Mishka’s puppies are really starting to look and act like real puppies. They are almost weaned – not because they want to be – ha! We have been taking them outside for short spells and so they are building up muscles and sniffing everywhere skills!
They are sweet and confident – they are getting good at going up 2 – 3 stairs at a time thanks to the little ladder and slide they play on and love playing in the garden. I love snuggling them so much.
What a great Hound Show with the Western Washington Hound Show this weekend. We were thrilled that Mike and Karen and Nick snuck across from TN to attend these shows. We finished 2 dogs and got group placements in a beautiful line up. Fantastic.
Here is how the weekend went –
On Saturday Audrey (Rosehounds Brown Eyed Girl at Kazuri) bred by Bonnie & William Farrell and owned by Bonnie and myself, went WB for a major towards her CH. She just needed 1 more to finish. On Sunday, she did just that and finished 🙂
On Saturday Murphy (Kazuri’s Everything’s Gonna Be Alright) bred by myself, Mike & Karen Kurtzner and owned by Sarah Smith-Falkner andmyself, went WD/BOW for a major towards his CH. He just needed 1 more to finish. On Sunday, he did just that and finished as well 🙂
And to top off a wonderful weekend, Nick (MBIS MBISS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGC TKN ATT) won BOV and then Hound Group 2 both days.
Thank you to judges Mrs Marylyn Pipes and Mrs Lori Nelson for the placements on Saturday and to Mrs Lori Nelson and Mr Hal T Beirmann for the placement on Sunday.
I was so proud of puppy Callie, 10 months old, and new ch. We played as a special in Puyallup this week and she got 3 BOV and 2 Owner Handler Group 4s. Shown by me 🙂
I am beyond thrilled with Dutch – (now BISS GCH Van-Mar N Kazuri Brewin Up Trouble)
Today at the Columbia Willamette Beagle Club he thrilled me by going BOV and then BISS!! With me at the leash!
This was so exciting as he was piloted by breeder/owner – me (Sarah Sweetman). It was also exciting because this is the 2nd BISS winner from our Spencer x Puddin litter. Audrey got a BISS only last month. SO now we have 2 BISS and 2 group placers from this special litter
Dutch was bred by Chelsea Metteer and myself Sarah Sweetman. He is owned by us and Sarah Smith-Falkner.
Thank you to Leigh and Helen for Pud, and to Terri and Dan for the Spencer semen. Thank you to everyone ringside who helped me get dogs and hold dogs while I was in the ring.
It was such a fun day
Unfortunately the judge, Mrs Ann C Meyer was judging Whippets (64 of them) and I couldn’t hang out and wait till she was done to get a photo with her. I am so thankful to her though.
I don’t typically travel for dog shows, but wanted to support my local beagle club by being part of it. Bonnie and I stayed at a local AIrBnb and the dogs enjoyed being able to sleep in bed with me 🙂
I took Callie (my 10 month old 13inch class), Madison (my 15 inch veteran) and met up with friends Bonnie with our shared girl Audrey (15 inch class), Sarah with Dutch (15 special) and Murphy (13 inch class) and Sarah Y with Fonzie (15 inch veteran).
The first day we had loads of ribbons as there was sweeps, the beagle specialty and a hound specialty. The CWBC put on a lovely lunch too.
Thank you to judges Mrs Margie Dykstra for sweeps, Mrs Patricia Anne Keenan for CWBC on Friday, Mrs Sylvie McGee for the Hound show, Mrs Ann C Meyer for CWBC on Saturday and Ms. Sheila Paske for the Hound show Saturday.

I’m so proud of this young boy. He is always breeder/owner/handled by Chelsea and managed to make it down to the top 7 hounds in one of the largest entries of over 300 hounds this past weekend! He is just beginning.
He is the dog with HUGE ring presence, exemplifies “solid and big for his inches” yet remains moderate, and is dripping in breed type!

Sylvie’s babies are growing stronger every day. They have started to make little growls and howls and play with each other and the toys in their puppy pen.
Just like the cavalier pups, I took photos of the girls in the basket and then they explored the garden for a while.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, the weather is warm enough that the little babies can actually go outside. We allowed Nellie’s 2 remaining pups (now 12 weeks) to play with them and it went well. I mean, they beat up on them a little but not too bad.
Enjoy the photos of them in our puppy yard. We just replanted some Oregon Grape there so it looks a little disheveled, but will make an excellent place for them to play as they grow.
