These are just some cell phone photos from today – their eyes are all open and while they are not moving much, I am sure we will start to see shaky walking sometime next week.

Beagle Puppy Report ~ 3 days new
The puppies are all thriving – Maddy is proving to be just what we thought she would be – an amazing momma. Her milk came in right away and the puppies are putting on loads of weight.
Girl 1 – 10.2 oz at birth – she is now 14.7oz Girl 2 – 10.9 oz at birth – she is now 14.9oz Boy 1 – 11.4oz at birth – he is now 15.3 oz Boy 2 – 10.9 oz at birth – he is now 15.9oz
I took a few quick pictures of them today while Maddy was out on a potty break – now you can get a better idea of what they look like 🙂

Puppies are here
With nothing really happening last night, we decided to go to bed. I got up every 2 hours to check on her. While restless, nothing much was happening.
This morning, she woke me up around 6am, and wouldn’t let me out of her sight. Around 8:45 she started pushing and by 8:58 we had our first baby born safe and sound. 10.2 oz baby girl.
After a quick rest, she gave birth to another girl at 9:31 – this one was a little bigger at 10.9oz.
She rested again and with no assistance whelped her first son – all 11.4 oz of him, at 10:15.
Her fourth and final baby was born at 11:16 – another little boy – 10.9oz. Yep – 4 puppies in 2 hours and 18 minutes – what a rockstar!
Maddy is a natural momma and she and the pups are dong so well already. I have to resist the urge to go and pick them up all the time.
I am very excited to see them grow up 🙂
D-Day has arrived – Puppies are on the way
One of the first signs that whelping is imminent is to have a sudden drop in temperature. I temperature check morning and night from day 58. I dont want any surprise deliveries.
Maddy’s temperature dropped this morning – she is hanging out with me and in her puppy pen. Although when I locked her in there, this was her face. Mommy’s girl do you think? Ha!
Cant wait to make the announcement of their safe arrival sometime soon 🙂
Watching…waiting….a watched pot never boils over right?
She’s sleeping a lot right now and we are glad to let her do it. The puppies are all well formed and now just waiting for the right time to be born. Today marks day 60 since ovation or 59 days since her first breeding. Dogs can whelp from day 58 – 64 so we are confident there will be puppies sometime this week.
We are taking Maddy’s temperature daily – when it drops from 99 – 101 to below 98 we know that there will be babies on the way soon.
I’ll be in touch with the happy news 🙂
Beagle Puppy Xray
About a week before whelping, I like to do an xray to get an idea of how many beagle puppies we are expecting. That way, if labor stops and you know there is a puppy or two left, we can call for help and intervention (if need be)
We did a top view and side view. You can see the little skeletons – they kind of look like little lizards don’t they 🙂
From the top view, we can clearly see 4 – two on each side. From the side view, it almost looks like a 5th is tucked up by her leg. Or maybe that’s just a shadow. Either way, we are excited that there will be 4-5 puppies coming soon.
Of course, we need to get them safely into the world – so much can go wrong, and so we are hoping and praying for a safe delivery of all of them, no matter how many or few there are.
Maddy’s beagle belly is growing
Maddy is definitely pregnant and her beagle belly is growing each day. We are dying of course to know how many little ones are in there – its hard to believe that in less than a month we will be snuggling them 🙂
Beagle Puppies are on the way
We here at Kazuri are excited to announce the upcoming litter of Maddy and Slugger. This is a line breeding and includes some gorgeous dogs on both sides. I am excited to see what these two produce.
(CH Foxtail’s Dreaming of the Race and CH Milroc Swing on the Fence)
Due Mid April. We will do an x-ray early April to confirm how many we are expecting.
Congratulations to Diesel
Although, not a Kazuri beagle, I wanted to say congratulations to my mentor Sheri from Foxtail Beagles – Madison’s littermate Diesel went BIS yesterday AND today at the Kansas City Garden show under judges Dr Alvin Krause (Variety & Group) and Judge Mrs Betsy Horn Humer (Best in Show) and todays judges Ms Elizabeth Muthard (Breed), Mr Charles Olvis (Group) and Dr Donald Gill (Best in Show).
Diesel seems to be following in daddy JJ’s pawprints. We are so proud of what you have achieved so far!
