I'm Ashley C., the breeder behind Blackstone located in Garden City, ID. A small hobby kennel dedicated to preserving the Beagle by establishing type, function, and soundness. Our dogs are well-rounded, athletic, and intelligent individuals which makes them competitive in many venues as well as excellent pets!
Q. & A. with Ashley
Why did you start breeding?
I first became competitive in the dog scene when a big, loving Beagle came waltzing into my heart on my 13th Birthday. I met my mentor through him, and after waiting years for the right girl to start with, I bred my first litter in 2017.
What makes your program special?
We believe that correct structure, sound movement, and excellent temperaments are necessities. These qualities are also very important to us as our dogs are an integral part of our family; we couldn't imagine our lives without them! Our breeding dogs are cleared through OFA for hips/elbows/cardiac, CERF for eyes, and we genetic test for Factor VII, MLS, and NCCD.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include 13-inch and 15-inch sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black tan and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Blackstone reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Beagles.

Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
