It is nearly Christmas and so it seemed fitting to do their 5 week old photos in front of the Christmas tree. They are all thriving and doing so well – it is hard to believe some will be heading to their new homes in a few short weeks.
Enjoy their Yule tide photos – we wish everyone a Merry Christmas
Things are starting to really get fun with the puppies becoming animated – they wake up and toddle over when we walk into the room and try to play bite our fingers. They love the new toys in their area and try to drag them around and fight them. it’s really fun to see them and start seeing glimpses of their personalities.
They are all healthy and well after their tummy troubles from last week, and I am grateful to see steady growth from all of them including teeny little Glinda who still is under one pound. It’s crazy to see how much smaller she is than the others, but don’t discount her as she can hold her own – she is tiny but very mighty.
Enjoy their latest photos – the next ones will be almost Christmas and so we shall try to do a little christmasy theme I think
This has been a big week – the puppies got some kind of tummy bug and the poor sweet babies got vomiting and diarrhea. So we had a few days of making sure they were hydrated and keeping up on calories. Thankfully we seem to be back on track to healthy and so we are on track again.
They are starting to crawl around, and play fight – their tiny growls are just adorable. I love that when I go into visit them, they wake up and come toddling over.
Enjoy the photos of them from this week – a titch over 3 weeks as I wanted to make sure they were safe and healthy.
We definitely have little boys from this litter that will be available in January to go to their forever homes. If you are interested, please contact us.
I love it when puppy eyes open – I know it is one step towards them walking around which is one of my favorite stages. Harley is a wonderful momma and she loves her babies – she keeps them all spotlessly clean.
Enjoy the photos of them from this week showing that they all have their eyes open and are growing well
Its been a big few days with the teeny girl getting pneumonia and needing 24 hour support with tube feeding and hydration, nebulizer treatments and antibiotics. So i am tired. However, I am so pleased to say that she is doing well and we are so proud that she is a fighter and we will continue to fight alongside her and watch her closely. We are cautiously optimistic that she will make it.
Since I am a Musical nut and this week is the release of “Wicked” at the movies (and it is also here on the stage in Seattle) I decided to give everyone names from there.
Harley Quinn was due on Sunday or Monday (according to progesterone) and decided to surprise us with her babies on the early hours of this morning. She had 5 boys and 2 girls in the space of 3 hours.
Boy #1 – thin necklace (6.75oz)
Girl #1 – lots of white (4.6oz)
Girl #2 – teeny girl (3.5oz)
Boy #2 – thick white collar (5.5oz)
Boy #3 – two dots on neck (5.75oz)
Boy #4 – one dot and giant (9.75oz)
Boy #5 – flick of white – (6oz)
Mom and babies are doing very well and I can’t wait to introduce them to you in a couple of days when we have the little teeny girl settled.
I can’t believe the beagle puppies are 7 weeks old already. It feels like they were just born and now we have to start making some hard decisions about who is going to stay in our breeding program and who will go as beloved pets. Many of these puppies are similar and could potentially be a show dog, but not every puppy needs to be a show dog or bred from.
They are confident, fun, sweet and happy to meet new people. They were seen by a vet and all clear 🙂
Enjoy their 7 week old portraits which I did outside on a rock – poor move as many photos are blurry due to them being so wiggly <3
I am so proud of Mr Charlie who won WD/BOW on Friday under judge Yvonne Savard and then reserve on Saturday on Mrs. Carol C Sommerfelt and then WD again on Sunday under judge Mr. Gary Stiles.
Charlie (Kazuri’s The Mystery of Hope) is owned by me (Sarah Sweetman) and was bred by Becky Smith & Sue Savage Green. I am very thankful to them for trusting me with this sweet boy. Thank you to Cheyenne from Sirius handling for taking Charlie to these shows when I couldn’t attend.
I love that now days, the growth is noticeable even day to day. things that made them nervous yesterday, now have a positive association and their curiosity takes over.
We are using as much of the last of the Summer days as possible and hoping fall will wait just a little longer before coming out too much and bringing the cold days and rainfall.
My older dogs are so curious about the little ones but wont get to meet them til next week, just to keep them all safe.
Hound shows are so much fun to attend – the comradery is so fun between the sight and scent hounds. It’s good fun with good friends and we all cheer each other on which is so nice.
This is how the weekend went for the Kazuri dogs – owned/co-owned.
Callie (GCHB Kazuri’s Everything’s Sugar N Spice FDC DCAT) won BOV/BOVOH in 13s both days. Callie is bred by Sarah Sweetman, MIke & Karen Kurtzner and is owned by Sarah Sweetman

Whimsy (Joyful Noise N Kazuri Just Glitter In The Wind) went WB both days for 1 more point towards her CH title. Whim won best Puppy in 15s and Best BBE in 15s. Whim was bred by Dolly Stearns and Sarah Sweetman is owned by myself (Dolly Stearns and Ruthie Tesky)

Though not bred by Kazuri, both of Gracie’s parents are Kazuri dogs. So she is still family. 🙂 She was bred by Sarah Smith-Falkner and is owned by Malia Throop & Sarah Smith-Falkner
