Cooper is our old soul – at nearly 11, we are aware that we will soon be on borrowed time with him. My friend Sacha Blue met us in Kirkland this sunny evening. At the last minute I decided to bring the dogs and I am so glad I did as she captured this beautiful portrait of my son, my mom and Cooper.
6 years ago we brought him to the USA from New Zealand and I haven’t regretted that decision once. He was my first beagle love and our very start in this beautiful breed.
After much deliberation, we talked to Sheri from Foxtail beagles about acquiring a puppy from her recent litter. Maddy is the half sister to Stella (both being sired by JJ – BIS BISS CH Foxtails Race for the Race) but Maddy is closer aligned to what I want in a show puppy (and ultimately to breed from).
So we welcome Madison (aka Foxtails Dreaming of the Race) to our family. <3
He might be 10, but Cooper is proving to be an amazing puppy raiser – gentle but firm as he plays with them.
