New champion in 13s – Morrison (Kazuri’s Everything Reminds Me of You)
I was so excited about this litter that I got from 25 year old semen from “BJ” – (BIS BISS Tashwould De Ja Vu) and our homebred CH Rosie (Kazuri’s Everythings Coming Up Roses).
Morrison finished from the BBE puppy class in 4 shows with 4 majors at 9 months old – this is a hard feat in 13s and we were so excited that he finished so fast.
We are so proud of this little beagle girl who finished her CH title with 4 majors from the 6-9 month class. She has a great ring presence and took to showing well – I am super excited to see what she does next. Congratulations to the Roman family!!
Chairty was in labor all night but nothing was really progressing. Knowing my vet was unavailable over the weekend, and it being a Friday, we opted to just take her in for a csection.
I am so so glad we did. Dr Thoreson said her uterus was not cut and repaired well the last time she had a Csection (emergency vet), and it was close to rupture in that incision area. I am so thankful he was able to get the puppies out safely and Charity was okay also. I can’t imagine the devastation of losing her if her uterus had split open. Needless to say, this will be her second and final litter.
The C section went well and Charity recovered as expected. Just like last time, she was very smitten with her babies from the start. At Dr Thoreson’s, we saw we had 5 boys and 2 girls, but didn’t weigh and measure them till we got them home. All 7 are thriving and so is mom.
The markings are all so similar and so we put collars on them to tell them apart.
I always say there is no place that is more beautiful than the Pacific Northwest in the Summertime. The dogs love having outside time and the puppies love playing with them (supervised of course). Enjoy these photos of some of our adult cavaliers, adult beagles, our golden Shirley and the beagle puppies.
The PNW is having a heat wave and so it has been really nice for the puppies to experience going outside as the shade is even very warm. Cleo’s pups are just 4 weeks old and so have only just begun to explore the great outdoors. Mishka’s 6 week old pups just love it out there – especially when the pack is out and they have someone to chase after. They are surprisingly confident for their ages and love to sniff and walk around – it’s a great start to their socializing outside.
I love this show – this year I decided to take a chance and camp on site in my tiny 14ft camper with my friend Malia, hoping to contain some of the chaos and have a place for the dogs to run when they weren’t needed in the ring.
It meant we had to play logistics games, and we walked over 7 miles a day, but I was grateful for the space we had. We even managed to hook up a mister sprayer to keep them cool in the shade – it was a heat wave everywhere in the country and so we were glad to be able to keep the dogs safe.
I should also mention that we took 4 cavaliers and 9 beagles so it was busy 🙂
On Friday we had the first Cavaliers of Puget Sound specialty show. Our judge was Mrs Valerie Cromer who is a breeder I admire greatly (Truelegance cavaliers). I was thrilled that Charlie (Kazuri’s Mystery of Hope), Paige (Kazuri’s Love Story) and Banksy (Kazuri’s I’m Banking On It at Afton) won their classes. Banksy also won Best Opp in Sweeps also. While we didn’t walk away with points, we were grateful for the nod from a breeder we admire.
The Saturday, we had a ring conflict so Charlie and Banksy got shown, but I had to pull Paige and Piper – i was so gutted. It is hard to show 2 breeds sometimes.
Beagles – the Saturday, as I mentioned above, we had a ring conflict so I was literally running from ring to ring. Malia and I had planned to have help, but ring conflicts for them, meant we were on our own with 9 beagles. It meant that the dogs didn’t have a chance to warm up or get ready. We had a lot of puppies who were at their first show, it wasn’t how we wanted to give them their first ring experience. Despite all of this, the puppies all showed well – they stood on the table and walked on a leash – I will call that a win all around 🙂
Sunday and Monday were better as we didn’t have cavaliers to show. we had great competition so didn’t win it all, but Morrison (Kazuri’s everything reminds me of you) won WD/BOW in 13s for his first major and 5 points. Lucy (Wilderness You Cant Take My Sass) won WB for 2 points on Monday. Callie (GCH Kazuri’s Everything’s Sugar N Spice BCAT) and Savanah (CH Kazuri’s Gonna Be Peachy) won a select Major each. Brinn (Kazuri’s Chasing My Dreams) won reserve all 3 days. Gracie (who I didn’t breed but she comes from dogs I bred) won BOV on Saturday, and select/OHBOV on Monday. So, it was a great weekend all around.
Lastly, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that two Jrs borrowed Charlie and Paige for the specialty show, and Callie for the AB show and had some wonderful success – it was fun to see my dogs be shown by someone else and had success – well done S and V!
The PNW has beautiful weather and my garden is BLOOMING so i just knew the photos for this week needed to be in front of them. I waited till after a giant play time outside and till the sun went down so around 8pm – they were very sleepy and it didnt take much convincing to have them stay in one spot. I even managed to get them all sitting together.
Enjoy the little beagle puppies <3 I love them so so much
The beagle babies are now fully a part of our family and pack – they confidently eat and play and enjoy life apart from their momma. They have loads of personality and love snuggles. I am so excited for their new families to receive their bundles of joy in the coming weeks.
Enjoy the photos of them on the blue chair this week 🙂
Cleo is Nick and Rosie’s only daughter – she is a beloved pet and an Instagram star @cleo_thebeagle_ig Her family agreed to let me have a litter with her and I chose Chevy (CH Meadowcrest Blew My Mind) as her stud.
Overnight on Monday, she was clingy and whiney and so I slept beside her. In the week hours of Tuesday morning she was restless and shivering a little but no panting or major nesting. She didn’t want me to leave her side and so I started an email sitting close by the whelping pen so she would know I was there, but not feel me hovering.
I didn’t hear a grunt, push or any liquid sounds. My daughter came in to check on us, and peered over the pen and said “there is a puppy in there”. WHAT???? I was less than 2 feet away – I sprung to my feet – the pup was still in the sack and we broke it open and started to rub and get her warm – she started breathing and Cleo pushed out another puppy – they must have been minutes apart.
Baby #1 was a tri girl – 8.9oz
Baby #2 was a red and white boy – 9.3oz
we had a large gap and so under vet advice we gave her a small dose of oxy and she started pushing immediately and we had another boy – thanks to my momma who helped rub them down and weigh them
Tri boy – 9.4oz
and last baby was a blue boy – 10.35oz – just like her mom Rosie she saved the biggest for last. this color is not common since it is a double recessive color, but is part of the standard (just in case anyone wanted to know)
All the pups are thriving and doing great – we couldn’t be more thankful.
Mishka and Murphy’s pups are getting rolly-ier and polly-ier (thats a real term I know). 🙂 HAHA. No eyes opening yet, but thats okay – I am sure it wont be long. They are strong and well fed – Mishka has been a super mom once again.
