The pack always loves it when they can play with the babies and of course the baby puppies love to play with the big dogs too. Our adult beagles are so gentle and our golden is like “Nana” from Peter Pan. She just wants to smother them in her love and they adore her for it.
Enjoy these photos taken in the fall sun today, in the yard.

Words can’t express how THRILLED I am, that Nick received Select Dog today at the Beagle National. With 70 specials, and an entry of 203 in 15s alone, Breeder Judge Annette Didier (Meadowcrest Beagles) sure had her work cut out for her.
Nick makes me just so dang proud every time he steps into the ring. Mike Kurtzner presents him to his finest and I am grateful for that.
With all that 2022 has thrown our way, what a wonderful day indeed!
We came up with a name for Sylvie’s little survivor – LILIBET. It seemed fitting to honor the late Queen Elizabeth II who just passed away. She was strong, determined, soft hearted, and a huge advocate for pure breeds.
Little Lilibet is growing little a sweet little flower. She is sweet and mellow and yawns when we pick her up. Her eyes are open and we are delighted at how she is growing so far. Syl is a content and attentive mother – we couldn’t ask for more after all she went through.

Cavalier king charles spaniels are notorious for not waiting till day 63 to give birth. I predicted that Phoenix would give birth sometime over the weekend and true to form, Sunday afternoon she started to get super clingy, not letting me out of her sight and panting a little. By 5pm things started to get a little more serious as she panted and dug in her bed beside me, and vomited a little.
She started pushing and we realised that there was a baby but no sack. These are the births that make us most nervous as it’s harder on mom when there is no lubrication. I could tell the baby was a good size as with every push Phoenix would yelp. I ask ed my husband to come and help and I held Phoenix’s hips apart as he gently guided it out.
Baby 1 was an 8oz girl! A beautifully marked blenhiem girl!!
Baby 2 got suck, once again coming without a sack, but this time even harder feet first. We tried so hard to get her quickly, but 20 mins of gently pulling with every contraction, we knew there was little hope of a live baby at the end. And we were right – our 2nd perfectly marked blenhiem girl was born DOA 🙁 UGH. We did all we could and rubbed her down to no avail.
At this point, I started called ER vets – I didnt want to pull each puppy out – it’s hard on us and the mom – and I didnt want to lose any more. 3 ER clinics said they were full and not taking any more patients. One told us to call Mt Vernon – despite being an hour away, we called them and they said COME so we jumped in the car and drove.
Phoenix and the blankets and her firstborn were on my lap and my husband drove us. On the way, she started pushing and had a tiny ruby boy. We later weighed him at 4.5oz.
While waiting in the waiting room in the clinic, she started pushing again and had a 2nd ruby baby boy – again small at 4.5oz.
The vet asked if we still wanted surgery with 1 pup to go. We decided to see if she could do it herself and went into a quiet room for her to labor. The final pup, a ruby girl, was another big one but the vet assisted her out and was able to do it so she made it.
I think we arrived home at 4am. Exhausted but grateful. Phoenix is a great mom and now the work begins.
With having the beagle litter from JoyfulNoise beagles over for the weekend, it meant I had 13 pups. So much work and so much fun all at once.
I snapped a few photos of them playing in the yard together.
It was a perfect night for playing in the garden, and so I capitalized on a few moments and captured them playing. What a beautiful litter indeed.
It was a day for smiles and hugs today. In the PNW, Kazuri (and Van-Mar) beagles took the gold in breed.
Maddi (pending AKC) went WB/BOW/BOB and is now CH Kazuri N Van-Mar Trouble Takes the Cake – She is Spencer X Puddin’s 7th CH for 2022. Congratulations to owner Sarah Smith-Falkner

Beau went WD/BOW/BOB yesterday for a 4 point major under breeder judge Heather Lindberg. Today, he went WD/BOS for his final major under judge Mr Luis Sosa. (pending AKC) he is CH Kazuri’s All I Need Is Love And Cake.

Tex (CH Kazuri N Van-Mar Trouble In Texas) went BOB for his 2nd GCH major and CH defeat in a huge entry of specials. Thank you Chelsea for presenting him so beautifully. Tex also won select dog 2 other days, and so has all his majors and CH defeats towards his CH title.
and
Penny – Kazuri N Van-Mar Trouble In Penny Lane went BOS to him from the classes over 2 specials for her 2nd major!! She also went WB every other day – She is over half way to her CH title with limited showing. Congratulations to her owner Susan Gaffagan!
I am so so proud of these dogs, my co-breeders and their owners/co-owners. It takes a village thats for sure. 
I co-bred a litter with my friend Dolly from JoyfulNoise beagles in Spokane washington. We bred my girl Violet (CH Kazuri’s Keeping Up Appearances) to Lee (BISS GCH Van-Mar The Duke Of Hazzard).
Dolly was coming to a local-to-me dog show and so dropped the pups to me for the weekend. I was only too happy for some “grammy” time and to stack them up and start looking at their progress.
Without further ado – introducing her litter – named after the hit TV show Schitts Creek.
