The weather has been a little crummy and so I always hesitate about when to expose the babies to outside as I want the experience to be a positive one.
Today the weather had some sun breaks and it got into the 50s so we took the pups outside for 15 mins – the two girls were confident right away – the 3 boys took a little coaxing before their little noses went to work and they felt it was okay to explore as well.
Beagles are so so fun as they truly only need a short time to acclimatize to mew situations even at this tender age. our plan is to get them outside for supervised playtime every day and introduce them to the pack this week also.
It has 4 weeks since these beautiful beagle puppies were born and they are confident on their feet. Today I decided, since it was sunny outside, that I would attempt to take photos of them outside.
They were very busy sniffing and walking around so the photos arent the best, but you can see they are growing.
and yes, I did trim nails right after this 🙂 LOL.
Violet’s little ones tried puppy mush for the first time today and LOVED it – they licked and chomped in and had so much fun. I was very impressed at how quickly they changed from trying to suck it to licking it which is a bit of a skill change.
Now that their eyes are open, I love watching these sweet babies begin to move around and fall over. They love sleeping on their backs with their little bellies in the air, and are starting to growl and play with each other.
Enjoy this week’s photos of our Valentines lovies – this week they will try their new puppy pen with potty box, and mushy food. I can’t wait.
This was a big week for the little beagle puppies as they opened their eyes and are starting to explore their world. I love this stage where they are trying to toddle around on legs that don’t quite work.
Violet continues to do an amazing job and Dolly (from Joyful Noise beagles) couldn’t be happier.
Violet is a great mom and is keeping them clean and very well fed – we like chunky babies. So now is the time to introduce our sweet babies one by one to the world.
PICKLES (Kazuri’s Gonna Be A Big Dill) garnered her 2nd and 3rd majors from the puppy classes, in only 2 weekends of showing, for a total of 12 points, I am guessing she will be finished before we know it.
On Saturday, she went WB/BOW/BOS over a special for a 5 point major under judge Erika N Wyatt.
On Sunday she went WB for a 3 point major under judge Ms Marilyn L Van Vleit.
Pickles was bred by Sarah Sweetman and is co-owned/loved by herself and Sarah Smith-Falkner.
Vada Potato is from Willow and Murphy and is 4.5 months. We had a show in Albany and they were hosting 3 days of “BPUP” for the 4-6 month old puppies which is a low key fun way for them to see what this showing thing is all about.
The judges Mr John Mayhall, Ms Annella Cooper and Mrs Donna M Gilbert were so loving and sweet and gave all the puppies such a great experience.
Vada (Kazuri N Joyful Noise Sunshine On A Cloudy Day) aka Potato took everything in her stride – she moved beautifully and held her stack on the table and group despite all the sight and sounds of the other rings. I couldn’t be prouder as a breeder and owner of this sweet smart little girl.
She won Hound Group 1 all 3 days and showed her socks off (no win) in “best puppy”.
These photos were taken from videos so please excuse the quality.
Ozzy came into his first show of 2025 needing 2 majors and 8 points total (so if he got 3 point majors he would have needed a couple of singles too).
Knowing there would be potential majors in Albany OR, I entered Ozzy hoping he might be able to garner those points and finish.
Well – finish he did. I asked for Cheyenne Calvert’s help since I can’t take 2 dogs in the ring at the same time so I am thankful for her.
The first day, under judge Ms Rhonda DeSilva, Ozzy went WD/BOW/BOV for a 5 point major. Talk about crazy amazing. He then made the final 6 cut in Hound Group under judge Mrs Christine Erickson – from the classes!
The second day he went WD for another 2 points under judge Erika N Wyatt. On Sunday he went WD/BOW for his final major to finish under judge Ms Marilyn L Van Vleit.
Talk about so proud. Our first Kazuri CH for 2025. CH Kazuri N Joyful Noise Just Over The Rainbow
Congratulations to his “mommy” Tesla and co-breeder/co-owner Dolly
