The cavalier pups are so delightful – they go with the flow with anything that is thrown at them. This last weekend we ventured down to Salem Oregon to a dog show. They slept in crates overnight with no potty boxes and kept it clean and dry all night long. Boy were they fast to pee and poop when we let them out in the wee hours of the morning 🙂
They were seen by a regular vet, and an ophthalmologist and all is clear and well – yippee. Now onto their heart check ups with Dr Woodfield this week – I am hoping for good news there too before they go to their amazing new homes. All three of these pups will be deeply missed and are going to the most incredible homes.
Enjoy their final photos of them with me together as babies <3
DeeJay’s 3 little ladies are thriving. They are very mobile and it is not unusual for us to find them tucked in a corner content and sleeping away. What a blessing to have them be so healthy after the loss of their brother.
We have decided to call them strong female names like the power trio they are
Ivy’s pups are strong and healthy. They are starting to wobble around on their little legs and the beginning stages of play is happening – it’s so cute to watch them explore their pen. They have well and truly taken over Ivy’s bed as their own. They know a good thing when they experience it (clearly) 🙂
This week they will experience food for the first time – we will start with goats milk and a little ground beef, with probiotics in it. It’s usually a big hit.
Enjoy their little beagle photos

I feel like the Silver Falls shows deserved it’s own set of brags 🙂 There were 3 All Breed Shows that we attended alongside the CWBC beagle specialty show
I will go down dog by dog, as we had a wonderful weekend
Nick (MBISS MBIS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas ATT CGCU FDC BCAT) won BOVOH and Best Bred by under judge Mrs. Nancy Lovelady in15s. Nick then went on to an OH Group 2 under judge Mr Michael Savage, and a Bred By Hound Group 1 under judge _ and Bred By Reserve Best In Show under judge Regina Lee Bryant – what a day! Nick also won BOV/OH under judge Mrs Pamela Lambie and went on to a Hound Group 4 under judge Dr Camille McArdle DMV. Amazing!
Cardi B (Kazuri’s A Little Sweet A Little Spicy) won 13s Winners Bitch for a 4 point major under Mrs. Nancy Lovelady so now she has both at 6.5 months and only 2 weekends of showing
Milo (Kazuri’s Want Some Milo Magic) in 13s got WD/BOW/Best Opp for a 4 point major under judge Mrs. Nancy Lovelady, and then surprised us all by going WD/BOW and BOV to finish his CH in 2 weekends under judge Mr Nichloas Frost! What a way to finish.
Olivia Newton John (Kazuri’s Summer Lovin’) Winners B/BOW/Best of Opp over a special in 15s under both Mrs. Nancy Lovelady and Mrs Pamela Lambie.
Skylar (Youngsong Chasing Dreams At Outwest) won 13s WB/Best Opp for her second 5 point major under judge Mr Nichloas Frost

Miles (Kazuri’s Every Road Leads Me Home) won WD under judge Mr Nichloas Frost for his first points
And last but not least, our cavalier king charles Charlie (Kazuri’s Mystery Of Hope) finished his CH title by going WD under judgeMr. David L Kittredge
We came home with 3 new champions! To say we were exhausted was an understatement – but thrilled also. Thank you so much to Malia, Dolly, Kayla, Alyssa who stepped into the ring with my dogs to help out with WD/WB. I appreciate you all so much
The CWBC decided to put on a second specialty weekend this year. We decided to enter a few dogs and our efforts meant that we walked away with some amazing wins. I’ll try to remember them all.

To say that it was an incredible day for Kazuri and the team – I am so thankful for the people who trusted me and my breeding program to have my dogs part of their world <3
Thank you to the CWBC committees and board for putting on a wonderful well run show. The packed lunch was great and it was very fun (even if it was chaos also)
Before this breeding took place, I knew DeeJay would be due to give birth during or around our specialty show. I asked a trusted friend if she was available to whelp them and she agreed. I was so grateful and knew they were in good hands.
DeeJay’s xray showed 4 big pups and so due to her tiny size, we decided to do an elective C. It turned out that they just looked big comapred to her small size as they were not that big at all.
She came through surgery just fine and had 3 girls and a boy. Unfortunately, shortly after birth, the boy became purple and struggled to breathe. Despite all the best efforts, we lost him. I have to believe there was something wrong with him that would have made his life difficult. While it is never ever easy to lose them at birth, losing them after weeks or months is even harder.
DeeJay is a wonderful momma, just like her mom and grandmother before her. She takes very good care of her littles <3
Ivy’s little ones are two weeks already, and I couldn’t be more in love with these little beagle babies. I did DNA swabs on them this week, and so in 4-6 weeks we should know for sure if Nick or Max or both are the daddy’s of these little ones.
Ivy is a wonderful and attentive mom. The babies are starting to move about the whelping area and so Ivy is enjoying the bed we have given her so she can take a little break from time to time.
Their little eyes are starting to open – I know this week will come more changes and toddling about.
Enjoy these photos of them from this week <3
Lincoln (Boy 1 – with the lighter color)
Grant (Boy 2 – with the white spot on his butt)
Girl 1: Monroe (Biggest girl with a backwards L on her neck)
Girl 2: Jackie (after Jackie Kennedy – girl with an upside down “T” on her neck”)
Girl 3: Betsy (after Besty Ross – girl with an “I” on her neck”)
It was a lovely spring day (yes, I am excited that it is officially spring) and so we took some photos in the green garden.
These little cavalier pups are heading to their first opthlamologist appointment this week to have an eye check – then they will see a cardiologist too. This is standard procedure for all Kazuri cavalier puppies so we have all the information we need before they set off to their forever homes.
These pups have the most amazing families waiting to bring these sweet little pups home.
Ivy is a wonderful mother. The babies are well fed and always sparkly clean. She loves to come out for snuggles and belly rubs and then is quick to go for a potty break and back to her mothering duties.
A good dam is worth her weight in gold and Ivy is worth every ounce. <3
We wont know who the sire of this litter is until DNA comes back in 6-7 weeks – stay tuned 🙂 Is it Nick or Maxim?
I took some pretty pictures of them – I am going to call them the President’s Week Litter since they were born the same week as President’s Day.
Without further Ado – introducing

Girl 3: Betsy (after Besty Ross – girl with an “I” on her neck”)
Anyone who follows me knows how much I love the blue chair as it makes every puppy’s color pop – I just love photos taken on it.
Manny is 9 weeks now and Mistletoe and Holly are 8 weeks. It felt like a good time to take their photos.
In the coming weeks, they will have their opthamologist and cardiologist appointments (Standard go home protocol for my ckcs puppies) and start learning how to crate train. I am amazed at how fast these weeks start to go as we enjoy them so much.
