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 🙂
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 🙂
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.
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. 🙂
Brrrrrr ~ Woodinville Seattle isn’t usually super cold, but weeks of blow freezing temperatures has meant that the lake we live on has frozen. We have been enjoying walking on the ice (yes I promise we drilled holes to make sure it was thick and safe to do so).
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.
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.
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.
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. 🙂

This weeks, Arrow’s co-owner Alisha, from Lockestar Cavaliers came over to look the boys over. So far she (and I) are very excited about how these boys are turning out. Whether they end up in the show ring or as a family pet, they will be beautiful dogs.
We took them outside for a play – here are some of the highlights.

I apologize for not posting any 2 week pictures. We were away last week and so I was not able to do them.
The babies are growing growing – they are starting to get mobile and explore the puppy pen. Their current weights are:
Teddy – 1 lb 8.6oz
Albus – 1 lb 7.0oz
Sirius – 1 lb 8.4oz
Enjoy their adorableness 🙂
