About Archie
Archie is the most easy-going dogs I’ve ever known. He gets along with all other dogs, and has never been quarrelsome or anything but sweet and goofy. He shows a lot of promise on the lure coursing field and is working towards his field championship. He is a few points away from his grand championship.

About Iris
Iris is the top winning breeder-owner-handled Ibizan Hound in AKC History. She is the first breeder-owner-handled Best in Show winning Ibizan in AKC and is also the first and only Ibizan to attain the Grand Champion Platinum title. Her many show awards include an All Breed Best in Show, 2 Reserve Best in Shows, 13 Hound Group 1sts, multiple group placements, Best of Breed at the 2017 IHCUS National Specialty, Best of Breed at Westminster 2018 and Best of Breed at Royal Canin 2017 & 2018 (and Group 3rd in 2018) all breeder-owner-handled. She was the Number 1 Ibizan Hound in breed points in 2017 and Number 1 all systems in 2018. She was the perfect show partner, giving me 1000% every time we stepped in the ring. As a house pet she is a little pushy for attention but loves to lounge on her couch and thinks annoying the other dogs is *very* funny! She has produced 3 litters with several AKC champions, lure coursing titles and trick dog titles!

About Faline
Faline earned her championship with 3 majors and her field championship in short order. She is a Best in Field winner and was #2 Ibizan Hound in the country in AKC lure coursing in 2019! She is the best pet you could ask for, always making you laugh and embodying the word “weird”! I couldn’t possibly love her more! I am looking forward to finishing her health testing and breeding her later on in 2021.

About Phoebe
Phoebe is like a beautiful ornamental throw blanket, she loves to drape herself across the couch...or across your body...and be enjoyed for her soft, squishiness. She is incredibly sweet and funny but left her energetic days in the past, unless she sees a lizard outside! As a show dog she finished her championship easily with 4 majors and won Best of Breed during Beezerfest 2015 in an entry of 40 Ibizans! She finished her field championship from the veteran stake and is now happy to watch her children and grand children do all of the running! She produced 2 litters of the most adorable, silly and loving dogs you could ever hope to meet, including champions, grand champions, best in field winning field champions and lovely pets.

About Stella
Stella is retired from breeding but produced 3 litters resulting in 6 AKC Champions and 2 Field Champions. She is a group placer, a Best in Field winner and an outstanding companion who I often say “never progressed mentally since 8 weeks” because of her puppyish personality. She is a big baby and passed her sweetness on to all of her puppies.

About Elin
Elin is retired from breeding, but produced 3 beautiful litters. Her show ring accolades include Award of Excellence at Eukanuba 2011, Best of Breed at Westminster 2012, Select at IHCUS National Specialty 2012 as well as multiple group placements making her a Top 10 Ibizan Hound in the country in 2011 and Number 3 Ibizan Hound in the country in 2012! On the lure coursing field she was a machine, winning Best of Breed at the IHCUS National Specialty in 2011 and 2013 as well as 7 Best in Fields, earning her a place in the IHCUS Hall of Fame. She is the mother of 19 AKC Champions (9 of them Grand Champions), 3 Best in Field winners and 10 Field Champions. As a companion she has no equal. She is the true Queen of our family who has raised countless dogs to become wonderful pets and ambassadors for the breed. Her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren inherited many of her wonderful traits and make their families happy and complete. She is my best friend in every sense of the word.

About Turtle
Turtle is a goofball, there is no getting around that. He is a dog who has so much joy just to wake up every morning. He adores his people, all of his beezer family and friends, and cannot contain his hugs. He finished his championship with 3 majors and his grand championship in just 8 shows. He’s an impressive dog, at the top of the standard for height, who is incredibly fast and strong.

About Beetlejuice
Beetlejuice is a total clown, but a beast on the lure coursing field! He loves to go hiking but leaves the splashing in puddles and lakes to his friends. He is an excellent hunter of butterfly shadows...we haven't told him the butterflies are up above. He has been a consistent athlete on the field and has been among the top-ranked lure coursing dogs in the country in his first two years. He won Select Dog at the 2021 AKC Royal Canin National Championship and won his specials stake during the 2022 National Lure Coursing Championship!
