These photos were taken in the snow the other day, and cracked me up – they are actually great friends and get along very well.
in this moment, Callie was howling at Nick for having a ball that she wanted and he kept looking at me like “what is her problem mom?” LOL. And tenny puppy Glinda was like “Im staying out it” 😛
Did i ever tell you I love beagles? Life is just never dull with these merry little hounds around
I couldn’t be more proud of these two boys who have both earned an invite to Westminster Kennel Club.
WKC is not the largest dog show in the USA, but holds a tradition of being one of the oldest dog shows in the USA having it’s first show debut on May 8, 1877. There is a certain pride breeders and handlers get from their dog placing at WKC.
An interesting fact is that the The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is one of a handful of benched shows in the United States. This means that all of the dogs are required to be on display at their assigned show benches during the entire show except for when they are shown in the ring, being groomed, or taken outside to potty. This type of display allows spectators and breeders alike to have an opportunity of seeing all the entered dogs, ask questions and put their hands on some of the best quality dogs in the country.
2025 we have a 15 inch dog and 13 inch dog going in beagles.

I love the snow much more than the cold and wet we so often get in the PNW. The beagles and golden just love the snow too – its so sweet to watch them playing chase, finding sticks and just enjoying themselves out there.
I know it wont last long here in Seattle, so we will enjoy it while we can.
Enjoy the photos of them all – the 12 week old babies in the coats are Kiwi (blue-almost going to his new home) and Elphaba (colored) and Glinda (red).

I couldn’t be prouder of Tex and Chelsea and the start they have had to the 2025 show season. They are such a great team and I am cheering them on as they prepare to show at the prestigious Westminster Kennel club.
At the San Fernando Kennel Club they received Two NOHS Reserve Best in Shows and a regular hound Group 3rd. Thank you judges Shindle and Robinson… Be sure to scroll to the last to see Chelsea’s son Ronin’s adorable self in the last photo!
