Truman gets his first major!

I am so very proud of Truman – Kazuri’s Struck By The Truth with LockeStar, CGC at the Cook Inlet Kennel club show! He won Winners Dog/Best Of Winners from the 9 to 12mo class for a 4pt major, then Best Of Breed over 3 specials bumping up to 5pts! Thank you Judge Timothy Catterson for seeing such potential in our young boy!

We are over the moon!!

Truman is by GCH Orchard Hill True Enough – Blake owned by Mia Lawson from Zelosia Cavaliers and LockeStar Love Struck, CGC – Arrow.

Special thank you to Truman’s co-owners Alisha Lockleer and Susan Lockleer for seeing the potential in him when he was just a pup, and for taking Truman to Alaska this weekend and showing him so well.

A huge thanks again to Zoelea Jones Vey for her amazing hospitality towards them and our dogs, for the second year in a row, making it not only about dog shows, but about visiting friends and just having a grand time! I wish I wasn’t on puppy watch and could have been there – maybe next year!

Brianna and Sirius – a dream team!

Brianna (my daughter) decided to take Sirius in the Jrs ring this weekend at the Cavaliers of Puget Sound (COPS) dog shows at Puyallup Kennel Club. She also took him into the Breed ring. Sirius responds so well to her – he watches her intently and just loves her.

To our amazement and thrill, Sirius and Brianna won the first (and only) Award of Merit under esteemed breeder judge Mrs. Cindy Huggins! <3 What a win indeed! <3

I really hope they continue – they could go so far together.

Paris gets a clear MRI Scan

We are thrilled to announce that Paris got a clear MRI Scan this weekend.

It was wonderful news for our breeding program and all of her puppies.

SM/CM are polygenic – this means that the genes can be hidden through multiple generations and pop up unexpectedly. However, we can use this tool as information moving forward in our breeding program and hopefully make the best decisions for healthy pups in the future.

Lockestar Puppies come to visit

While Alisha and Susan were away getting Paris MRI scanned, we were on puppy duty for Flame and Penny and their puppies. Of course, I had to take them outside for some quick photos. They are 6.5 weeks old and so sweet.

I think a couple of them are still available and so if you are interested in one, please contact Alisha through: https://anyeazi.wixsite.com/lockestarcavaliers

Allie gets her 2nd major!

I am so proud that after a reserve win to a major, Miss Allie won her 2nd Major win under Hound specialist Mrs Azalea Alvarez at the Coeur d’Alene dog show this weekend. She was piloted by Emma Adams, a wonderful Jr Handler who will be showing her at some of the hound specialties over the Summer as she tries to qualify for Westminster this year. I am so proud of you both!

Our final Photos with Arrow’s Puppies

1 Comment

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.
