We put up Christmas this weekend – we decorated the tree and put up our stockings – the festivities have begun. I couldn’t resist taking a couple of cute photos of the cavalier puppies – Sly is going to his new home today and so it was perfect timing for the very last photos of them all.
At the Whidbey Island Kennel Club – Monroe Washington
On Saturday, Dutch (CH Van-Mar N Kazuri Brewin Up Trouble) went BOV under judge Mrs. Kathleen J Brock and then onto a Hound group 4 under judge Mr. David J Peat.
On Saturday Derby (Kazuri’s Run For the Roses) went WD for a 3point major under judge Mrs. Kathleen J Brock. On Sunday he did it again under Dr. Steven D Herman, for his 4th major and became a new CHAMPION.
On Saturday Willow (Kazuri’s Cover Me In Sunshine) went WB/BOW for a 3point major under judge Mrs. Kathleen J Brock. On Sunday she went WB/BOW and BOV over 4 specials for a 5 point major under Dr. Steven D Herman! She just has 1 single before she is a CH.
Chalotte (LoKazuri Star’s Fourth In Line) made her showing debut. No points for her but I was proud of her free stacks and building confidence over the weekend.
Watson (CH Kazuri’s Time To Solve A Mystery) went select dog both days under judge Mrs Pamela Peat and Mrs. Janice L McClary – he now just needs 1 single to finish his Grand CH title.
I also attended the EYE and HEART clinic – I did clearances on 9 of my dogs – everyone passed their hearts and I had one who we discovered a mild eye issue on but wont impact him. I am so happy. The photo with my 9 week old puppies is of them plus their daddy Granger (CH BeckWith If The Boot Fits TKN), and Emma and Amie Adams who own him.
thank you to all the people who cheered us on, to the judges who found my dogs, and to all the helpers holding my dogs, taking them back in to the ring – I appreciate you all so much. It takes a village – no a community and I am grateful for mine.
These will be the last photos of the babies all together as the boys are heading off to their new homes in the coming. I am so thankful that they went to the vet this week and got a clean bill of health and are strong and ready. (even if they are small – but growing)
My pack is used to puppies, and I would go as far as to say that they enjoy them – they keep young with the youthful play of puppies. I always supervise of course, but it’s always fun to see the older dogs enamored with them.
We have a couple of extra dogs staying for dog shows, so we are a little over full, but not for too long. The extra paws sure make for some fun playtimes.
I am thrilled to be at this point – all 4 pups are healthy and strong and thriving. They eat 3 meals a day, play to their hearts content – they use the litterbox well and come when we clap.
The beautiful thing about fall and ruby cavalier king charles pups is that they look so gorgeous together. The PNW has taken a cold and wet turn and so time outside has been limited for the cavalier pups.
However, we had an afternoon of a break and I took the cavalier babies outside for a little play in the leaves. We didn’t stay out there long as I didn’t want them to get chilled, but I took some cute pictures while we were there.
This was a big week for our little cavalier pups. With the boys back to full health, they were able to move into the dog room – they are enjoying all the new toys, the mini stairs and they have loved meeting the bigger dogs.
We have had a cold and wet spell here in the PNW, and so they haven’t had any outside time yet – I hope this week we might get a few warmer afternoons so they can go outside for a bit.
So – for now, enjoy the pictures of them from today – 6 weeks old.
Sometimes we place puppies and for a miriad of reasons it doesn’t work out. There is no shame or blame in admitting that your family is not right for the dog, or that you don’t have enough time to dedicate to their needs at this time.
This is why, as an ethical preservation breeder, I will always take my dogs back – regardless of age. I want to be part of them finding their forever home, hoping this placement is the right one.
Gus is from my Christopher x Charlotte litter back in November. He is currently 11 months old and up to date on his vaccines etc. He has no allergies or illnesses. He was checked by a vet and is healthy. He also had his heart/eyes cleared by a cardiologist/ophthalmologist at 8-10 weeks. He has also recently been neutered.
Gus has a great enthusiasm for life – he is not your “couch potato” cavalier. He is smart, and energetic. Although in saying that he also loves to kiss and cuddle on our knee.
His family unfortunately never took him to puppy socialization classes etc. and so I have worked on these things for 3 months while he has been with me. He now walks calmly on a leash and is less silly when he meets people.
Gus is sweet and smart and eager to please (with enthusiasm). He is potty trained (finally) 🙂 LOL.
I want to be completely honest with the new family about these things as I want his next home to be his forever home. Till that comes along, he has a forever home with us here at Kazuri, and we will keep working with him and training him.
If you are interested in Gus, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Gus is being offered for $3500 which is a $1000 discount. I would recommend highly that his new family continues to work with him with a obedience class and maybe even a socialization class. He has never shown aggression, but social skills need to be polished
