Pudding’s babies are all thriving and growing like little weeds. They are all opening their eyes and toddling around the whelping pen. I can’t wait for the coming days/weeks as their personalities start to emerge.
Enjoy the latest pictures of these precious little ones.

Thank you for all the interest in these pups. At this stage no pet pups are available from this litter.
We are totally smitten with these 8 little loves. Pudding is a wonderful and attentive mother. Her milk has been slow to come in and so I have been giving her a helping hand with feeding. While I am tired, I am grateful everyone is doing well and enjoying my extra cuddles when I give each one a feed 🙂
I decided, because they were born on the opening day of the Olympics 2020, that i would name them after some of my favorite athletes from both the past and present. Obviously I had thousands to choose from, but i chose a few that stood out for one reason or another.
So, without further ado, here are our Olympians 🙂
Girl 1 – now Faith. I named her after 1500m runner from Kenya, Faith Chepngetich Kipyegon who won in 2016 in Rio. I loved her determination, and her unending joy as she ran. This tiny girl (we often call her “mighty mouse”) struggled for a few days and we thought we might lose her. I prayed a lot, so Faith seemed fitting on many levels.
Boy 1 – now Todd, after Mark Todd from NZ. As a little girl i loved horses and rose whenever I could. In 1984 and 1988, with the beautiful Charisma, Mark won Gold in individual evening, and a bronze in the team event. For years, any bay horse I rode, I imagined was Charisma. So, Todd is a nod to their amazing success.
Girl 2 – now Bronte – after the Bronte Campbell from Australia. What I love the most about Bronte is the fact that she and her sister Cate both compete and swim together. The have attended several Olympics together and I just love to watch their comradery and friendship, as well as them being champions at their sport (swimming).
Girl 3 – now Suni – after Suni Lee. I love gymnastics – these men and women are the epitome of power under control. Watching Suni Lee win the all-around was so incredible this week – she stepped up to the plate when Simone could no longer compete and I thought that was marvelous.
Girl 4 – now Naomi – after Naomi Osaka. Naomi dominates in tennis – she is ranked No. 1 by the Women’s Tennis Association and is the first Asian player to hold the top ranking in singles. What a way to represent both Japan and Haiti which are the two nationalities of her birthright. I loved watching her be the final torch bearer at the opening ceremony – what an honor indeed.
Boy 2 – now Bolt – after Usain Bolt. I will admit that track and field is not my #1 favorite thing to watch at the Olympics. But I always turned in to watch Usain run. He made it look so effortless and was always SO proud of representing Jamaica (as he should be). What a remarkable career to get gold medals in 2008, 2012 and 2016.
Boy 3 – Jagger – after Jagger Eaton. For those who don’t know, skateboarding made a debut at the Olympics this year. I know because my son skates and we have enjoyed many hours watching the guys compete. While Jagger didn’t get gold (he got bronze), I will admit that I loved his name as much as anything else.
Girl 5 – now Tiina – after Ilse Kristiina Lillak was the 1984 Olympic silver medalist in javelin throwing, from Finland. She broke several world records over her career, and I just thought that was pretty incredible.
I hope you enjoyed the latest photos of them. Please note that these puppies are not available as pets at this time. Thank you for understanding.
Pending AKC approval, Kazuri has beagle CH #5 for 2021
Violet – CH Kazuri’s Keeping Up Appearances. <3
Violet is the daughter of Mia (CH Foxtail’s Need For Speed TKN) and Riker (GCH CH Starbuck & Manabay Boldly Go Fourth, BCAT, ORT, L1V, NW1) and finished at the Houston World of Series Dog Shows with 3 majors. She is now going to retire for a little bit until it’s her time to have babies.
We are so proud of this sweet and sassy little girl. She has gone to live with Riker’s mom Rebecca Dodson, who runs BodlyGoSports – she trains and competes in agility, dock diving, nose work and more. Violet is going to be very happy.
With Pud’s babies being a day old, I decided to take a few nicer pictures with my proper camera. During a quick bathroom break for Puddin, I quickly took a few snapshots. These are def not my best work, but at least you can see them all. The babies are all doing well. Overnight they lost a little weight, but thats pretty common as mama’s milk comes in. I will support them and monitor them all carefully but I am pleased with how glossy they all are.
So, here they are: I still haven’t quite decided on a litter there so names undecided. 🙂 Bear with me. 🙂

Sir (also known as “King Louie” to his family) garnered all his singles this weekend. Now just need to find him some majors to finish his CH title.
Official win photos to come so a candid from the showgrounds will have to do.
On Friday, at the Puyallup Valley Kennel Club, Kazuri’s To Sir With Love went Winners Dog/Best of Winners under judge Mr. Nathaniel Horn.
Sir went Winners Dog/Best of Winners/Best of Opp over a special on Saturday under judge Mr. Bryan Martin.
He went Winners Dog on Sunday under judge Mr. Luis F. Sosa.
He went Winners Dog again on Sunday under judge Mrs. Patti Wadick Neale.
Sir is out of our homebred champion “Emmy” (CH Kazuri’s Dreaming of an Emmy) and “Ben” (BIS/BISS CH Kahootz Chase Manhatten).
Sir is MLS/F7/NCCD/CAT clear and black tri dominant.
Thank you to the judges who found my “Covid baby” this weekend and congratulations to all the other winners. Thank you also to Tammie Wilcox for showing Sir this weekend. I always appreciate her so much. I had a crazy weekend with other commitments, so appreciated her support.
This is the final week of the cavalier and beagle pups being together. Fergie (now known as Penelope) has already gone to her new home, and the other cavaliers will be heading to their new homes on Saturday after their ophthalmologist check. **For those who don’t know, I send my cavalier pups home with a cardiologist heart check, an ophthalmologist eye check and a vet check from my regular vet.
The pups are all happy and healthy – I couldn’t be more pleased. I have just loved raising them and being their first mama.
Due to no fault of their own, we have 2 beagle girls available. I am working through my waitlist to find the perfect fit for both. I am hoping to find a “guardian home” for Miss Shiloh (if you want to know more about that click here: Guardian home for “shiloh” | Kazuri (kazuribeagles.com)) and a pet family for Bagel.
Beau was my pick boy from my Madison x Buddy litter. I tried hard not to fall in love with him but I couldnt help myself.
We were doing a major home re-model and had to move out and so Mike and Karen said that many of our pack members could live with them for a few months. As soon as it was done, I drove down to California to pick them all up.
Beau is as sweet at 11 months as he was at 12 weeks when I dropped him off. I am excited to have some shows open up in WA so I can show him.
Introducing Beau – Kazuri’s All I Need Is Love and Cake.
The Christmas magic continues for us in North Carolina today as at the Mid-Atlantic Hound Association of Central North Carolina, Nick (MBIS GCHB Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas) went Best of Variety and Best In Group under judge Mr Neil T. McDevitt.
In a lineup of beautiful beagles and then some of the top hounds in the USA, we were so honored Nick was found amongst them.
Congratulations to all the other winners today!
This photo includes Jon Woodring, Carol Herr, Mike Kurtzner and Cassie Miller. Nick wouldn’t be here without their amazing kennels and hard work in the great dogs that are behind him and for that I will be eternally grateful. Of course, there are other kennels behind him too, but these are the ones in the photo. Nick is the 3rd in line of “Truman” (BIS BISS Lanbur Quest For The Best) and his kids/grandkids to have won here at MAHA.
Nick is now MBIS BISS GCHB Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas. <3
Our beagle puppies are 3 weeks old. We started them on some solid food this week and they LOVED it. While they are still enjoying the ‘well fed” life of mostly eating and sleeping, they are happy to sausage their way to the little bowls and eat a little ground beef mixed with some goats milk 🙂
This week we also gave them a potty box and I am pleased to say that they are starting to use it. Mama Allie is now enjoying nights off by herself and the babies are one step closer to a little independence.
I love my daily cuddles with them – they are so incredibly sweet.
Enjoy the latest pictures of them. They had just eaten and were ready for a nap. 🙂
*please note that none of these pups are available at this time*
