We had a 1 cavalier litter and 3 beagle litters this year. I am so thankful to the breeders that let us use their stud dogs and allow their breeding programs be part of mine. I am so excited to see what the future might hold for our youngsters.

We also made many families very happy by placing our non keepers in loving homes expanding the “Kazuri” family. We are so happy to welcome each and every one of you and thank you for caring and loving our dogs so well. We are so grateful. <3

I wanted to say that we can’t do any of this alone – I am thankful to my village (I am so sorry if I forget to mention anyone specifically). I am so thankful to my co-owners/breeders in beagles Mike and Karen Kurtzner, and to my co-owners in cavaliers Susan and Alisha Lockleer. I am so thankful to Mike and Karen for handling Nick so beautifully plus many of my beagles to CH titles, but also to Tammie Wilcox, Jennifer Bell, Serena Soares, Sarah Yates and Cheyenne Calvert for the role you played in showing, transporting and finishing dogs for me. And thank you to new beagle breeding partner Chelsea Metteer – it was so fun to have a litter with you.

Bring on 2022!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year From Kazuri

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from everyone here at Kazuri.

From the beagle and cavalier babies:

Cinamon (Girl)

Nutmeg (Boy 1)

Ginger (Boy 2)

Clove (Boy 3)

Holly

Cole

Leon

Thank you for your interest in my breeding program. We have an existing waitlist and so these puppies will be spoken for. If you want to be considered for future puppies, please visit my “Puppy page” for details.

Charlotte & Christopher’s cavalier pups turn 2 weeks old

To say I am thrilled is an understatement. Being a breeder is hard work – it comes with ups and downs – from the highs of awards and placements and beautiful litters, to the devastating blows of a missed litter or a puppy passing away after nights staying up around the clock trying to save it’s life. I wouldn’t trade it – it just comes with the territory.

So – when I get a litter that thrives from day 1, I thank God in Heaven. I don’t take it lightly.

Charlotte is a wonderful mother and keeps her babies clean and very well fed. We hardly hear a peep from them. I can’t be more thankful than that.

So – this weeks litter comes with a smile on my face that these little babies are right on track to where they should be. Their eyes have just opened so I know movement is just around the corner.

I decided to name them Christmas names – because why not – it is the most wonderful time of the year afterall. My favorite time of the year in fact. <3

Girl – now Holly (since her mother was originally Mistletoe)

Boy 1 – now Cole (after the late Great Nat King Cole)

Boy 2 – now Leon (an anagram of Noel)

Thank you for your interest in my puppies – at this stage, because of my waitlist, there will not be any puppies available for new enquiries. thank you for understanding.

Charlotte and Christopher’s cavalier pups are 1 week

It is crazy to think we are already at 1 week, but here we are. The babies are thriving. The had a slow start for a few hours and as soon as the anesthetic wore off they were string and vigorous. They only lost a tony bit of weight and then have gained well ever since.

Charlotte is a wonderful mother – surgery hasn’t really impacted her – she loves her babies very much and she take wonderful care of them.

So – without further ado – here they are:

Boy 1

Boy 2

Girl

Thank you for your interest in my puppies – at this stage, because of my waitlist, there will not be any puppies available for new enquiries. thank you for understanding.

Charlotte has her puppies

I am thrilled to announce the safe arrival of Charlotte’s puppies to Christopher (CH Lockestar Hundred Acre Wood).

Since she had such a long drawn out labor last time, we decided to do a scheduled c-section. The days leading up to her birth were spent at the vets office doing reverse progesterone, determining whether it was the right day or not. I appreciate Dr Thoreson from Klahaya Animal Hospital so much – for his care and caution keeping my girls and puppies so safe.

Surgery went smoothly. We got 3 healthy babies – 2 boys and a girl. All blenheims. They were a little sleepy at first from the anesthetic, but we got them nursing a little before we left the clinic.

I cant wait to watch them grow <3

Puppy playtime in the Yard

Anytime there is a break in the rain, and it isn’t too cold, we pop the pups outside for a little playtime. The pack loves playing with them too – our son’s 6 month old Golden Shirley is in love with the babies and loves to wrestle with them. For the most part she is very gentle but we stay very close by, just in case.

Grandma Madison and Momma Rosie love to get in the action too. 🙂 Both are wonderful matriachs and teachers of fun and healthy boundaries.

I hope you enjoy these photos of the babies in our gardens tonight – by the time I had finished taking photos, it was getting a little dark (thanks Winter 🙂 ), but you still get the idea.

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

Nick and Rosie’s beagle babies are 3 weeks old

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.

The final week of everyone being together

This is the final week of the cavalier and beagle pups being together. Fergie (now known as Penelope) has already gone to her new home, and the other cavaliers will be heading to their new homes on Saturday after their ophthalmologist check. **For those who don’t know, I send my cavalier pups home with a cardiologist heart check, an ophthalmologist eye check and a vet check from my regular vet.

The pups are all happy and healthy – I couldn’t be more pleased. I have just loved raising them and being their first mama.

Due to no fault of their own, we have 2 beagle girls available. I am working through my waitlist to find the perfect fit for both. I am hoping to find a “guardian home” for Miss Shiloh (if you want to know more about that click here: Guardian home for “shiloh” | Kazuri (kazuribeagles.com)) and a pet family for Bagel.

Applications for any of our puppies (including future litters) can be found on our puppy page. ~ Puppy Information Page | Kazuri (kazuribeagles.com)

Enjoy these photos of them playing in the yard for their daily romp <3

The cavalier pups are 9 weeks old and beagles pups are 5 weeks old

The puppies are all so wiggly now, it’s hard to get individual photos of them. 🙂 I might try again in my studio again next week. But, they get out in the garden daily for playtime in the garden so I love to document their play sessions. They have so much fun together.

Enjoy these photos of both litters plus our adults. They all get along so well.

*please note that none of the puppies are available at this time*
