Snow Day with Beagles and Cavaliers

February 7, 2017 sarah.sweetman@outlook.com

As much as I love being a breeder of beagles and cavaliers, first and foremost, our dogs are our family members and pets. They sleep on our couches and in our home and we don’t have any “kennel” that they stay in.
This week our home in Woodinville, Seattle experienced snow. It doesn’t happen very often and so when it does, we all get out and enjoy it. The dogs were no exception running and playing and having a blast. Even Arrow, who is a week and a half away from puppies, got out there and played with us all.
So much fun indeed 🙂

Dog heaven ~ AKC beagles and Cavaliers Woodinville Seattle WA

January 26, 2017 sarah.sweetman@outlook.com

Life is good in the crisp cool weather here in Woodinville Seattle. The beagles and cavaliers are enjoying walks and snoozing on the coach. We are puppy sitting our friend’s pug Oscar for a few days – he is just one of the gang 🙂

Cavalier puppies are on the way ~ AKC Woodinville Seattle

January 18, 2017 sarah.sweetman@outlook.com 1 Comment

We are thrilled and proud to announce that Arrow is pregnant again to the handsome Dustin – CH Verheyen Dustin (imported from the UK). We chose Dustin as he comes from a long line of health tested dogs – not just hips/elbows and hearts, but also generations of clear MRI brain scans.

As you know, our aim is to breed dogs that are beautiful AND healthy and so Dustin was a clear choice as a match for Arrow while he is still in the USA. We are excited to see what might be hiding in this litter. (We are secretly hoping for a tri female but I guess time will tell). We saw 3 babies in a single ultrasound frame, so we are confident that we have at least 3 babies growing in there (se the picture below).

Babies are due mid Feb – at this stage we have a small waitlist of families waiting for these babies. Enquiries still welcome.

Sirius attends his first AKC dog show

January 14, 2017 sarah.sweetman@outlook.com

We co-own Sirius (Arrow’s son from her first litter) with Alisha from Lockestar Cavaliers. Alisha took him to his first official dog show this past weekend to play at the Puyallup Dog show. He made us proud and got some good ring experience.

Way to go Alisha and Sirius. 🙂

Introducing Mia and Truman’s puppies

December 24, 2016 sarah.sweetman@outlook.com

We are so proud to announce that Mia and Truman are parents to 4 healthy tri babies – two boys and two girls. Born Christmas Eve – so the babies have Christmas nicknames. Kris, Rue (aka Rudolf), Eve and Dancer.

Unfortunately, one of the puppies got stuck and so Mia ended up with a C-section, but she is recovering well and all the puppies are healthy and strong.

These sweet babies are being raised with co-breeders Mike and Karen Kurtzner in California. I get to watch them grow from afar this time 🙂

Cavaliers are 10 weeks – and 2 are for sale

August 31, 2016 sarah.sweetman@outlook.com 4 Comments

Well, the day had to come *sniff sniff* when we had to make decisions on who we grow up. Right now, it looks like we will raise Sirius up and see if he has potential as our next show dog.

That means that “Teddy” and “Albus” are ready for their forever homes. We haven’t advertised them as we wanted to watch them grow first.

Teddy is full of fun – he is bold and goofy. We believe he will be a perfect companion for a family with children or even someone who wanted to dabble in agility as he will be up for anything.

10 weeks-14 10 weeks-15 10 weeks-11

Albus is sweet and gentle – he is a true lap dog and loves nothing more than to be with you all the time. He will make someone a perfect companion.

10 weeks-2 10 weeks-7 10 weeks-8

If you are interested in either of these precious dogs, we would love to talk to you.

Both parents have been extensively health checked and are clear for hearts, eyes, hips, patellas and both parents were MRI scanned revealing no CM or SM.

These puppies will be sold as companions for $2000 (US) on a neuter contract. They have been raised in our home with kids and other dogs. They have been vet checked, de-wormed, first shots and micro-chipped. They are ready to go to their forever home anytime.

Cavalier puppies turn 9 weeks ~ AKC Woodinville Seattle

August 24, 2016 sarah.sweetman@outlook.com

These not so little cavaliers have stolen our hearts – they are so friendly and sweet with a healthy dose of puppy mixed in. It is hard to believe that they are almost ready to go to their forever homes soon.

We call them little oreos this week – we have been binding their tummies to try and encourage their belly button hernias to close. While not a problem, cosmetically it would be nice to have them closed up. 🙂

Cavalier puppies turn 8 weeks ~ AKC Woodinville Seattle

August 17, 2016 sarah.sweetman@outlook.com

The cavalier puppies are 8 weeks so it is time for evaluations – to get a better idea we took headshots, side profiles and stacked pictures (both wet and dry) to see toplines and angles.

We are very pleased with all 3 boys. we have our eye on which one we might grow up for a few months as a show hopeful. We actually hope more than one will end up in a show home.

Next evaluation will be done in 2 weeks time at 10 weeks. Which one do you like best? 🙂

Cavalier King Charles puppies turn 5 weeks ~ AKC Woodinville Seattle WA

July 27, 2016 sarah.sweetman@outlook.com

Our cavalier king charles puppies are growing like weeds – they are now 5 weeks old so very mobile and starting to get into mischief. They are eating solids although not in any kind of rush to wean off momma Arrow.

Teddy has the biggest personalty – he is an explorer and loves nothing more than to tussle and growl. Sirius is a snuggler and a little bit of a mommas boy – he is our gentle giant. Albus is our observer taking it all in before getting in on the action. He got a cold last week which was a little scary but is doing great again – thank Heavens!

This week we will take them outdoors for some time on the grass – it will be fun to see them explore somewhere new and gather some different sensory experiences. we will also set up the play space now that they are interacting with their environment more.
