By Ch. Lanbur the Continental and Ch. Ladmar's Talia Rose.

Hi! I'm Natalie. I started my life on Jan. 5th 1999. I weighed just under 4 oz. I was strong, ate good, but my sisters and 1 brother just ate way too much and never left anything for me. At 4 days old, Mom “Sharon” took over my feeding. We tried to let my Talia mom help, but soon gave that up since the other fat babies ate everything anyway. Even with feeding every 2 hours I didn’t grow much. At 6 weeks old I weighed only 11 ozs. and sure didn’t look like I’d ever walk into a show ring. Finally at about 3 months, the ugly duckling started to turn into a swan (or at least one really cute dog).
 

My grandma is Lanbur Miss Fleetwood, the top winning beagle. My mom “Talia”, Ch. Ladmar’s Talia Rose, was the #10 13” beagle in 1997. She retired due to a bad foot injury. My dad is Ch. Lanbur the Continental. He won best stud dog at the National Beagle specialty in Delavan, WI May ‘99 and of course grandma struck again and won BOV there too for the 4th time. 
 

This is my friend Mattie. She has helped take care of me since I got here. The one on the left was when I was still a little squirt, the one on the right was taken when I was 5 months old!
