December Surprises

When we adopted Riley we knew we would get another beagle someday. We had planed to get a female beagle and have a litter or two. We really wanted a lemon male to start with and we finally found Riley back in March of this year. We knew eventually we would want a Chocolate female beagle. Chocolate beagles are even more difficult to find than the lemons. I searched all over the country and found only two breeders that bread for chocolate puppies. One was is in North Carolina and the other is in Texas. Just before Christmas I came across across an LDS family from SLC who had recently moved just outside Salem. They had chocolate beagle puppies! This litter was going to be their bitch's last one. So we went to "look" at the puppies. Yeah Right! Needless to say we left their house with the last chocolate female and named her Bella. She is very different from Riley and soooo sweet! We have had her for eight weeks now and she is wonderful companion for Riley. She has the sweetest face with her green eyes. She is 15 week old now and she can sit, lay down, shake, and hi-five.
