Vixen and Bob’s beagle pups arrive

1 Comment

I wanted to have one retirement litter from Vixen (aka Vickle Pickle – aka Pickle-pops, aka Dobby). She is Nick’s mom, but more than that, she has an incredible structure and a temperament that is worth passing on to generations to come.

I chose a stud that passed away a few years ago so we needed to do a frozen semen breeding with her. His name is Bob – CH The Whim’s Legato. It is a wonderful old pedigree that I am excited to bring back into my lines.

Puppy pedigree – Vixen x Bob

We were a little disappointed to see only 2 on the ultrasound. Better 2 than none, but we were really hoping for a full litter.

I knew I wanted to give her a C-section – in her first litter she had a couple of pups get stuck and I didn’t want to put her through the trauma of that again. Nov 23rd was the first date for a reverse progesterone and ultrasound to see if they babies are ready to be born.

Nov 23rd came around and we went to see Dr Thoreson at Klahaya Animal Hospital. Everything showed she was ready, so she went back for her c-section. I was grateful to be able to rub down puppies and see them as they arrived.

Surgery went smoothly – Vixen ended up giving us 2 bonus babies – 3 boys and 1 girl for a litter of 4. She was hiding them really well – she did not look big at all.

I am so thankful to Dr Anders Thoreson and his team for their excellent care of my momma and pups.

Here are some close ups of each baby:

Girl (10.7oz)

Boy 1 (10.1oz) – wide collar

Boy 2 (10.09oz) thin collar

Boy 3 (10.4oz) dot

Mama and babies are all doing excellent – Before Vix was even awake she was trying to lick them and care for them. Once fully awake she started cleaning them. She remembered immediately what she was meant to do. I couldn’t be more proud of my sweet girl.

I apologize that no pet pups are available at this time as we are going to take our time assessing this litter very carefully and may end up growing several up. Thank you for your understanding.

I am especially sorry for families waiting for girls as this is another boy heavy litter – I can give you referrals to other breeders at this time as it will be a while (6+ months) before a girl is available from us. We will likely keep this girl since she is Vixen’s last daughter.

Rosie’s beagle pups turn 6 weeks old

It is fall here in the PNW and it has been a cold and wet one. This has meant that the babies have not really had much of an opportunity to get outside.

However, we got a break in the rain and the temperature was over 50 so i took them out to the garden. They walked out into the garden like they had been out there 100 times – i can’t believe their confidence!

Their little personalities are starting to emerge. The little girl is just that – little. She is tiny but with a huge personality. None of her big brothers can push her around.

I am just in love with them all. And so grateful for the opportunity to love them and enjoy them.

Please remember that no pet pups are available at this time as we are going to take our time assessing this litter very carefully and may end up growing several up. Thank you for your understanding.

Nick has exceeded my every wish this year and more.

The statistics came out today and Nick is currently the #1 15 inch beagle in both All Breed and Breed points!! WOW!!

Nick is a multiple Best in show winner and a multiple Specialty Winner. He has has won 20 groups and 64 group placements since mid February. Before that he was a class dog – we hadn’t shown him due to COVID.

His first group placement was his first day as a special ? This little dog never disappoints us. He temperament is happy and confident.

He has passed all of his health tests. As a breeders and owners myself (Sarah Sweetman) and Mike and Karen Kurtzner couldn’t be more proud. ❤

Phoenix gets a great MRI Scan

Anyone who knows me, knows that health testing is important to me and my breeding program.

MaryBeth from Embee cavaliers in Ontario Canada hosts MRI scanning clinics at TVVS several times a year. My friend Alisha from Lockestar cavaliers was taking a few of her dogs and so I was lucky enough to send Phoenix as well.

She was 2 years 8 months at the time of scanning.

Here were results:

Chiari-like malformation present: Mild
Syringomyelia : Grade 0
Syringomyelia location: NA
Atlantooccipital overlap grading: Grade 0
Dorsal compressive AA band grading: Grade 0
Medullary elevation/kinking: Absent
Ventricular dilation: Normal
Cerimunous Otitis: Right sided.

I am thrilled with these results. <3

All of the beagles babies now have their eyes open and as soon as that happened they started to motor around the puppy pen. They pile up on top of each other and chew on each others legs and ears.

They had their first taste of food, which they all loved. I will make a post of that too.

Enjoy their latest pictures taken today. They were not interested in sitting still today – so I took pictures of them toddling around.

Please remember that no pet pups are available at this time as we are going to take our time assessing this litter very carefully and may end up growing several up. Thank you for your understanding.

Rosie’s beagle pups are 2 weeks old

The beagle pups are thriving under Rosie’s care. She makes them want for nothing and it is such a pleasure to pick them up with have their full bellies and chubby legs and have them yawn with laziness and they have nothing to do but grow and sleep.

We had two start opening their eyes this week – Boy 1 and boy 4 – the others have tiny slits so we know it wont be long before we see their eyes too, but they are certianly in no hurry to grow up – maybe I should have named them after the “lost boys” from Peter Pan who never wanted to grow up. 😛 HAHA.

I am loving this unexpected blessing of raising these precious little souls. Their daddy Nick won Reserve Best In Show today on their 2 week birthday <3

Enjoy their latest pictures taken today. Please remember that no pet pups are available at this time as we are going to take our time assessing this litter very carefully and may end up growing several up. Thank you for your understanding.

Ruby – now 1b 2.06

Mick – now 1lb 3.8oz

Keith – 1lb 4.0oz

Ronnie – now 1lb 3.9oz

Charlie – now 2lb 1.2oz (yes he is a chunk)

Rosie & Nick’s beagle babies turn 1 week

Rosie and Nick’s 5 sweet beagle babies are growing well – they are healthy and strong and chubby. Rosie is a wonderful momma – she keeps them immaculate and clean and very well fed.

I have decided to call this litter after the Rolling Stones. Our family have been enjoying some of their old school tunes lately and it seemed fitting. These will just be their temporary blog names – we will name them properly later when we decide who our “keeper/s” are. But for now, enjoy the “Rolling Stones”.

Ruby – after Ruby Tuesday. Was 7.27oz, now 12.91oz

Mick – after Mick Jagger – was 7.7oz, now 15.03oz

Keith – after Keith Richards – was 8.64oz now 14.96oz

Ronnie – after Ronnie Wood – was 8.27oz, now 14.36oz

Charlie – after Charlie Watts – was 10.97, now 20.95oz (or 1lb 4.95oz)

Thank you for your interest in these puppies but at this time we are not promising any pet pups – we are waiting to see what they look like and we will decide closer to 7 weeks or so depending on their structure and movement. we thank you for your patience and understanding.

Rosie & Nick welcome their babies into the world

We are thrilled to announce the safe arrival of Nick and Rosie’s puppies. This is the 3rd generation of puppies for Kazuri and our first “Kazuri” to “Kazuri” breeding. These are also our first babies from Nick – our superstar and #1 15 inch in the USA dog. So, this is a special litter in so many ways.

Enjoy the first “real” photos of them. Please note that at this time there are no puppies available as pets. We are going to take our time choosing who will stay here at Kazuri. Thank you for your understanding.
