Cedar Ridge Beagles
is a family-owned, small kennel that raises beagles as a
family activity. Our
Beagles have been purchased from long-time breeding
programs, and were selected for disposition, health, and
conformation as well as their eye appeal. If dogs could
smile, these Beagles sure would. They are happy, waggy-tailed
dogs.

We love our beagles for the same reasons
that have made them a Top 10 Dog for decades...their
abundant love for people and gentleness with children.
Readers Digest lists them first in their Top 10 Breeds for
families with children. Squidoo web site says: "These dogs
are probably the ideal dog for any family, especially one
with small children. Beagles are good with children of all
ages."
In 2009, we hope to begin showing. At the
current time, our beagles are just loved by our own family,
and are not famous. :-) We recently welcomed Encore The Tide
Is Turning to our beagle family, and hope to show him soon. His sire and all
four grandparents are AKC champions!
Encore The Tide Is Turning
Earner of 4 AKC points (including 1 major) so far.
"Dogs are not our whole life, but they
make our lives whole."

Our Wonderful Beagle World
Our adult dogs have "playpens" to romp in, and enjoy playing with each other
and our children. They live on the ground, and NOT in rabbit hutches (puppy
mills often keep dogs in tiny above-ground cages...we do NOT do that). Fresh
water is available at all times, and food is also there 24/7 for everyone except
our couple that tend to get overweight. :-)
Puppies are loved daily and closely monitored for health status. By weaning,
they will have had all expected veterinary procedures, including removal of dew
claws, first vaccination, multiple dewormings, etc. Puppies will have veterinary
health certificates just prior to being old enough to leave our home.
We ONLY have beagles, and are not a puppy mill. Our litters are
raised in people-immersed environments, and if we ever get to the point that we
can't give them individual attention, well...it will be time to stop raising
puppies. We don't sell to brokers or pet stores. We just sell to families
and individuals that want a beagle to love and be loved by.
Please don't be offended if we ask you questions about your experience with
puppies and the facilities you have for your puppy. We want to make sure our
puppies will remain with you for many years. We won't require you to guarantee
us anything other than to promise that we can feel happy, knowing that you will
be a great family for our puppy to join.
Most of the people who contact us and buy beagle puppies
are looking for a beagle because they have had one before. That tells you
something about the breed. There is
no other testimonial better than the fact that people who have had beagles want
to continue having beagles.
