I am so proud of miss Brinn – she lives with her mom and dad in Seattle and they agreed to let me show her. Her first show this year was indoors and she got frightened by some loud crashes and dogs barking – so much so that I pulled her from the ring as I didnt want her to associate fear with the ring. We held her and walked her around and by the end of the weekend she was in her groove.
We have shown her sporadically over the Summer and she garnered 4 majors – 2 of which were going BOS over several lovely specials for 5 and 4 point majors! It seemed when judges liked her, they really liked her.
Brinn will take time off now and will hopefully have a litter for Kazuri in 2025 – stay tuned for that announcement.
Daisy and Charity are wonderful mommas and are sharing the duties. Daisy has a little more milk than Charity but that makes sense since Chairty is feeding 5 and Daisy 4. Both girls love their babies and take good care of them.
1 week old and we needed to come up with a theme. So – i decided to go with “Yellowstone” which isn’t super original but has plenty of guy names to choose from.
We had a wonderful weekend at the Tacoma kennel club in the Seattle WA area.
Mr Morrison (Kazuri Everything Reminds Me of You – son of CH Tashwould DeJa Vu and Kazuri’s Everything’s coming Up Roses) won BOV for his 2nd major under judge Sylvie McGee. She also had him make the cut in the competitive Hound Group that afternoon.
Morrison is just a handful of points away from his CH now!
Meanwhile, in Indianna, Morrison’s sister DeeJay (Kazuri Do you Get DeJa Vu- daughter of CH Tashwould DeJa Vu and Kazuri’s Everything’s coming Up Roses outdid her brother by getting BOV and a Hound Group 3 with co-breeders and co-owners Mike and Karen
A friend of mine bought this adorable red snoopy house, and so of course, naturally, we had to take photos of the puppies playing in and around it. I just put it in my garden and watched them play in and around it – beagle puppies and snoopy – does it get any better than that??
The beagle puppies are growing – Mishka keeps them very well fed and content – they are starting to walk around and explore their baby pen and so this week will be experiencing mushy food for the first time and having toys in their pen to play with. We will also add a potty box this week as they are walking away from their sleeping area and going poop so i think it’s time.
Mishka and Murphy’s pups are getting rolly-ier and polly-ier (thats a real term I know). 🙂 HAHA. No eyes opening yet, but thats okay – I am sure it wont be long. They are strong and well fed – Mishka has been a super mom once again.
We love these sweet little boy – our Easter treats. They have all got amazing and loving homes to go to, and we couldnt be more thrilled to welcome new Kazuri families and get a repeat family take a second pup from us. <3
Enjoy their photos – i managed to wrangle individial ones as they were a little tired from being outside.
Last October, Chelsea and I were given the opportunity to send our young special, Tex, with longtime handlers Mike and Karen Kurtzner to begin a campaign in pursuit of letting him live up to his full potential.
In January, Tex and Mike took their first steps into the ring together and were awarded Best of Variety and a group placement that very weekend! In the months that passed, Tex quickly amassed some great BOV and Group placement wins, making him the #1 fifteen inch beagle in the nation for January and February.
Much to our delight, we also had the honor of exhibiting at this year’s Westminster Kennel Club dog show, to which Tex continued to make more dreams come true – winning Best of Opposite Sex at his very first Westminster.
Campaigning a dog is an incredible privilege and responsibility. It is something we feel incredibly blessed and grateful to experience and, when you have a dog you believe in as much as we do, you have to give them the opportunity to shine.
Campaigning a dog also comes with considerable costs – time, energy, travel, personal life and financial demands. While we had hoped to make the budget stretch until December, it has become obvious that this is not achievable for us at this time.
To this end, Mike, Karen, Chelsea and I talked openly and made the mutual decision that Tex would go to Westminster and then head back to the West Coast to live with me again. While we all felt sad, we also all felt this was the best decision given the parameters we had to work in.
Tex has touched down in California after a little stop with me in Seattle, and is doing great. Mike and Karen took incredible care of him, and he is in top condition, and will be shown by Chelsea as I can.
We are so incredibly proud of all that Tex has accomplished is such a short amount of time. All that would not have been possible without the hard work, dedication, sacrifice, and years of experience that Mike and Karen have poured into our dog. We are so blessed, proud of, and incredibly grateful for them.
They are bright and bold and doing so well – we love them so so much. This is probably the last time I will be able to take formal photos like this as they feel sitting still is much too boring and there is a whole world out there for them to find things.
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
