Our final Photos with Arrow’s Puppies

I know it’s been a while since I have posted. Sorry about that. It’s been busy around here. The puppies are now 11 weeks old and about to go to their new homes.

Well *almost* all of them. We have decided to keep the little Ruby – her name is now Phoenix – so you can watch for regular updates on our new little lovebug <3

Prada is now Remy. Chanel is now Coco and Virgil is now Raliegh. They have the most amazing families to love and cherish them and I wanted to do a final photo shoot before they went home.

I sure will miss them <3

Allie wins her first major

After getting 2 Reserve wins on Friday and Saturday, Allie won winners bitch and Best of Opposite on Sunday under judge Mrs
Christie Martinez for her first points and first major. I am very proud of my little girl – this was her first weekend ever going into the ring. She had a steep learning curve, learning what was expected on the table, how to show her bite, and how to stack on the ground. All within a week or so of landing in the USA.

I am very proud of this little girl. She has some growing up to do, but I think she will also be a valuable part of my breeding program moving forward.

Meet Allie – our newest Beagle

I have been wanting a new beagle for a while. A new bloodline that was separate from my own, but a girl whose structure could compliment mine so I could integrate her babies back with mine.

Bory Wood Kennels, run by Ildiko and Levente Koszorus in Romania posted about a litter they had a couple of girls available from. One in particular caught my eye. Her name was Bory Wood Velvet.

We chatted, and somehow it all came together and within 5 weeks, she was on a plane to Washington state. She has integrated into life here well, and will be hitting the showring this Summer.

We have named her “Allie” – in honor of Alyce Gilmore from Bayou Oaks. I have long admired her dogs and the impact her kennel has made on our breed (world wide). She recently passed away from cancer – much too soon – and I wanted Allie to honor her legacy and hopefully make a mark in my kennel the way Alyce did.

Brisa’s puppies are 5 weeks old

I was lucky enough to have a visit by Susan and her sweet cavalier litter today and so I asked her if she wouldn’t mind if I could photograph them. She say “yes” and so of course I did. 🙂 The dam of this litter is my Arrow’s cousin, and the stud is the same dad Journey.

Please note that we are a small, family hobby cavalier king Charles spaniel breeder here in Woodinville which is just north of Seattle, Washington. While these puppies might already be sold, we are taking names for future puppies we have planned. We also have a network of other breeders that we are connected to, so if we dont have a puppy for you, we would be happy to connect you to someone else who might have a perfect furry companion for you.

Paris’s puppies are 7 weeks

I got to watch Paris’ puppies for almost 2 weeks while my breeding partner was attending the ACKCS national in Cape Cod. It was wonderful to have them here – to see all 10 puppies interact and bond and play together. Just before they left, they turned 6 weeks and 5 days so I thought I would take their 7 week old pictures for your enjoyment. They are just the cutest aren’t they?

Arrow’s puppies are 7 weeks

Arrow’s puppies are 7 weeks old. They are really showing off their personalities now. Virgil and Burberry are bold and curious but also up for a snuggle. Prada is very social and like a little shadow – just wants to be where ever I am. Chanel is confident with her siblings, but a little more hesitant in new situations.

Enjoy this weeks pictures <3

Truman gets 2 more 4th placement awards at the nationals

Truman ended his first nationals with 2 more 4th placements in his 6-9 month old classes. We got great compliments from the judges – one specifically asked us to bring him back to him when he was more mature. I guess he could see the potential in our little guy, under all the wiggles and gangly teenage-ness 🙂 LOL.

For his first BIG shows, he did so well. I am sure he will sleep very very well on the plane home.

Arrow’s puppies are 6 weeks

I cant believe we have made the half way mark – they are full puppies now (with little needle teeth – and they are not afraid to use them :)) HA!

They are energetic, until they crash on our laps and snooze – we love it. When we call them, they run up to us with their tails waggling like crazy and if we dont pick them fast enough, they tell us all about it. They are so social. 🙂

What can I say? They are just adorable.

We will start to look at their structure over the next 2 weeks and then start to look at who might stay and then place the others in their forever homes. It is going to be difficult that’s for sure. I will cherish these final days of not knowing, and just enjoy them blissfully unaware

Paris and James’s puppies are 5 weeks

With Paris’ puppies staying here, of course I couldn’t resist but to take photos of them. They have grown so much since I last saw them and they are just the sweetest. I have loved getting daily snuggles with them, along with Arrow’s 4. I dont know how I will ever be able to say goodbye again next weekend.

Enjoy the lastest pictures of them at 5.5 weeks 🙂
