Rosabel Beagles

02/23/2025

So unfortunately once again, we are not expecting puppies. It’s a little heartbreaking, but it’s not super uncommon, especially since I was trying to breed a maiden female and untried male. We will try again in the fall when Flora comes into heat again.

If you’re looking for puppies I can recommend a few really good breeders to contact, feel free to reach out.

Came across these memories from 2 summers ago! This show was so special for so many reasons. The Canadian Beagle Club, and Western Beagle Club of Canada held back to back specialties at the AKC held at Spruce Meadows. It was neat to be able to bring my girls back to a place that was near and dear to my heart, I spent a lot of time at Spruce Meadows growing up, I would never in a thousand years thought I would ever compete there (even though it was a totally different sport, lol).

The best memories definitely were Lydia and Diego winning Best Opposite at the All Breed show, and Hero winning Winners Dog at the Specialty .

The Beagle Club of Western Canada is currently fundraising for the speciality being held this year, right here in Edmonton! If you want to see all the best beagles in Canada, and really get a chance to meet all the fantastic breeders and fanciers of the breed, this is the place to be, mark your calendars for May 31 and June 1. All information on how to win some fabulous prizes are the last photo in this post :)

The weather has finally warmed, it was so fast, -26 yesterday, today it’s above 0! We were all ready to spend the afternoon outside, and Penny thought it would be a good day to model for me.

Not beagle related, but I was looking back on my photos and came across Barry’s baby photo ☺️ He was so little! Look at him now, he just turned 2 and is nearly 175lb and the gentlest of giants.

Kisses for everyone!

Even in this cold, the beagles love the opportunity to take a run through the snow. I have to limit their physical activity to 30-45 minutes, but they would stay out longer if I let them!

Unfortunately Epilepsy is something that affects a lot of Beagles, but they still don’t know a lot about it! It’s one of those diseases we can only know more about, by collecting information from dog owners and breeders when they have dogs that are affected. If you want to help us learn more about epilepsy in Beagles and have a dog that fits into one of these two categories, please consider signing up for this study.

Help us advance epilepsy research in dogs!

We're looking for more samples for our five-breed epilepsy project, and this week we are focusing on BEAGLES.

If your Beagle meets the criteria, please get in touch!

My kids are so good at making me work hard for decent photos 😂 Got so many good photo bombs last week from Lydia ….

4 years in and we are still doing Loop, these guys know exactly what day it is and are always so nosy about all the boxes coming and going. They think they are super helpful with eating all the food :) They can find the tiniest tidbit of doggy approved treats buried in produce boxes.

Loop has been an amazing program from our small farm. It’s a program that connects grocery stores and farmers. Instead of throwing away expired or unwanted food, farmers get to pick it up daily and use the feed to supplement their animal feed. It has been such a blessing, and we’ve been able to feed our dogs a raw food diet for 4-5 days a week with the meat we get from this program. We’re also able to supplement things like yogurt and veggies into their diet as well. We don’t have as many animals as we once had, so we share our load with another farm. Friday is our loop day, and the beagles love to have their noses in everything!

She looks so guilty ….

These girls are glamming right up! Penny is 10 months old, and Bubbles is 8 months old. They are both fat and fluffy at the moment, regular grooming and diets are not something we worry to much about in the wintertime. Both girls are exactly the same height, Bubbles will probably grow a little taller, but Penny is probably as tall as she is going to get. I haven’t actually measure them, but Penny is the smallest beagle I’ve had so far. I’m going to make it a priority to figure out exactly what that height is :)

Penny is the sweetest, most affectionate Beagle we have. If she could climb inside your skin she would, she loves people and being everywhere they are. She’s such a trouble maker though! She instigates all the trouble amongst the other beagles, and she’s nearly impossible to contain. She has climbed out of a 6ft high kennel and x-pens are a piece of cake for her. It’s a good thing she escapes to find her people and not go adventuring :)

Bubbles is a little more independent than Penny, I’m not even sure she knows her name, she’s pretty sure it’s “Baby”, because that’s the only thing she gets, though she isn’t really the baby anymore. She will do anything for a piece of bacon, but turns her nose up at most other treats. She is not an escape artist at all, and is rather happy to let Penny get into all kinds of trouble, and pretend like she wasn’t part of it.

I’m really happy with how both girls are maturing. There are different things that I like on each. Bubbles has a great front and rear assembly, and Penny has such a pretty head.

The Beagle Club of Canada is just starting a regular newsletter, and it’s a great way to connect, and learn about beagles and other enthusiasts is Canada. Samantha did a great job putting the newsletter together, and if you would like to read it, or join the mailing list the link is here : https://www.beagleclubofcanada.com/so/8aPIK5LzE?languageTag=en&fbclid=IwY2xjawH_2uBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHXYG3L0-35m58YiKP8RgaA1uq8RTtXSiJMZkJ42mIyLECazL4BWmal_I7w_aem_WgfrkmG3zt-hfeI_eFrlfw

It’s been a long time since I had an updated stacked photo of Flora. Even all fluffy in her winter coat she’s so pretty. ❤️ She is 30 days post breeding here, still not sure if we are expecting puppies yet. But in the next 2 weeks or so it should become pretty apparent.

I love this frosty face so much ❤️

He’s by far my most serious beagle, and gets into so much less trouble than the girls 😉

They all think I take way too long to get ready to come outside and play with them … :)

Penny is now 9 months old. Pretty happy with how she’s maturing! Fingers crossed she stays little, Bubbles is the same size as she is now. I might have a 13”!

This time of year is always a little slow for us on social media. It just seems right to take the time away from posting, and concentrate on the immediate. Show season has slowed right down, we have no puppies, and there’s just a little more thought and effort put into getting daily life happening with snow and cold, and homeschooling children. It’s the time to concentrate on the things and people we are truely grateful for, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the 7 human children, and 5 four legged friends we have.

As a family we have been building a new home for the past 2 years. December 2nd we officially moved in!! It has been such a huge relief to finally be out of the old 1936 farmhouse, and into our much more modern, many more bathrooms home. Thankfully we we are still on the same property so we only had the interior of the home to move, but that was a big job and I’m so glad to be settled for Christmas.

Do you know whose cute little nose this is? :)

Fingers are crossed that our plans to have a February litter still come about. Flora is taking her sweet time coming into heat, but it will come, and I cannot wait to share the news when it happens. Besides a February litter, we would plan to have a late fall litter as well, but will have to see how things go.

Flora, Hero, Penny, and Bubbles had their DNA testing and Lafora testing sent away before the mail strike thankfully, and I just received the results. It’s as expected, clean and normal! I’m happy to share the links if anyone wants to take a look at those :)
