Kazuri wins multiple awards for the NBC Best of the Best 2022

If I’m honest, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude with the honor of standing beside such incredible breeders and exhibitors and humbled that I had a part to play in several of the awards given out for 2022.

The National Beagle Club announced that Nick is the official 15 inch beagle of the year for 2022. I am beyond grateful to co-breeders and co-owners Mike and Karen who have made Nick the superstar he is as they take him to all the shows across the US

It was a 3 way tie for “Stud dog of the year” – each with 7 CH progeny- Nick (MBIS MBISS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGC TKN ATT), Spencer (BISS CH Ha’Pennys Too Much Trouble) and Alvin (BISS GCHS Tallie Farms Mysteries and Mayhem) – I am so thrilled for breeders and owners of Nick – myself, Mike Karen and of course Penny Petrille who is Spencers breeder., to Dan & Terri Carter (Spencers owners when he was alive) and Susan Kustrup (Alvin’s breeder and owner) – congratulations to each of these deserving dogs.

As if that wasn’t enough, the girl Chelsea Metteer and I imported from Australia and bred her together, Puddin (Aus CH Karakush Proof Is InTh Puddin) won Dam of the year with 7 CHs from one litter (Her litter with SPencer). Huge thank you and congratulations to her breeders Leigh and Helen Gibson.

The thing I marvel about is none of this was done alone. I have strived to build community with my life in dogs and the fact that all of these wins were with my friends is such a bonus. I am so grateful for all the work and effort of those who went before me to set me up for such success. So thank you 💖 to my co-owners, co-breeders and everyone cheering us on.

I say it all the time, but we are better together. At least I know I am. 💖

I can’t wait for their eyes to start opening in the next week or so.

Echo welcomes her beagle litter with Murphy

Echo welcomed 4 healthy babies via planned C-Section today – her labor didnt progress last time and so with bigger babies on board we thought that it would be smart to just make the decision before it became an emergency. She came through surgery well and was already licking her babies while waking up. She is an excellent mother. I am grateful.

Just like last time – she had 3 boys and a girl. so I will introduce them below

Girl – 10.0oz

Boy 1 – 12.05oz

Boy 2 – 10.10oz

Boy 3 – 11.75oz

Back home they are all settled and happy. I am so thankful

Dutch wins Best In Specialty at CWBC

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.

The CWBC Hound Show in Hillsboro OR

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.

On Saturday won WB, Best Bred By in Variety and best Owner handler in variety at the CWBC specialty, then BOV/BOH over a special at the Hound show to finish her CH.

Madison – GCH Foxtail’s Dreaming of the Race (15) just played at the CWBC show and got Best Opp from the Veterans class. She did the same on Saturday for Best Opp from the veterans class.

Dutch – GCH Van-Mar N Kazuri’s Brewin Up Trouble (15) just played at the CWBC show and got Select dog. on Saturday he went BOV and BISS!!!!!!! I was so proud.

Sylvie’s beagle puppies are 7 weeks

Sylvie’s girls are 7 weeks and so I had to take photos of them on my chair. I love this curious, sweet and capable stage – they can navigate 1 stair, use their potty box, eat like they havent eaten in 7 years – it’s amazing.

I love these girls and see a lot of promise of how my imported line can blend with my line

Stevie is a new CKCS champion

I am so so proud of this little guy. We started him at a show a couple of months ago and in 5 weekends he is a new champion and has 2 majors and CH defeats towards his Grand. What a super little guy. He is a sound mover with a pretty head and correct, easy coat.

Huge thank you to Cheyenne Calvert from Sirius Handling for taking Stevie to Idaho for that last major for me. <3

Tex wins a big BOV and a cut in a huge group

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!
