Faith!

Lanbur Keep the Faith

Since I am unable to ride horses until Scott is finished with his fellowship, I was looking for a hobby to keep me busy.  My friend Erica shows and breeds chocolate labs and I decided I wanted to do the same with Beagles.  Even though we have a beagle, Sydney, I don't know much about the breed other than they are great family pets.  I did some research online and looked for a breeder with puppies due this spring/summer.  This proved to be more difficult than I had imagined.  I found a great breeder in Florida, but her puppies due in May were all sold, then I found another top breeder who had 2 litters of puppies due in June.  I got on their wait list and then found out that BOTH were false pregnancies! That breeder recommended the breeder, Jon Woodring, that I finally got a show quality female from.  He was located in North Carolina, and she would be ready to go home in April.  Thankfully, my Mom decided to fly with me and Melanie watched Sophia for the day.  The trip went great and I was so happy to finally meet Faith after working so hard to find her!

It's been a long time since we have had a puppy (8 years to be exact!) and they are a ton of work, but I am so excited about showing this sweet puppy next year and then breeding her after that.
