Ivy and Beau welcome their beagle puppies into the world

Leave a comment

Ivy had her xray on Wednesday and we saw 6 puppies. While she was officially due on Monday/Tuesday, I had a weird feeling she might surprise us a little early. My gut was right and she was restless all night on Saturday night and panted/shivered all day Sunday as she moved through stage 1. We were with her most of the time, and when we gave her space to rest and labor, we had our ring cameras on her.

Around 5pm I felt that she was stretching more than I was comfortable her being alone for. So i joined her in her whelping room. I took her for a walk in the garden and she pushed out her water bag (some people call it the mucous plug). I swear she wanted to give birth outside – so I convinced her to come back inside.

Around 6pm she started hard pushing and by 6:05 the first baby had arrived. A boy – 9.6oz

The next baby came about 15 mins later – our first girl – 9.25oz

Baby number 3 came just after 7 – another boy 10.9oz

Ivy decided to take a little break and rest up. She waited over an hour before she started pushing again and had baby #4 – another boy at 8:25 at 10.05oz

Continuing this new trend, baby #5 was born at 9:21 – another girl 8.6oz

Baby #6 made her appearance at 10:14 – weighing in at 8.6oz- a girl to make it a perfect 50/50 boy girl split. A welcome discovery after many many boy heavy litters.

Miss Ivy settled in and we cleaned all the suction bulbs and bedding, sanitized our hemostats etc.

About 11pm I noticed Ivy wasnt really settling and was doing small pushes. By 11:15 the pushes became more serious and I gloved up. Lo and Behold we had a bonus baby at 11:23pm – another girl – what a miracle.

Ivy is an incredible mama already and loves her baby. I am so so grateful for so many girls to choose from. Well done Ivy and Beau <3

Cleo and Dutch welcome 5 beautiful beagle puppies into the world

Leave a comment

Miss Cleo, right on time, started showing signs of early labor on Monday afternoon. Digging in her blankets, being generally uncomfortable and panting/shivering on and off. We try to give our girls space, and so I have a camera on them that I can watch from the next room. I see all kinds of things like them burying themselves in blankets, or looking at the camera, or sitting panting.

At 1:15am I felt things were getting close and so I went and lay down beside her on the bed we have in the whelping room. Sure enough by 1:45 she was pushing with intention and at 1:53 we had our first baby born – a boy 9.65oz

Baby #2 was born at 2:38am – a girl who was 10.35oz

Baby #3 was born at 2:48am – another girl – this one 9.4oz

Baby #4 was born at 3:29 – another boy – he was 10.35oz

Our final baby arrived at 3:38am – a 9.3oz boy.

Cleo did so well and settled right into motherhood nursing them and cleaning them wonderfully. All of the pups are strong and healthy and mama is doing awesome. I am so happy.

We are so thrilled to have co-bred this litter with Malia from Wanderlust beagles as she steps into her new role as a “breeder” of her first litter. I am grateful for the opportunity to mentor new breeders and then watch them fly into their own <3

Incredible weekend at Albany OR

I am going to do two posts about this weekend.

Can I just say that going to shows and sharing them with friends makes it so so amazing! Community over competition is my favorite saying and I will stick by it – having friends to cheer on and cheer you on makes it all the sweeter.

Okay – where to begin? Some of these dogs we don’t have photos for (yet). I am just going to say a huge THANK YOU to judges Ms Pam Ramey Lambie, Mr Ron Lukins , Mr David Kirkland , Mrs Ainslie Mills and Mrs Betsy Horn Humer for these amazing wins.

Savannah (GCHB Kazuri’s Gonna Be Peachy) went BOSV and then 2x BOV, with a OHG2 to top it off to finish her Bronze GCH and her OG Bronze titles. She is always shown (and very loved) by Malia Throop.

Murphy (RBIS GCHB Kazuri’s Everything’s Gonna Be Alright) went BOV on Firday under Ms Pamela Lambie.

Gypsy (Joyful Noise N Kazuri Just Lace and Paper Flowers) went WB/BOW/Best Opp for her final major and pending AKC is a new Champion shown by the lovely Cheyenne Calvert

Pickles (Kazuri’s Gonna Be a Big Dill) went WB/Best Opp for her 2nd major towards her CH title shown by Jr handler Peter Tae Meziere

Basil (Joyful Noise It Takes More than Fancy Flying) went WB/Best Opp for a major towards her CH title shown by breeder/owner Dolly Metzger-Stearns

Malibu (Kazuri’s Blue Skies over Malibu) went WD/BOW on both days he showed, to gain 2 more majors towards his championship – he just needs a couple of singles to finish after only a couple of weekends in the ring

Callie (GCHB Kazuri’s Everything’s Sugar N Spice BCAT ATT) played in the Juniors and breed ring with her friend Savannah and I loved watching them work more and more as a team together

Lyric went Bpup HoundG1/Bpup BIS her 2nd time in the ring with Dolly!

We had so much fun as a community – one of our RV neighbors even made a point to come over to say how lovely it was to watch the friendship and support and hear the laughter from our spot. That made me just as proud as the wins. Thats what it’s all about. ❤

Shout out to my wonderful husband

Not everyone has a supportive spouse and I don’t take for granted that my hubby works his busy FT job and then assists me in all kinds of ways with my dogs and puppies.

So these photos were taken when I did puppy pictures the other day and i wanted to share them – you can see the puppies are just as in love with him as they are with me.

Thank you Steve for being the best “behind the scenes” partner I could ever have.

Violet and Denver’s puppies are 4 weeks old

It has 4 weeks since these beautiful beagle puppies were born and they are confident on their feet. Today I decided, since it was sunny outside, that I would attempt to take photos of them outside.

They were very busy sniffing and walking around so the photos arent the best, but you can see they are growing.

and yes, I did trim nails right after this 🙂 LOL.

Enjoy

Boy 1: (large black dot on neck) EROS

Boy 2: (White dots on back) VALENTINO

Boy 3: (lightning bolt on butt) CUPID

Girl 1: (white marks) VENUS

Girl 2: (tan points) AMORE

Summertime playtime with the big dogs and the beagle puppies

I always say there is no place that is more beautiful than the Pacific Northwest in the Summertime. The dogs love having outside time and the puppies love playing with them (supervised of course). Enjoy these photos of some of our adult cavaliers, adult beagles, our golden Shirley and the beagle puppies.

Spring Sunshine and first adventure outside

The PNW is so pretty in the Spring with all the blossoms falling and the vibrant colors everywhere.

The cavalier puppies are now confident enough on their feet that I felt like they could have an adventure to explore outside (supervised of course) in the warm sun. It was about 65 degrees this morning and so they spent about 20 mins exploring
