B and I took Sirius to Ocean shores on our “girls weekend” away so she could practice her moves for her first junior handling events at the COPS (Cavaliers of Puget Sound) dog show. They actually make a wonderful team and I cant wait to see them in the ring next week.,
Meet Vixen “Hailstorms Feeling a Little Foxy at Kazuri” ~ daughter of Mia. She was our keeper puppy from the litter born at Christmas and raised in California with co-owner and breeders Mike and Karen. We have brought her to Seattle to live and so we can show her. She is sweet and cuddly and still very small. It looks like she might stay a 13 – only time will tell.
Now that the cavalier puppies are almost 10 weeks old, we are approaching our final days with them here in our home. In some ways, it seems like a long time and in other ways, the last 10 weeks have flown by in a blink of an eye.
The weather has thankfully been getting nicer lately and so we have been able to enjoy getting outdoors and enjoy the yard outside. The cavalier babies love exploring the yard with the beagles and momma Arrow.
Enjoy the latest pictures of them playing together – possibly the last of them all together as Maggie (now Chloe) will be going to her forever home this weekend.

The cavalier puppies are 7 weeks old and we are thrilled with how they are growing and developing. They are growling and pouncing and playing.
Maggie is non stop energy and a ball of fun. Max is reserved and a thinker. Julia is bold and fearless and James is cheeky. Little Dottie (born from Arrow’s sister Penny but being raised with our litter) is a little bit of a Diva.
We are going to do evaluations next week – I look forward to assessing them for show quality.
Mia’s two boys Kris and TT have come to Seattle for a visit. Kris is going to his forever companion home and TT is going to do some maturing here for a while. We also decided we will keep their sister Vixen as our newest show prospect, so watch this space in the future 🙂
I took some pictures of them this evening – aren’t they handsome boys? they are 4 months old 🙂
It has been a big week – the babies have all grown well. Arrow has played “momma” to 3 extra puppies this week as their mom had no milk to give them (the breeder of these puppies wishes to remain anonymous so to respect her I will not post pics of her babies).
So this evening, I quickly whipped out my camera for a super fast photo session to update head shots and side shots of each puppy.
Enjoy 🙂

The babies are growing up and enjoying life in the sun in Sacramento. For now, one of the girls and the two boys are staying to grow up a little while we watch them and decide who will stay long term. I wish they weren’t so darn cute and make our decision so hard to make 🙂
Arrow and Dustin did good with their sweet babies – here are their close ups.
The temporary names:
Tri boy: James Black n Tan girl : Maggie
Black n Tan boy: Max Ruby girl : Julia
We are beyond thrilled to announce the safe arrival of 4 sweet puppies into the world this morning. Arrow was a rockstar, having all 5 of her puppies in just over 2 hours. Unfortunately, as sometimes happens, one of the little boys was born without a heartbeat and we couldn’t resuscitate him as hard as we tried.
But we are grateful for the 4 beautiful babies we have. We ended up with a Black and Tan girl, a Ruby girl, a Black and Tan boy and a Tri boy.
thank you everyone for your great wishes and your prayers. xox
As much as I love being a breeder of beagles and cavaliers, first and foremost, our dogs are our family members and pets. They sleep on our couches and in our home and we don’t have any “kennel” that they stay in.
This week our home in Woodinville, Seattle experienced snow. It doesn’t happen very often and so when it does, we all get out and enjoy it. The dogs were no exception running and playing and having a blast. Even Arrow, who is a week and a half away from puppies, got out there and played with us all.
So much fun indeed 🙂
