Sarah and Nick are a new team for 2025

There is a new team on the horizon – Sarah and Nick’s (MBIS MBISS GCHP Kazuri’s All I Want For Christmas CGC TKN ATT BCAT)

Co-breeders/Co-owners Mike and Karen Kurtzner did a beautiful job training and conditioning this sweet boy and taking his to heights I can only dream of.

Because they have another girl Lolli that they are showing right now (and we are cheering for), Nick has come for a temporary vacation in Washington so I can show him. Mike and Karen have been so supportive and I am thankful as I know they miss him very much.

My goal for 2025/26 is to get him to his Double Platinum 🙂 It’s a lofty goal but we are up for the challenge.

I want to thank all of the judges who gave him Best In Show wins, Group placements and Specialty wins. ❤

Violet and Denver welcome 5 precious beagle puppies

Our first 2025 litter is so special and was born on Valentines day. <3 Can you believe it?

This is a litter co-bred by myself and Dolly from Joyful Noise beagles in Spokane WA. She was a true gem and whelped this litter which i anxiously awaited as we had a snow storm on the pass and it wouldn’t have been safe for me to get there. (and in hindsight I would have never made it in time).

Violet and Denver did so good and gave us 5 bonny babies – 2 girls and 3 boys. I will introduce them all properly in a bit.

For now, mommy and babies are doing awesome. We are so so thankful.

Nick and Callie

These photos were taken in the snow the other day, and cracked me up – they are actually great friends and get along very well.

in this moment, Callie was howling at Nick for having a ball that she wanted and he kept looking at me like “what is her problem mom?” LOL. And tenny puppy Glinda was like “Im staying out it” 😛

Did i ever tell you I love beagles? Life is just never dull with these merry little hounds around

Two Kazuri Beagles are Westminster Kennel Club in NYC!!

3 Comments

I couldn’t be more proud of these two boys who have both earned an invite to Westminster Kennel Club.

WKC is not the largest dog show in the USA, but holds a tradition of being one of the oldest dog shows in the USA having it’s first show debut on May 8, 1877. There is a certain pride breeders and handlers get from their dog placing at WKC.

An interesting fact is that the The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is one of a handful of benched shows in the United States. This means that all of the dogs are required to be on display at their assigned show benches during the entire show except for when they are shown in the ring, being groomed, or taken outside to potty. This type of display allows spectators and breeders alike to have an opportunity of seeing all the entered dogs, ask questions and put their hands on some of the best quality dogs in the country.

2025 we have a 15 inch dog and 13 inch dog going in beagles.

Kazuri Snow Day in the Pacific Northwest!!

I love the snow much more than the cold and wet we so often get in the PNW. The beagles and golden just love the snow too – its so sweet to watch them playing chase, finding sticks and just enjoying themselves out there.

I know it wont last long here in Seattle, so we will enjoy it while we can.

Enjoy the photos of them all – the 12 week old babies in the coats are Kiwi (blue-almost going to his new home) and Elphaba (colored) and Glinda (red).

I couldn’t be prouder of Tex and Chelsea and the start they have had to the 2025 show season. They are such a great team and I am cheering them on as they prepare to show at the prestigious Westminster Kennel club.

At the San Fernando Kennel Club they received Two NOHS Reserve Best in Shows and a regular hound Group 3rd. Thank you judges Shindle and Robinson… Be sure to scroll to the last to see Chelsea’s son Ronin’s adorable self in the last photo!

Harley and Victor’s beagle babies are 8 weeks old

How is this even possible? I guess for a while there it felt slow as little Glinda was so sick and fragile, but now the pups are running and jumping and playing like little crazy beans and almost ready to go home.

Due to the rain and bitter cold, we are still only doing small times outside, but I am thankful for their confidence and know they will adjust to pottying full time outside when it warms up.

We will do one final group shot of them, but otherwise enjoy these final photos of them together as 7 (actually 6 as it was cold out and Glinda cant handle it quite yet – bonus she has made it to 2.5lbs!!). Glinda will stay at Kazuri for a few more weeks as we monitor her and make sure she is healthy and strong.

Harley’s beagle babies are 7 weeks old

It has been raining and wet and so much of the puppy playtime has been indoors which is fine as we adore these little souls.

I decided to record today one of their play sessions – their little stair set, the cat tunnel, and the crab toy they like to chase – we use all of these things and more to help them be confident little puppies in their new homes. Whether in the ring or on a couch, I want each of my pups to have a solid foundation to be confident in the world.

Enjoy the photos I took of them today

Harley Quinn’s beagle puppies turn 6 weeks old

Harley’s sweet babies are 6 weeks and moved to their big dog area today. They have so much more space and multiple beds along with more toys to play with.

The weather was not too cold today and so we were able to take them outside for their first explore and they did so well. A little complaining but mostly exploring, eating leaves and wandering around sniffing things. I was so proud of their confidence.

These little munchkins are growing up before my eyes and I am so excited by the families who will take them and love them forever.

Enjoy their photos from this week – I did my favorite “blue chair” shots.

Girl #1 (more white) – Elphaba

Girl #2 (less white) – Glinda

Boy #1 (thin white collar) – Fiyaro

Boy #2 (thick white collar) – Oz

Boy #3 (two dots) – Pfannee

Boy #4 (one dot) – Boq

Christmas fun with the beagle puppies

It’s Christmas and so we couldn’t resist taking photos of the beagle puppies in some kind of Christmas prop.

Enjoy the photos of them – I promise we had spotters keeping them safe so no pup was in any danger at any time.
