Updated pictures of Harley’s beagle puppies

Leave a comment

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.

Introducing (Names above the puppy’s pictures)

Girl #1 (more white) – Elphaba

Girl #2 (less white) – Glinda

Boy #1 (thin white collar) – Fiyaro

Boy #2 (thick white collar) – Oz

Boy #3 (two dots) – Pfannee

Boy #4 (one dot) – Boq

Boy #5 (flick) – Avaric

Charity and Daisy’s beagle puppies turn 7 weeks old

2 Comments

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

Charlie gets his first points

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.

Beagle puppies play outdoors with confidence

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.

Enjoy them playing outside for now 🙂

All Hound Club of Bellingham Show

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

Gypsy (Joyful Noise N Kazuri Just Lace and Paper Flowers) went WB both days for 2 more points towards her CH title. Gyp won “best puppy” in 13s on Saturday. Gypsy was bred by Dolly Stearns and Sarah Sweetman is owned by myself (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)

Ozzy ( Kazuri N Joyful Noise Just Over the Rainbow) went WD both days for 1 more point towards his CH title. He also won “Best Bred By” in 13s on Sunday and got a BBE Hound group 2!! Ozzy was bred by Dolly Stearns and Sarah Sweetman is owned by Tesla Sabatier, Sarah Sweetman & Dolly Stearns.

Gracie (GCH CH Zamaradi’s Beautiful Mistake FDC DCAT CGC TKN ATT ) won best opposite 15” Saturday and select/BOBOH Sunday and a cut in the hound group! 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

Savannah (GCH CH Kazuri’s Gonna Be Peachy FDC) got select both days. On top of that Savannah got her BCAT title last weekend at the Iliana Schipperke Club. Vannah was was bred by Sarah Sweetman is owned by Malia Throop and Sarah Sweetman

Maxim (GCH Kazuri’s Rocking The Naughty List at Roylcrest) won select dog in a huge line up of lovely specials on Saturday putting him just a couple of points shy of his GCH Bronze title. Maxim is bred by Sarah Sweetman, Mike & Karen Kurtzner and is owned by Lorna & Sam Boydston and Sarah Sweetman

New cavalier puppies

1 Comment

There is nothing I love more than to celebrate with others and build community as we love and try to do right by these beautiful dogs we are entrusted with.

I had the honor of placing and co-owning Stella (CH Kazuri’s Diamond In The Sky) with Emma and Amie Adams who have been showing cavaliers longer than I have but never leapt into the breeding side of things. When they mentioned they wanted to start breeding, I was honored to work with them and it has been a pleasure to co-breed a litter and walk them through all the parts from breeding to whelping to dew claws and more.

They are doing a phenomenal job and I am so proud of them. The sire is their lovely boy Granger (GCH BeckWith If the Boot Fits).

If you want to follow the progress of these little poppets, head over to Clairety Cavaliers ❤

Callie wins BOV/BOSS at the Midwest Regional Beagle Specialty

I travelled to Amana Iowa to attend “Beaglefest” early Sept and had so much fun meeting fanciers i have “met” online but actually getting to sit and chat with them in person. It was fun to be in the ring with so many amazing dogs and people. There was so much comradery and laughter – everything community and competition should be. If anyone is thinking about going, I would say “do it”.

My little 13 inch beagle Callie (GCHB Kazuri’s Everything’s Sugar N Spice DCAT FDC) won Best of Variety in 13s under respected breeder judge Dr Oleg N Voloshin Ph.D. She went on to win BOSS to the lovely Victor who won 15s. I was thrilled to be in the ring with Victor and be awarded beside him.

Callie also won Select B under Dr. Camille McArdle D.V.M at the Amana Hound Show.

This little spice girl is my heart and soul and she’s not always easy to show, but always gives it her all. She also ran 6 Fast cat runs completing her DCAT and getting many points towards her FCAT.

Callie is owner/breeder shown and I am so thankful to Liz for letting me use Arthur for my Rosie girl. (CH Bill T’s August Rush to Alpenglow x CH Kazuri’s Everything’s Coming up Roses)

Charity and Daisy’s beagle puppies turn 4 weeks old

The beagle puppies are 4 weeks old and using their potty boxes regularly, and eating 3 meals of mush a day. Mommas Daisy and Charity have earned a well deserved break and are nursing as needed a couple of times a day. I think they really enjoy the space as well as being able to care for their babies when they want to.

The puppies are up on their feet and getting stronger every day. I love their little wobbly play sequences and little growls and howls – it’s only a matter of time before we hear a baby bark 🙂

Enjoy their latest photos 🙂
