I am so proud of miss Brinn – she lives with her mom and dad in Seattle and they agreed to let me show her. Her first show this year was indoors and she got frightened by some loud crashes and dogs barking – so much so that I pulled her from the ring as I didnt want her to associate fear with the ring. We held her and walked her around and by the end of the weekend she was in her groove.
We have shown her sporadically over the Summer and she garnered 4 majors – 2 of which were going BOS over several lovely specials for 5 and 4 point majors! It seemed when judges liked her, they really liked her.
Brinn will take time off now and will hopefully have a litter for Kazuri in 2025 – stay tuned for that announcement.
Daisy and Charity are wonderful mommas and are sharing the duties. Daisy has a little more milk than Charity but that makes sense since Chairty is feeding 5 and Daisy 4. Both girls love their babies and take good care of them.
1 week old and we needed to come up with a theme. So – i decided to go with “Yellowstone” which isn’t super original but has plenty of guy names to choose from.
We are so proud of this little beagle girl who finished her CH title with 4 majors from the 6-9 month class. She has a great ring presence and took to showing well – I am super excited to see what she does next. Congratulations to the Roman family!!
These sweet little babies are gaining confidence and now use the whole yard as their playground when they are allowed to. I love watching them explore and play. They will be heading off to their new homes way too soon and I am trying to soak up as many puppy cuddles as I can till then
The PNW is having a heat wave and so it has been really nice for the puppies to experience going outside as the shade is even very warm. Cleo’s pups are just 4 weeks old and so have only just begun to explore the great outdoors. Mishka’s 6 week old pups just love it out there – especially when the pack is out and they have someone to chase after. They are surprisingly confident for their ages and love to sniff and walk around – it’s a great start to their socializing outside.
I loved Mishka’s puppy photos in front of the hydrangeas and so of course I needed to recreate it with Cleo’s babies. Again, I waited till the sun mostly set so I didn’t overheat them.
Cleo’s babies are not as strong on their feet, but they looked SO cute up on the crate (it isn’t too high off the ground – safety first I promise).
Enjoy these little baby beagle bites as much as we are.
I love this show – this year I decided to take a chance and camp on site in my tiny 14ft camper with my friend Malia, hoping to contain some of the chaos and have a place for the dogs to run when they weren’t needed in the ring.
It meant we had to play logistics games, and we walked over 7 miles a day, but I was grateful for the space we had. We even managed to hook up a mister sprayer to keep them cool in the shade – it was a heat wave everywhere in the country and so we were glad to be able to keep the dogs safe.
I should also mention that we took 4 cavaliers and 9 beagles so it was busy 🙂
On Friday we had the first Cavaliers of Puget Sound specialty show. Our judge was Mrs Valerie Cromer who is a breeder I admire greatly (Truelegance cavaliers). I was thrilled that Charlie (Kazuri’s Mystery of Hope), Paige (Kazuri’s Love Story) and Banksy (Kazuri’s I’m Banking On It at Afton) won their classes. Banksy also won Best Opp in Sweeps also. While we didn’t walk away with points, we were grateful for the nod from a breeder we admire.
The Saturday, we had a ring conflict so Charlie and Banksy got shown, but I had to pull Paige and Piper – i was so gutted. It is hard to show 2 breeds sometimes.
Beagles – the Saturday, as I mentioned above, we had a ring conflict so I was literally running from ring to ring. Malia and I had planned to have help, but ring conflicts for them, meant we were on our own with 9 beagles. It meant that the dogs didn’t have a chance to warm up or get ready. We had a lot of puppies who were at their first show, it wasn’t how we wanted to give them their first ring experience. Despite all of this, the puppies all showed well – they stood on the table and walked on a leash – I will call that a win all around 🙂
Sunday and Monday were better as we didn’t have cavaliers to show. we had great competition so didn’t win it all, but Morrison (Kazuri’s everything reminds me of you) won WD/BOW in 13s for his first major and 5 points. Lucy (Wilderness You Cant Take My Sass) won WB for 2 points on Monday. Callie (GCH Kazuri’s Everything’s Sugar N Spice BCAT) and Savanah (CH Kazuri’s Gonna Be Peachy) won a select Major each. Brinn (Kazuri’s Chasing My Dreams) won reserve all 3 days. Gracie (who I didn’t breed but she comes from dogs I bred) won BOV on Saturday, and select/OHBOV on Monday. So, it was a great weekend all around.
Lastly, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that two Jrs borrowed Charlie and Paige for the specialty show, and Callie for the AB show and had some wonderful success – it was fun to see my dogs be shown by someone else and had success – well done S and V!
The beagle babies are now fully a part of our family and pack – they confidently eat and play and enjoy life apart from their momma. They have loads of personality and love snuggles. I am so excited for their new families to receive their bundles of joy in the coming weeks.
Enjoy the photos of them on the blue chair this week 🙂
It was a beautiful sunny day, so I thought we would go outside for some photos and a sniff around. The puppies felt they werent ready and there were many mews of “take us back to our blankies” LOL> We shall try again in a few days
The beagle puppies are growing – Mishka keeps them very well fed and content – they are starting to walk around and explore their baby pen and so this week will be experiencing mushy food for the first time and having toys in their pen to play with. We will also add a potty box this week as they are walking away from their sleeping area and going poop so i think it’s time.
