time as he was big, but didnt get stuck (thankfully).
After a quick x-ray to make sure that we were indeed finished, we headed home. Vixen settled in and she was happy.
These puppies are all spoken for. <3
Not to be outdone by his little brother, James decided the major on Sunday at the Cook Inlet Kennel Club was going to be his!!
Way to go Susan Lockleer showing James to his 2nd major for 4pts under judge Cindy Vogels!
Kaszuri East of Eden, CGC TKN – “James” is by CH Verheyen Dustin , JW – bred and owned by Mary Cunningham of the amazing Verheyen cavaliers x LockeStar Love Struck, CGC – “Arrow”.
He was bred by and is co-owned by myself (Sarah) and Alisha Lockleer from LockeStar cavaliers, and of course is owned by Susan. You did us all proud!
While Alisha and Susan were away getting Paris MRI scanned, we were on puppy duty for Flame and Penny and their puppies. Of course, I had to take them outside for some quick photos. They are 6.5 weeks old and so sweet.
I think a couple of them are still available and so if you are interested in one, please contact Alisha through: https://anyeazi.wixsite.com/lockestarcavaliers
I am so proud that after a reserve win to a major, Miss Allie won her 2nd Major win under Hound specialist Mrs Azalea Alvarez at the Coeur d’Alene dog show this weekend. She was piloted by Emma Adams, a wonderful Jr Handler who will be showing her at some of the hound specialties over the Summer as she tries to qualify for Westminster this year. I am so proud of you both!
I know it’s been a while since I have posted. Sorry about that. It’s been busy around here. The puppies are now 11 weeks old and about to go to their new homes.
Well *almost* all of them. We have decided to keep the little Ruby – her name is now Phoenix – so you can watch for regular updates on our new little lovebug <3
Prada is now Remy. Chanel is now Coco and Virgil is now Raliegh. They have the most amazing families to love and cherish them and I wanted to do a final photo shoot before they went home.
I sure will miss them <3
After getting 2 Reserve wins on Friday and Saturday, Allie won winners bitch and Best of Opposite on Sunday under judge Mrs
Christie Martinez for her first points and first major. I am very proud of my little girl – this was her first weekend ever going into the ring. She had a steep learning curve, learning what was expected on the table, how to show her bite, and how to stack on the ground. All within a week or so of landing in the USA.
I am very proud of this little girl. She has some growing up to do, but I think she will also be a valuable part of my breeding program moving forward.
I got to watch Paris’ puppies for almost 2 weeks while my breeding partner was attending the ACKCS national in Cape Cod. It was wonderful to have them here – to see all 10 puppies interact and bond and play together. Just before they left, they turned 6 weeks and 5 days so I thought I would take their 7 week old pictures for your enjoyment. They are just the cutest aren’t they?

Please note that we are a small, family hobby cavalier king Charles spaniel breeder here in Woodinville which is just north of Seattle, Washington.

We also have a network of other breeders that we are connected to, so if we dont have a puppy for you, we would be happy to connect you to someone else who might have a perfect furry companion for you.
Arrow’s puppies are 7 weeks old. They are really showing off their personalities now. Virgil and Burberry are bold and curious but also up for a snuggle. Prada is very social and like a little shadow – just wants to be where ever I am. Chanel is confident with her siblings, but a little more hesitant in new situations.
Enjoy this weeks pictures <3
