Echo welcomed 4 healthy babies via planned C-Section today – her labor didnt progress last time and so with bigger babies on board we thought that it would be smart to just make the decision before it became an emergency. She came through surgery well and was already licking her babies while waking up. She is an excellent mother. I am grateful.
Just like last time – she had 3 boys and a girl. so I will introduce them below
Girl – 10.0oz
Boy 1 – 12.05oz
Boy 2 – 10.10oz
Boy 3 – 11.75oz
Back home they are all settled and happy. I am so thankful
I was so proud of puppy Callie, 10 months old, and new ch. We played as a special in Puyallup this week and she got 3 BOV and 2 Owner Handler Group 4s. Shown by me 🙂
I am beyond thrilled with Dutch – (now BISS GCH Van-Mar N Kazuri Brewin Up Trouble)
Today at the Columbia Willamette Beagle Club he thrilled me by going BOV and then BISS!! With me at the leash!
This was so exciting as he was piloted by breeder/owner – me (Sarah Sweetman). It was also exciting because this is the 2nd BISS winner from our Spencer x Puddin litter. Audrey got a BISS only last month. SO now we have 2 BISS and 2 group placers from this special litter
Dutch was bred by Chelsea Metteer and myself Sarah Sweetman. He is owned by us and Sarah Smith-Falkner.
Thank you to Leigh and Helen for Pud, and to Terri and Dan for the Spencer semen. Thank you to everyone ringside who helped me get dogs and hold dogs while I was in the ring.
It was such a fun day
Unfortunately the judge, Mrs Ann C Meyer was judging Whippets (64 of them) and I couldn’t hang out and wait till she was done to get a photo with her. I am so thankful to her though.
I don’t typically travel for dog shows, but wanted to support my local beagle club by being part of it. Bonnie and I stayed at a local AIrBnb and the dogs enjoyed being able to sleep in bed with me 🙂
I took Callie (my 10 month old 13inch class), Madison (my 15 inch veteran) and met up with friends Bonnie with our shared girl Audrey (15 inch class), Sarah with Dutch (15 special) and Murphy (13 inch class) and Sarah Y with Fonzie (15 inch veteran).
The first day we had loads of ribbons as there was sweeps, the beagle specialty and a hound specialty. The CWBC put on a lovely lunch too.
Thank you to judges Mrs Margie Dykstra for sweeps, Mrs Patricia Anne Keenan for CWBC on Friday, Mrs Sylvie McGee for the Hound show, Mrs Ann C Meyer for CWBC on Saturday and Ms. Sheila Paske for the Hound show Saturday.

On Saturday won WB, Best Bred By in Variety and best Owner handler in variety at the CWBC specialty, then BOV/BOH over a special at the Hound show to finish her CH.

Dutch – GCH Van-Mar N Kazuri’s Brewin Up Trouble (15) just played at the CWBC show and got Select dog. on Saturday he went BOV and BISS!!!!!!! I was so proud.
Sylvie’s girls are 7 weeks and so I had to take photos of them on my chair. I love this curious, sweet and capable stage – they can navigate 1 stair, use their potty box, eat like they havent eaten in 7 years – it’s amazing.
I love these girls and see a lot of promise of how my imported line can blend with my line
I am so so proud of this little guy. We started him at a show a couple of months ago and in 5 weekends he is a new champion and has 2 majors and CH defeats towards his Grand. What a super little guy. He is a sound mover with a pretty head and correct, easy coat.
Huge thank you to Cheyenne Calvert from Sirius Handling for taking Stevie to Idaho for that last major for me. <3
I’m so proud of this young boy. He is always breeder/owner/handled by Chelsea and managed to make it down to the top 7 hounds in one of the largest entries of over 300 hounds this past weekend! He is just beginning.
He is the dog with HUGE ring presence, exemplifies “solid and big for his inches” yet remains moderate, and is dripping in breed type!
GCH Kazuri N Van-Mar Trouble in Texas “Tex”
by BISS CH Ha-Penny’s Too Much Trouble x AUS CH Karakush Proof is Inth Pudding, proudly bred and owned by Sarah Sweetman and Chelsea Metteer
I love evenings where things are so beautiful. My older dogs are wonderful playmates for the 2 beagle and 3 remaining cavalier pups. Spring in Seattle has never been so wonderful.
Sylvie’s babies LOVE to play with the cavalier puppies. They have their own play space, but we put them together at times and the beagles are developing so fast – I think it’s because they have pups a month older to follow.
The weather is continuing to be gorgeous so there are nightly play sessions with the big dogs – they love them.
Oh my gosh – I am so thrilled to announce that Audrey won BISS in California today (and her littermate Tex went BOS)
BISS GCH. Kazuri N Van-Mar Trouble At Tiffany’s “Audrey”

Thank you again breeder judge Mr. Peerapong Pisitwuttinan for this memorable win. Congratulations to Audrey’s breeders Sarah Sweetman and Chelsea Metteer and especially to Terri Papagni-Carter and Dan Carter for the win of your girl!! We couldn’t be more proud.
