Time is now racing by. The babies have starting sleeping through the night by themselves without Maddy and Maddy is feeding them less and less. I guess those needle sharp teeth are starting to really hurt (I should know – owch!).
Their development is coming along leaps and bounds and we are loving their personalities emerging.
enjoy the final studio photos of them

Today I did my first attempt at stacking the beagle babies (4.5 weeks old).
This (for those not in the show world) gives us the ability to be able to see the structure of each puppy – how their forechest and angles look, their topline and head shape. We will do this over the coming weeks and try and figure out which puppy/s will stay and grow up here at Kazuri, and which will go to their new forever companion home.
Stacking is new and confusing for them and I do it gently and keep it fun as i want the babies to think its a game to stand still. I am learning myself, so these are not perfect by any means.

I travelled to NZ last week so the babies spent the week with a friend of mine. While I was away, they grew so much. They found their voice! They have little growls and howls.
They started solids this week and they love it so much. And they are walking with confidence, and playing together.
Enjoy this week’s photos <3

Now that the beagle babies are getting bigger, they have moved to a day pen so they can hang out. we have started potty training using “yesterdays news” cat litter and dinnertime is eagerly awaited. They are growing up!!
The beagle puppies have turned 2 weeks old and they are growing so fast. They all have their eyes open and are starting to try and walk around – some are having more success than others are some are lighter than others. 🙂 haha.
we are loving them so much and they get regular snuggles and kisses. This week we will start puppy mush sometime and start to give Maddy some relief from being the solo feeder of them. She is doing an amazing job, but they are hungry little babies.
Nemo – 2lb 1.8oz
Rueben – 1lb 13.2oz
Pebble – 2 lb 0.09oz
River – 2lb 6.9oz
Lulu – 1lb 12.9oz
Gabriel – 2lb 8.2oz
The puppies are 1 week old and of course being a professional photographer by trade, I couldn’t help myself but take them into my studio for a quick shoot. My daughter helped and in 20 mins we were all done – warm air was our best friend for sleepy puppies 🙂
Enjoy xo

The beagle puppies are thriving under Maddy’s tender loving care. Her milk came in fast and not one lost any weight.
They all lined up tonight at the edge of the crate and I couldn’t resist taking a couple of photos.
<3 how can you not be in love??
Laila, Arrow’s daughter is here for a quick visit while her puppy parents are on vacation. we love having pups come to stay – it is so neat to see them grow up. They just become part of the pack while they are here.

Maddy and Ajs puppies were born safe and sound yesterday – we couldn’t be happier with how it went and everyone is already putting on weight and thriving.
Our kids have already given them fun names for while they are here in our home so you can see those below. More pictures of the beagle babies to come of course. xox

Maddy’s temp dropped on Monday evening so we knew it was just a matter of time before her babies would be making an appearance. She was calm and sleepy and certainly made the most of her final days of beauty sleep.
The morning of her labor, I had gotten up several times to check on her in the night. While she didn’t want me to leave her alone, she also wasn’t ready for birth so I went back to bed.
In the morning, she decided the couch was where she wanted to have her babies. We had other ideas of course. Around 7am her water sack appeared and she promptly popped it. So, Brianna took her on a few walks around the yard and we waited for the signs of the first baby to appear.
At 8:50am our first baby was born – uneventfully. 🙂 A big bonny boy. 10.1 oz with a full white face and big wide blaze. i was officially in love and excited to see the litter if this was any indication.
Baby #2 came at 10:15. Another boy. 9.7oz – this one with a little J shape on his neck.
Boy #3 came at 10:47. He was 9.6oz and had a little spot in the middle of his neck.
Boy #4 arrived with a lot of noise. He was born feet first and at a whopping 11.7oz with loads of white.
Our next puppy was a GIRL – we had almost resigned ourselves to a full litter of boys so she was a fun surprise. A petite 9.5oz
And our final baby was a final baby boy – 11.6oz (again feet first).
Then Maddy went into rest mode. I thought there might be another one to come, so I made sure with an xray at the vet, but it showed we were all done. so we brought her home to enjoy her babies.
Boy oh boy, Maddy and AJ did good <3
