“Happy girls are the prettiest”

Which must mean Bubbles is the prettiest beagle that ever there was, she’s always smiling!

Lydia and Penny did a thing on Saturday! They’ve been showing together so well, but this weekend was the first time Penny actually took home some points, Lydia was so surprised it was super cute to see her face when the judge called her out from the line up as Best of Winners! It’s so much fun watching them together, going through the wins and losses together. EKC wasn’t just a big win in terms of points won, but it really boosted Lydia’s confidence as a handler as well!

It was a good day today, EKC with these these cuties! Penny was the only dog we brought along, thanks Suzanne for letting the little girls use Toast the mini Daschund for Juniors :)

Penny and Bubbles are soaking up the summer vibes in their favorite shady spot. They’re not in a rush to go anywhere—just enjoying the breeze, the smells, and each other.

One of the things I love most about Beagles is how well they roll with the seasons. Rain, snow, heat—doesn’t matter. They’re up for it all. But give them a patch of cool grass or a splash in the kiddie pool, and they’re just as happy to chill.

This is Flora. She looks adorable here, but what you can’t see (mercifully) is the smell. She had just finished proudly rolling in a fresh pile of cow manure, then flopped down like the innocent little flower she is.

So… why do they do this?

Believe it or not, rolling in stinky stuff is totally natural for dogs — especially hounds like beagles. It’s thought to be an inherited instinct from their wild ancestors. Some theories suggest it was a way to mask their scent while hunting, while others believe it helped them carry info back to the pack: “Look what I found!” Either way, they’re not doing it to be naughty. To them, it’s just really… interesting.

As for me? I’ll never fully understand it, but I’ve learned to keep the shampoo stocked, the hose ready, and a sense of humor close by.

Flora, next time just roll in the grass. Please.

I’m out in BC right now with the kids, we had a family camp to come out for and it’s been a wonderful retreat. My kids were a little disappointed I didn’t consent to taking the beagles with, but they forgot we get to hang out with one while we are here!

Winston, previously Chase from our Paw Patrol litter went to live with my Mom, and the kids are having so much fun with him. He’s grown into such a nice dog, and it’s been so neat to see how he took certain attributes from each one of his parents (Luna and Diego). Getting time to spend with the puppies as grown up dogs is so special, it’s so validating as breeder to see all the hard work and planning not only when it comes to puppies, but the lifetime effect that has on the dog as they age.

Beagles were never meant to go it alone. From the very beginning, they were bred to work in packs — not just for efficiency on the trail, but for harmony at home.

That pack instinct still lives strong in modern beagles. They’re naturally social, playful, and deeply bonded to their people (and each other). Whether they’re sniffing side by side or sunbathing in tandem, they thrive on togetherness.

This doesn’t mean every beagle needs a canine sibling — but it does mean they need companionship. A bored or lonely beagle is a beagle in trouble: howling, digging, escaping, or inventing creative chaos just to stay busy.

If you understand that need for connection — and you’re willing to give your beagle a role in your daily life — you’ll be rewarded with a merry, loving, and endlessly entertaining companion.

📸 These two? Never far apart. Always up to something.

In case you’ve ever wondered what a perfect summer day looks like….

If you’ve ever seen a beagle disappear into tall grass or underbrush, you’ll understand exactly why this white tipped tails matters.

That bright white tip at the end of a beagle’s tail isn’t just a cute detail — it’s a functional part of the breed’s history as a scent hound. Beagles were bred to work in thick cover, nose to the ground and minds on the scent. When they’re tracking, they often vanish from view… except for that white-tipped tail waving like a little flag above the grass.

Hunters could watch the tails bobbing through the brush and keep track of their dogs without interrupting the chase. It’s one of those beautiful examples of form following function — and it’s why the breed standard still calls for a tail “carried gaily” with a clearly visible white tip.

These days, my beagles aren’t flushing rabbits out of hedgerows — but they do love a good sniff through the field, and I still find myself scanning the grass for those waving tails. Some things never change.

📸 Taken today on one of their favourite adventures — tails up, noses down, hearts happy.

I’m not one for big crowds or loud fireworks — and neither are the dogs — but I do love what Canada Day stands for.

I’m grateful to live in a country where I can raise dogs the right way: with care, purpose, and the freedom to do things slowly and thoughtfully. I have access to health testing, a strong network of mentors and fellow breeders, and families who value well-bred, well-raised companions. That’s not something I take for granted.

Today, we’re keeping things simple. A small-town celebration during the day, then home for a potluck and bonfire with friends — dogs included, of course. There will be wagging tails, sticky fingers, and probably at least one beagle sneaking food when no one’s watching.

It’s a quiet kind of gratitude, but it runs deep. Happy Canada Day, from my little pack to yours.

How are you celebrating today?

Not just pretty faces, these girls have hearts of gold and merry little souls.

Telfords Life of the Party (Bubbles)
&
Telfords That’s a Keeper at Rosabel (Penny)

So grateful for Suzanne Telford’s ongoing mentorship and friendship—and deeply honoured that she’s entrusted me with these special little girls. I can’t take the credit for them; they’re the product of a lifetime of dedication, care, and an unwavering commitment to improving the breed. What a privilege it is to carry that legacy forward.

We haven’t had puppies for almost two years, and no litters currently on the way, if you’re looking for a puppy I cannot recommend Telford’s Beagles enough. www.telfordbeagles.com

Why would I buy a show quality puppy if I just want a pet?”

I get this question a lot — and I completely understand. You’re looking for a friendly, loving beagle to join your family, not a dog to win ribbons. So why not just grab that cute pup on Kijiji or from the local ad?

The thing is, when I breed, I’m not just thinking about who’s going to win in the ring — I’m thinking about who’s going to thrive in someone’s home for the next 12 to 15 years. That starts with sound structure, good temperament, and a strong foundation of health. I invest in health testing not because it’s trendy, but because I want to do everything in my power to reduce the chances of painful or expensive health problems down the road. I know the lines behind my dogs. I’ve lived with them, raised their puppies, and watched how they age.

Even the puppies in a show litter that aren’t kept for the ring are still bred with intention — they’re built right, have stable, social temperaments, and come from dogs who’ve proven themselves not just in appearance, but in soundness and longevity. Those things matter for family dogs too. Structure isn’t just about looks; a well-put-together dog is less likely to suffer from joint pain, injuries, or early breakdown as they age.

There’s also the raising. Puppies here are born and raised in my home, right in the middle of daily life. They’re exposed to people, sounds, experiences, and handling from day one. That kind of early foundation plays a huge role in shaping a confident, well-adjusted adult dog. You don’t always know what kind of start you’re getting when you choose a pup based only on a photo and a price.

And perhaps most importantly — I don’t disappear the day you take your puppy home. I’m here for the long haul. Whether it’s a question about training, health, or just sharing updates, I’m part of the journey. That’s not something you usually get when you buy from someone who just had a litter to make some money or “accidentally” bred their dog.

I’m not accepting applications until I successfully have another litter, that could be 3 months, it could be 3 years, but until then, I’m always happy to recommend other breeders who share my values and put the same care and thought into their programs. Every beagle deserves to be bred right, raised right, and loved for life — and every family deserves that kind of start, too.
