Busy families and individuals often ask if we have 6 mo and older puppies available.

*Remember that your new puppy will start out in a confined area as they slowly learn about your home through your lead. Their safe-base can be the bathtub, kitchen or laundry room floor etc, with paper on one side and bedding on the other for whenever you're are not right there supervising him or her as they adapt to their new household there with you. Boundaries are good for puppies, so that as an intelligent student, they can respect your leadership, learn, and gradually earn their household privleges. Through this process they will be able to enjoy more freedoms when they grow up!

Get ready for Puppy Guidance by asking for our Guidance pages link from years of experience- available to approved pet homes wanting to successfully add one of our companion beagles to their life!

(Keep scrolling down, after you have read  the info below, there are more pictures of the available puppies growing up here at home!)

Why is there a pre-approved waiting list for certain timeframes and preferences ? Everyone's preferences are unique, from color, size, or gender, to timeframe decisions. Therefore our pre-approved waiting list helps us focus on everyone's goals for the future, as we learn more about each family beforehand, and help them find their matches during a time that works for them!

How do puppies become available?
Since everyone has different preferences and situations going on in their lives, the waiting list for certain timeframes, colors, sizes, and genders becomes satisfied. Then new folks can consider those puppies as matches if they are ready and seek adoption approval, otherwise, they may choose to join our waiting list, and at their individual turn(s) during a timeframe that works for them, we offer our pre-approved waiting list families the opportunity to claim or pass on matching puppies until they decide to adopt just the one that steals their heart!

How do you find forever homes?
We are committed to our puppies' care first and foremost, devoting our lives to properly raising our babies for pet-homes. Therefore it is important to us to match them up with the right families to continue learning from and forever homes to thrive in. Our website has proven crucial to finding sincere families who have taken their time to read everything and get to know our family, and by the same token, we like to learn all we can about the homes that come to us!

Ash and ComputerYour Emails to Miss C & Christi help us approve good forever homes for our babies!
Miss Christina & daughter Christi take time out of our responsibilities to individually review emails from potenitial homes together, so that we can first learn about adoptees, and if comfortable with developing a relationship, approve patient and sincere households who appreciate all that we're doing here and likewise provide their details for us to see. We want to know that the families who comes to us seeking adoption are indeed commited to the decision, and that they have taken their time to review all the helpful information we have already provided here online from our years of experience, so that everyone involved has a successful experience with the process of adding a new addition to the family. Send us emails so that we can see your details & sincere interest in moving forward with adopting a baby from our family for your family!

Since our website is viewable by the general public, emails work best for us- this not only protects our family from unknown callers, can you imagine getting phone calls day and night from thousands of viewers across the world... it allows us to take a moment of peace between responsibilties here at home to sit down and review/compose e-mails when the time is right. This is the only way we can truly devote our attention to our babies first and foremost, without interruption. Also having all the details accessible together in an email for reference really helps as we consider what's best for everyone. Once we've gotten a chance to see and discuss good potential homes with each other, we can feel comfortable with letting expectant pet-homes move forward in adopting of one of our babies, and take time when available to compose a letter back approving their home to join our extended sunshine family!

When we have spare time and are able to sit down at the computer for a coffee break, we do of course like to first update our website if possible, so that everyone can get an update at the same time, then move on to individual conversations. We often work offline to organize memory stick pictures into folders, thumbnail new pictures and make updates, then get online to publish web updates for all our puppy fans across the nation to watch and follow along in the process! We devote our days to hand-raising each of our puppies & caring for everyone, share all the cuteness via our website, and then work together to see they are matched up with the right forever homes!

As the weather chills there are less and less breeders able to care for beagle puppies in the colder months..

Puppy Health Care- Shots and Dewormings kept up to date
 

We keep all our puppies current on their shots and dewormings, and will send home their health folder with their new family so that when they go in for their booster (if needed) the vet can see exactly what they've had.  After the puppy booster shots in the series of 4 are completed, your pup will just need their rabies shot done in your name when old enough and a yearly booster shot, when they turn 1yr old.

Since worms are a common occurance that can be picked up very easily by pets, new puppy owners must be responsible for continuing the de-worming routine. This is a routine done every 2 weeks for puppies and is easy for new puppy parents to do until the vet puts them on a once a month pill. Simply pickup your puppy's own bottle of dewormer from Petsmart or order one online (which saves over retail pricing in the store- please use our links on the ahead suggested items page so we get credit - good brands are Evict DS, Nemex II or Strongid) and give your puppy their routine oral dose yourself with a syringe to ensure anything new that is picked up & matured is passed from their system. They like the taste, and this helps you keep from needing that done at the vet's office, saving considerably by doing it for your puppy yourself.

 If you see what looks like spaghetti in their stools, don't worry- that means your dewormer worked and that's how they are passed!

Adorable little Gabby sits for her picture ... till she notices Cody watching TV. and then watches too !!
she's a smart cookie already just like her grandmom Abbey who is now retired ... Miss Christina took her for a little walk in the woods this am. where we used to walk with Abbey off leash she would stick right with us and walk along the trails in the 20 acres behind our home... she was a loose beagle who would stay in our front yard unfenced and never wandered off into the woods unless we went too !
     

       
look at those Big eyes after we walked a bit ..she crawled up on my lap as if to say ok mommie can we go back home now !!
Just too darn cute .

 Louie Lemon Runtsize Male is claimed now !

his new family just returned from Germany and will be stationed at Ft. Bragg, they are looking forward to having their own first furry child to start the family and asked about Louie joining them !

 

Subject: Louie!

Hi my name is C.J. me and my wife are a military family and we just Moved to fayetteville N.C. from Germany. We saw your website and fell in love with the detail and care your family put into these dogs. We live in a modest 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house in a subdivision with a large front and back yard. We both have had pets growing up but are newlywed and are looking to start our family with one of your beautiful beagles. We are just interested in a sweet pet to love and take care of. I am in the Army and have been for the past 5 yrs. My wife is a house wife and has plenty of affection to show the hopefully new addition to our home. We prefer a male beagle and fell in love with the pictures of louie on your website. If Louie is not available we would like to know which ones are. We have no color preference. We currently do not have any children and are ready to raise a puppy now. I am originally  from knoxville tennessee and my wife was born in Pirmansens germany but is a U.S. citizen. We found your website very informative and easy to follow. I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks!!

C.J.
that sounded perfect for our little guy and he created a pay pal account to send his deposit right away and claim his favorite boy !!

lighter colored beagles do great in warmer climates since the black is missing they dont attract the suns rays.. and stay cooler !two lemons these boys have had 3 of the 4 shots done in the series of 4 that are required for new puppies !

this saves time and money to the new owners. still small and cuddley they are very good pets who adore people.

they heard Cody is into Camo items and brought him a cool outfit from where he served in Germany .

the couple told us they wanted to have this guy to start their little family with !

Lots of young couples tell us they learn from having a puppy and its great practice for parenthood...

one fellow told us jokingly the best part about a pup vs a newborn baby when they want to go out for a bite of dinner their little guy is fine in his crate while they are gone for a few hours and they dont have to call a sitter like his brother and his wife have to do :)  !!

They asked for Louie in their subject line and told us about their home and family and were able to claim the pup they fell for online by getting a pay pal acct set up to hold him till she got back from a trip and they could come take him home as their son .


 

 Hamilton Lemon Male is claimed now by the Smith family who is already getting

Winston by Ruby , now they will have two pups to enjoy and keep one another company !

We, Miss Christina, and kids Christi & Cody are devoting our attention to properly raising our little family members for indoor companionship, and matching them up with the right forever pet-homes one by one!

 We like to review emails together whenever time is available and pre-approve sincere interests who have done their research, appreciate the time we spend caring for the babies, as well as our efforts to provide all the helpful information found in our website, and are committed to successfully adding one of our babies to their home as a lifelong companion beagle.

Emailing helps us keep up with the details, and allows us the ability to focus our attention on our babies at all times, getting on emails when it is a good time, and if interrupted being able to easily get up to take care of things and return to emails later when appropriate.  When we are able to find a stopping point in between caring for all of our beagle babies we sit down to consider the details and compose an email back to our many excited families.  We are a small family, not a pet store, and the care of our babies is our first and foremost priority, not sales, so please be patient and understanding of our values- those sincere homes who understand this and wouldn't want it any other way are the families that we want to join our sunshine acres family !

 Getting Ready to Raise a new Puppy? Consider claiming one of our
Younger Puppies
 Ready SOON!

Each growing litter of puppies will be available to come home in the near future! If you will be ready for a puppy in the next couple weeks, consider our current Younger Litters that are stil maturing and wll be ready soon

Depending on the litter we will plan homecomings for after their mommy weans them, spending less and less time in with them (as their teeth grow in and they begin eating dry food) and they begin getting over seeing her and instead focus on people and their littermates. We like to have our babies already matched up so that once ready they can go right into their forever home and begin learning how to fit in with their human pack for the years to come.

Ask us for pre-approval to be included in the claiming process and start reviewing puppy tips to be all set for a successful addition!  To hold your spot in the claiming process, ask us about  holding your spot in our pre-approved waiting list with you $100 deposit, so that you get offered the chance to claim puppies with that deposit before they become available to the public! The $100 deposit  is included in the purchase price, and is non-refundable.

We are currently making matches and approving homes for adoption one by one so that once these babies are ready to begin bonding they can go ahead and enter their forever homes to start forming lifelong routines!

After you've taken your time to learn about our family and our mission in developing companion pet beagle lines for pet-homes only, and appreciate our devotion to hand-raising little housepets & sidekicks, begin the process by please sharing details about your lifestyle and your goals. We provide in-depth details on our family, so please by the same token let us know about yours in order for us to feel comfortable moving forward with allowing your household to adopt one of our babies. Adopting is a life-long commitment, and we want to know that you are committed to your adoption before moving forward and spending time helping you individually find your preferences and add a new addition to your life for the years to come.

Let us know ...

  • About yourself, and any family members that will influence your puppy & household routines. We want to know everyone is commited to helping your puppy successfully adapt to your pack and learn your household boundaries in order to more fully enjoy responsible years to come.

  • About your home -
    Yard, is it fenced/invisible fences or would you plan to walk
    Sleeping arrangements- confined area plans for safe-places when housebreaking, ect.

  • Your preferences/ favorites-
    (Please let us know about colors sizes and genders you are open to loving in your new family member!
    You can even put your favorites name in your subject line if you'd be ready for a favorite!)

  • Dates for possible Homecoming/ timeframes you have in mind or timeframes you are open to.

If one of these babies has caught your eye, and you are almost ready,, let us know you have matching favorites, and then we can consider your sincere interest as we match our babies to their forever homes!

If you are still getting things together and would like to plan ahead,
check out our Newborns that will be ready in a month or so for better possible matches.
 Keep scrolling down to see the Newborns!
 Also check out our upcoming litters page to get an idea of what we're expecting at this point.

Once you've joined our waiting list or claim your new baby, you can start reviewing our guidance pages to be all set for Homecoming Day!

Athena had similar puppies and her previous litters see them on her page to see how cute her kids turn out -  like "Dude " one of her rare colored cuties who went to Florida where lots of folks like Orange Beagles and the lighter colored less heat absorbing khaki and Lemons or Buff's  who can stay outdoors in the hot sunshine  without the black to attract the rays on their fur patern. 

 "I got a puppy biscuit for being good and going potty outside =) then she said we were going to wake up daddy, he's so much fun so I was glad! I licked his face and he woke right up! We played for a bit then had breakfast. Mommy said she had some friends to meet, so I got to stay home and hang out with daddy. He told me about this crazy game called football and a team he likes, the Miami Dolphins. I think they should be the Miami Beagles, but that's just me =) He let me watch sportscenter and taught me all the different names. It was fun! I was sleepy so I crawled up and took a nap with him."

We love it when our adoptive parents and their beagles stay in touch over the years as they grow up !!

Why is Puppy Guidance so important?

    As your puppy enters their new home, they will begin forming their lifelong habits in their new householod by seeking out boundaries and learning from pack leaders- aka humans.  This first week home is the best time to establish life lessons & human pack order so that they can understand you will always be their strong, wise pack leader, who will always make the best decisions in the long run and do what is best for the pack. Your attentive beagle puppy will observe your interactions, and directly learn from each of your responses- learning how you view each behavior and whether its acceptable within your pack.
 

   From Day 1: Your Indoor Beagle is learning!  Instructing, Training and Nurturing the right state of mind from the very start is the most logical & easiest time to make lifelong impressions, so that can begin adapting and developing their responsible Lifestyle with your human pack for the wonderful years to come! By establishing yourself as a strong, dependable pack leader, they will respect your wisdom over them, and therefore follow your guidance in developing an adaptation to your unique Household & pack, to fit in and thrive in for the years to come.

The first step towards being a responsible pet parent & leader is to Understand your puppy's learning process, and What To Do (and what NOT to do) in order to successfully develop healthy habits and raise your lifelong companion pet. You can be prepared to be a good consistent leader by reading our advice from our years of experience, available to committed sunshine acres families on our exclusive Guidance pages.

christi and newbornsNewborns
Miss Christina is endlessly watching over & nurturing each of our newborn baby beagles!
Follow our updates as we add new faces to the website.

  • We announce our puppies arrival and when everything is stable after those first few days and sleepless nights we'll find a good time to start posting our newborns' pictures so that everyone following along can see!

   
  • We'll make announcements on turns for those pre-approved in line, and contact our waiting list families who are ready for this timeframe, and open to those puppies' colors sizes and genders. One by one our pre-approved sunshine acres beagle parents can take their turn and choose to claim their lifelong family members (or pass if they'd like to continue waiting for color/size/gender/timeframe matches) Folks in line are always welcome to update their preferences, especially if they see a new face they'd love to be considered for! We just want to see lifelong happy matches for our puppies and families, and love seeing everything work out just right!

  • Once claimed, we'll announce the decision on the website, and our families continue to watch our updates as the babies grow up here. In the meanwhile, the forever home prepares and reviews our guidance pages to be consistent in successfully raising their puppy from day one. Their mom will begin weaning them, spending less and less time in with them now that they have teeth, and the puppies will start playing with their toys, and looking to humans for all their needs. Folks often like to send along a care package, such as bed, toys, treats for mom while she nursing them etc. for their little family member to enjoy and benefit from here with his or her littermates ,and take home something familiar!   We'll set appointments for homecoming so that when they're ready, the puppies can join their forever homes to begin bonding and learning just how to fit in for the years to come!

Once you've taken your time to learn about our family and agree with our mission in developing companion beagle lines for pet homes only, you can take the next step in the process by telling us about your potential home for one of our babies, so that we too can learn about you, and move forward in forming a lasting relationship with your forever home.

Ask us  about pre-approval for adoption & hold your spot in the claiming process!

We like to know how one of our babies would fit in there with you because seeing a successful addition is our goal. We have taken the initiative in sharing years worth of photos and information about our family and our passion for raising companions via our ever growing website, and by the same token we want to learn about the potential homes that come to us. Whether you're ready now, or plan to be in the future, getting yourself pre-approved on the waiting list helps the process go smoothly, so that we can better focus on your details and desires, and help make that wonderful match happen for the happy years to come! As a pre-approved sunshine expectant parent, you may hold your spot on our Waiting List so that we can offer you your own turn(s) to choose to claim your very own puppy during a good timeframe for you, so that everything works out just right for everyone involved. When we know everything beforehand, we can better understand your situation and help you find appropriate matches to choose from when the time is right. If planning ahead, by the time you are ready, you will have held your spot in line ahead of others who come to us after you, so that you can be one of the first in line for that timeframe. If you are ready, you can jump on the waiting list to hold your spot, as we work together to help you claim your new beagle puppy!

You are  welcome to be as specific or as open as you wish when picking out your preferences on colors , sizes, genders and timeframes, depending on what really matters to you. See more pictures and learn more about the different colors sizes and genders you may love in your new family member here. If your preferences change or expand over time, you are always welcome to send us an update so that we can offer you matching babies to choose from and you can claim just the one that steals your heart!

We are considering matches for each of our babies as we peice the puzzle together! Upon approval, you could be next for a darling in matching colors/sizes and gender- of course the more characterisitics you are open to, the more babies we can offer you at your turn for each.  If you currently have favorites, feel free to let us know. We enjoy matching our babies up ahead of time so that everyone can begin making plans and discussing puppy homecoming dates. Your family can begin preparing for a responsible addition to your home, and once your puppy is ready to begin bonding, everyone can be all set for the new puppy to start learning how to best fit in their forever home!

Contacting Our Family about Adoption:

We choose to devote our time to our beagles, which is why we have gathered detailed information from our years of experience here for our interested families to take their time learning about our family, our mission in handraising companion beagles for approved homes, and all the helpful details about our beagles, colors, sizes, happy families stories, and more, to help families fully understand the time and devotion that has been put into their new family member from day1.

We likewise want to learn about the families who come to us in hopes of adding one of our babies to their lives. Emailing is our prefferred method of communication, as this not only allow us the ability to better focus on our babies and responsibilities around sunshine acres, but also allows us the ability to keep track of families' details and preferences in order to further help make the right matches happen! Phone Calls from interested customers across the nation would interrupt our work here to much for us to trully devote ourselves to our beagles. When time is available, we can choose to sit down and review potential families details together, discussing possibilites, and replying when time allows- if something comes up we can easily get up and take care of whatever is needed here, and return to writing back when time is appropriate. Being in the middle of a phone call would hinder our awareness & ability to respond to what is going on around Sunshine Acres, so as a family we have chosen not to provide our phone number to the public so as to not only have a private family life, but to be able to devote ourselves to the care of the newborns and other responsibilities that we have here at home.
Emailing is our prefferred communication,
 and allows us to devote our time appropriately, focusing our care on our babies, and reviewing & keeping track of our families' details in order to see the right matches happen!

We put the care of our babies first and foremost, meanwhile offering the joy we have found in our unique companion pets to sincere, patient, and understanding families across America who trully appreciate our values and where we are coming from as a family- those who would want us to devote our time & attentionto our babies first, are the families we would want to adopt our babies to responsibly raise and enjoy for the years to come, sending updates and pictures as they become a part of our Happy Sunshine Acres Family!

Different preference lines often become satisfied, as everyone has their own unique preferences! The different puppy preferences you may favor are pictured & detailed here: Colors, Sizes & Prices

If there is anyone in line ready for this current timeframe, we will first offer our puppies to those matching pre-approved folks. They can choose to claim a matching puppy, or pass & continue waiting for a future match/ timeframe. We announce any available puppies after we know the Waiting List's status (Which at the moment, those in line are waiting for the October timeframe, so we do have available puppies now!)

Our Waiting List Lines can change quickly, as pre-approved families may choose to:

  • Claim a matching puppy,

  • Pass on Current puppies, and choose to wait on their turn for a Future Timeframe/matching puppy.

  • Change or expand their puppy preference options at any time (Genders/Colors/Sizes/sometimes facial markings/timeframes etc.) 

To hold a spot in the claiming process, most folks like to go ahead & get themselves pre-approved & join the Waiting List. Often folks can get preapproved and join now, & bring home their very own darling soon, depending on the options they were open to!

 If you are planning ahead, you are always welcome to seek pre-approval ahead of time to help ensure everything works out perfectly when the time comes to find, claim, and raise your new baby beagle puppy! People are always welcome to stay on the waiting list for as long as they wish, until everything works out perfectly!

Let us know if you'd like to get yourself (& any human or pet family members!) pre-approved to choose & adopt your own matching sunshine acres baby.  Tell us about our baby's potential homelife there with you so we can feel comfortable in considering you as a good pet-home & Appoving your household for the adopton of one of our babies! Also let us know what characteristics you'd love in your very own companion beagle, and If you are ready and smitten with an Available puppy, feel free to also ask about placing a deposit in order to claim one of your favorites to hold off the market till homecoming day!

Review our details so that once you are ready to take the next step you can sincerely tell us about yourself and desire for one of our babies!  Also see more about the Deposit to join the Waiting List & to Claim your own Sunshine Acres Beagle Puppy!

Keep an eye on our Current Litters and Upcoming Litters to see who is here and an idea of who is expecting in the near future.
We continually update with new litters' arrivals and new expectant mommies as time goes on. Ask about being pre-approved by our family for a puppy and join our waiting list to hold your spot in the process for when everything works out perfectly!

Its works out beautifully when folks are able to plan ahead and seek our pre-approval to adopt one of our babies. When the time is right we then begin offering their preferred matches as it becomes their turn for different preference lines. By joining ahead of time, they held their spot in line ahead of time and are ahead of others in the claiming process. Sometimes people pass due to timeframes or specific desires, so the line is open to change at any time, making it possible for folks to join and be offered a chance to claim right away, or pass and continue waiting for a future turn to claim their very own matching Sunshine Acres Babies!  

 It's perfectly fine to hold your spot in line for the future! If you'll need to wait a couple weeks, months, or more for a puppy to enter your home, ask about getting pre-approved for the waiting list. Often folks like to  join the waiting list ahead of time to hold their position in the claiming process. They can then wait as long as desired, and may look forward to current or younger babies, expected litters, &/ Or  future puppies. They can choose to claim a puppy at their turn(s) if everything works out, or pass & continue waiting for any reason.

Tell us a about your preferred timeframe and more about yourself & one of our babies' potential home life there in your household, so that we can consider you as a good puppy home, and begin an adoptive relationship, working with you to successfully find and add the right match for your approved companion pet home!

  • Why letting us know about your Matching Timeframe matters to us:

Once on the Waiting List- what's the next step?

Once you've made the commitment to join our sunshine acres beagle family, feel free to explore our exclusive pages for extra details and advice as your prepare for your new family member! Everyone in the family can start reviewing our puppy Guidance pages so you will know how to be consistent in leading the way from Day 1 for a successful puppy addition & adaptation.

Keeping an eye on this page and what's going on around here is a great idea since things can change quickly, and this is how we as a family choose to update all of our addicted puppy followers together and more thoroughly, vs writing info to each and every viewer individually. The website allows us to go in much more detail for everyone's benefit, in between focusing our time on our babies!

You are always welcome to chime in if one of our cuties has caught your eye, and you would be ready for their homecoming timeframe!  Even if they didn't match the original preferences you had expressed an interest in, we understand that with all the unique and beautiful characteristics our babies have, folks may always discover their admiration of an additional option! Let us know if another preference option would be equally loved by you! Then when we see a possibility for you to claim that puppy, we know you'd be interested!
 If you find yourself smitten with a current puppy you can let us know!

If you find that any of your preferences expand or change, you can always email me with an update so I can continue to offer good matches for you to consider! We love seeing everything work out for everyone, & we like to consider the best possible matches for each of our babies. This is why we have developed our unique waiting list process for families Pre-Approved.

Planning Ahead & Keeping up with your matches helps!  Consider whether your preferred timing for a puppy to come home matches the best time frame/week stated for each litter to enter their new homes. Then if a puppy becomes available as a good match for you,  you're family would have already thought about whether you'd be ready for them and who you would be interested in adding to your household!  Thinking ahead & letting us know helps move along the claiming process.

If you're not Ready for a Puppy During these babies' Homecoming Timeframe, Let us know about your future plans for a Beagle Puppy! Feel free to send us timeframe updates, and continue checking out our Upcoming Mommies to get an idea of near future possiblilities.

Don't forget our Puppy Guidance Pages as you prepare for your new addition to your life!

 

Your New Puppy

is Ready-to-Learn-Your-Pack-Life !
So now is the time to lead him through an optimum adaptation, as you successfully Raise a family oriented Beagle Puppy into your lifeong Indoor Companion Pet!

(See our FULL ADVICE on our GUIDANCE pages- ask for the link!)

Beagle Puppy Care
Over Feeding?
 Beagles are known to eat all you give them, so be careful to restrict how much you allow them while they are young, especially for a mini or nano to stay that way. Overfeeding can lead to a stretched stomach, before the body starts adjusting to the amount of food intake, and later a larger beagle than you had hoped for.

Sometimes we get frantic calls from customers who fed more than we reccommended, saying "my puppy's tummy looks bloated" We say "cut back on the amount of food you feed tomorrow in order to feed appropriately to your little baby's size". Remember the food also expands when the puppy drinks water, so don't be surprised if their tummy looks large. A stretched tummy simply means their body was not meant to require that amount of food, and you simply need to cut back next time until their tummy is back to an appropriate size. Usually 1/4 a cup twice a day is the right amount for a new puppy, sometimes less for the smaller sized babies which again, you can always cut back its you see that it was too much. Its been shown that overfeeding a smaller size dog can lead to a larger one , just feed twice daily and carefully to keep a mini mini !!


Beagle Puppy Training
Where should my
new puppy sleep?

 

The first step to housetraining, Bathtub setup

is setting up your bathtub for the new puppy to stay in when you aren't able to take him outside. Puppies can sleep in your  bath tub at night , with paper on one end and a doggie bed, and toys, on the other so they can use  the paper when you are busy and aren't right with them in their new house, or cant take them outside.

 Crate training can come later at around 14 -15 weeks old, and you can follow our advice on doing this easily from our tips page!

By starting them from the time they can walk our puppies are way ahead of the game on housetraining and using paper !

clarice in playpen setup
Clarice has graduated to a bigger playpen setup area! She has learned to keep her bed clean, and uses the paper for hurry ups.  This setup helps you avoid accidents in your home, and allows you take your puppy outside to begin forming that routine with your schedule.


Beagle Puppy Training
HouseTraining?

You can begin taking your puppy outside to a preferred spot in the yard starting their first day home.  You can take them out as often as possible, and begin developing a routine recording how many times they went, and around what time. Avoiding accidents that first week  learning about the new home can be a major advantage in housetraining.  Keep in mind that they will need to "HurryUp" as we call it everytime they eat, drink, wake up from a nap, or play. In order to help avoid accidents, only have your puppy out on the floor when supervised, and if he or she seems to start losing interest in you and begin searching, they are probably looking for a spot to go, usually by finding the scent of a spot that has already been marked as a hurry up spot (which is why avoiding accidents in the first place is good!) When you arent able to supervise your puppy, put them back in their contained safe-area so that they will be able to confidently choose paper rather than bed if they need to go, until further training has been established, and house privleges have been gained.
Crate training is a great idea for everyone involved, whether you plan to use one regularly in the future or just when needed. Getting your pet comfortable with his or her own crate there in your home ahead of time helps give them a good option in the future when you need to go out, have someone new over, or need to travel.

You can start crate training after your pup can start being expected to hold their bladder through the night. After around 14 - 15 weeks or so, older puppies can usually start sleeping in a crate at noght, and you can plan to get up early the next morning those first few days to let them go outside, as they learn your schedule and form working lifelong routines in your home.

cinder in crate training

 


You can see older puppies like Cinder who have already started learning about sleeping the crate on our Older pups page here or have been using a doggie door to go out and are past the paper training stage.

Whenever you see your puppy walk into the open crate on their own, reinforce that decision with a "good in your bed" in a good job tone. We gave Cinder a treat in the crate, and she liked the experience of being in there! Teaching your dog a key command is good- our Grace knows "Get in your bed" and will happily go get in her crate whenever we need her to. She was taught this with a positive reinforcement as a growing pup- everytime she came in from outside we would toss a treat into the crate or have one waiting for her and tell her get in your bed, she would get in  and be rewarded with a treat, as well as a Good get in your bed! to reinforce she did good by going into the crate, and would close the door and let her spend a little time in there to dry her feet after coming in the house.

 Its helpful to start out in a designated area, with the option of paper down, and then put an open crate in their area. They can begin going into the crate to lay down and relax, and if they still need to use the paper they can go out onto it in case you aren't able to take them out when they need to go- this can help your adjusting puppy learn to gradually sleep in their own crate, but still use the paper outside of the crate if needed. When the paper is dry a few mornings in a row, then you know your puppy can hold his or her bladder through the night and can begin closing the door, and getting up early the next morning to take them out.

Always take them out the same door, so they associate that door with going outside to hurry up, and to the same spot in the yard so they can pick up the scent of where they've gone before, and know what their outside to do! Dogs like to re-mark where they have gone before, so starting a routine of where to go from the beginning is always helpful in building those associations for them to remember for the years to come! When your new dog goes outside to 'hurry up', let them know they did a good hurry up so they will want to repeat that behavior, even on command, in the future- making for a much easier housebreaking and walk-taking experience!

New Puppy Training Tip:

All puppies go through learning stages as they develop.  Your new sunshine acres beagle puppy will be joining your home attentive to you, his or her human caregiver, and will be ready to begin learning the best way to fit in with your pack for the most fulfilling future. Take advantage of this special adapting time by helping them understand what habits & behaviors within this pack will be most beneficial so that everyone can be happy.

As a pack animal, puppies are seeking out that crucial pack order and strong pack leaders to follow, which will keep them safe throughout whatever comes in the future. Dogs thrive within a pack when the proper protocol is established upfront, by confident, calm and assertive leaders to follow for the years to come. Demonstrate your leadership skills to your new baby Beagle by establishing  the ground rules from day one, and being consistent so that he can fully learn from each experience and move forward.  That assertive communication will bond you and your new k9 addition closer together as they will develop a deep respect for you.  Communicate to your new puppy what behaviors are good and beneficial, and what behaviors are bad and will not be acceptable as a lifelong habit.  By understanding the pack boundaries, they can more easily begin adapting to your household in order live the most harmonious & happy life to their wonderful full potential as your own perfect companion pet  for the many years to enjoy together !

After the ground rules are established, your beagle will have the pridlege of enjoying fewer restrictions in the future and be given the opportunity to live an ultimately much happier life in harmony with your pack.

 No Biting allowed.

Our Number One Rule in training, Is NEVER ALLOW YOUR NEW PUPPY TO NIBBLE OR BITE ANY FLESH, even what appears to be innocent teething on your finger!    It may not hurt now, but it will later if that experimental behavior is allowed to develop into habit!

When new families come to meet our pups, We ask that No one scrath or tickle the puppies since boundaries are still being established and Do not allow the puppies they hold to nibble or bite their fingers and hands.

Roughousing at a young age encourages biting as an automatic response to the roughhands, and that type of energy can cause the wrong state of mind to develop during such a crucial learning & bonding time. Once your puppy is an established, responsible member of the pack, playing is fine because he already knows the boundaries- its simply important to first guide your young one through puppyhood maintaing a calm state of mind so that they can feel comfortable in being calm whenever appropriate in the future, and you will have a much easier time training, and developing obediance & trust, before the time comes to begin exploring life's adventures with your very own sidekick!

Establishing Respect from day one is important while the new addition is observing the pack order, figuring out the boundaries and how to begin adapting to the new household pack. Help your puppy understand and learn the rules, so that they can move forward in the right direction towards a healthy relationship with your pack and bonding with lifelong masters, so that down the road your canine addition will be a responsible member of the family. By allowing a puppy to teeth on you and bite your fingers- that acceptance of his potential dominance will result in a loss of respect for you by the new k-9 addition to your home. Respecting you as the top dog in the family pack is important, so that they will be more confident in your ability to be a stonger leader for the good of the pack and they can trust your wise discernment therefore minding whatever you -their calm Assertive leader- has to say !

Read about Puppy Guidance, for more about this Puppy Rule on our tips page. If you are a Sunshine Acres Beagle family or on the waiting list, ask for this page for our personal advice!

Be the Pack Leader
 so your puppy can follow your dependable leadership.

As puppies develop, they seek strong masters who are responsible and will show them the best way to live a long healthy & happy lifestyle within the pack. They follow those masters who make the best decisions for the pack as a whole, by being upfront, firm, and consistent on establishing the boundaries and ground rule that will make for a stronger pack down the road.

 From their first day home they will begin learning what behaviors seem the most beneficial to their future with your pack, and can adapt to any lifestyle that they begin learning from. This is the time to guide their adaptation so that they can learn the best way to begin fitting in with your unique pack; Be a responsible master for your learning and growing puppy by being in tune with your puppy's state of mind, understanding each situation, responding correctly so that your puppy understands the pack lesson, and can move forward in the right state of mind. The whole family must commit to a responsible instruction plan so that everyone sends the same message and is consistent in the learning process.

 It is important for forever families to guide their puppy's adaptation to their unique home & lifestyle, so the puppy can more easily understand that what boundaries this human pack has and that they are firm in those rules for the good of the pack, so now its time for puppy to learn what they need to do to fit in with this strong pack & start living in harmony!

We start them off right, and now its up to you to continue raising your new baby beagle into your lifelong sidekick.  You can lead the way with the benefit of our years of experience raising companion beagle pets.  As an approved pet home who has made that sincere commitment to becoming a sunshine acres family for the years to come, you will have access to our years of experience and accumulated advice, and follow our Guidance in taking over the wonderful responsibility of raising your new hand raised family-oriented sunshine beagle baby, and helping them blossom into your very own unique Companion Pet for years of enjoyable harmony! 

 

 

Upon making the family commitment, prepare for the momentous process by

 Reviewing our experienced
 Advice throughout our Guidance pages

 As a pack, everyone is the new puppy's pack leaders. By incorporating the wisdom of dog psychology and in-tune commuinication, you can start things off on the right foot from the beginning, when it’s the easiest to establish lifelong habits in your forever pack

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a litter has been claimed by pre-approved homes, families continue to check in and watch for updates as their puppy grows and becomes ready to begin bonding! In the meanwhile, many folks like to send along a care package for their new family member to enjoy here and take home some familiar toys/blanky/bed on homecoming day! Once homecoming day arrives, we meet with the new forever family and help them add their new addition to the family!

Amber is doing wonderful, oh we have fallen in love with her.  She is so adorable and cute.  She has fun skyping with Stephen since he is away training with the Army and will soon be deployed. Oh boy, does Amber keep me company.  We play in the backyard in the evening and also go walking in the park.  She is such a pleasure, I am so happy we got her since he is gone. Me and Amber have some much fun if I could take her shopping with me I would.  I have attached some pictures in of her in her winter clothes and skyping with Stephen.
Thanks for pairing me with the perfect puppy.

Hello again, Just wanted to let you know that Henry (aka Drake) is doing incredibly well in his new home (i have attached a couple of snaps). He is just wonderful - he is prettier than we imagined he could be, and so gentle and sweet. And he seems to be very happy - he has been snuggling a lot and slept pretty well last night without crying.
We are so very pleased with him!
Thanks so much, Gillinder and Nicholas.

Available Brazil's sister "Tilley" was adopted by the Hansen family!
 "Hello!!! We are so happy that we picked Tilley to join our family. Madison, our five year old is into rhyming and thought that Lilly rhymes with Tilley. We all liked the name and have named her "Lilly". Since the first day she has made her spot at the end of the sofa. At night she sleeps in bed with us. I take her out once during the night to pee. And the rest of the night she sleeps snuggled in my arm. She is just what we wanted. Thank you so much for raising such sweeties.:-)
Sincerely,
The Hansen Family"

darlas tri male roger Darla's Tri Male with a bigger blaze was adopted by Roger and his room mate.  Roger knew he wanted a new little pal to join them in the new house he was purchasing... he made sure he got a great yard and had sent us pictures saying that sold him on the home !  Once they got moved in and all ready for him to join the gang they came out and adopted him to be a part of their homelife in the new place !

Dear Miss Christina, Christi, Cody and Jake,
Just wanted to write with an update on our darling, adorable, well-behaved, one-in-a-million BeBop!  She is so precious and has already improved our lives and home a hundred-fold since we brought her home on Saturday.  What a wonderful, sweet, darling puppy - you all have done such a good job with her.  She is soooooo smart and soooooo loving.  All 6 of us have already received tongue baths when she's excited to see us.  I am usually the first one awake in the morning so I go right to check on her and she greets with me a wagging tail and lots of licks as if to say, "I'm so happy to see you!  Where have you been?!?" 
The birthday surprise went off without a hitch!!  My computer is acting funny so I can't send pictures at the moment, but as soon as I can I will.  You all will love them!  I captured the pure joy and excitement in my husband's face as Mary snuck around one side of the couch and handed him BeBop.  It was incredible!  We all shed some tears at the momentous occasion.  His first question was, "Who's this?!?" since he hadn't seen the more recent pictures of her and didn't recognize her.  We said, "BeBop, of course!  They picked us!"  He was so worried that we had given up on BeBop and just went out and found any ol' beagle to bring home!!  It was love and first sight for all the boys and everyone is giving her A LOT of attention, hugs and kisses. 
I believe that she is already a bit spoiled as the only time she cried on the way home is when Mary put her in her box with papers, she didn't need to "hurry up" and wanted back into Mary's arms!!!  She made it through her entire first night without a peep (which was nothing short of a miracle since I think we accidentally left the herbal drops at your home...oh well, thank goodness she didn't cry!) and went right on her newspaper every time she needed to.  She has a very comfy set-up in our laundry room right off the kitchen with a gate up so she can always see us, hear us and smell the yummy scents in the kitchen.  We have quickly discovered how much she loves to eat!!  We are being very careful to only give her the 1/4 cup in the a.m. and 1/4 cup in the p.m., but right from her first feeding she scarfed it down like she hadn't eaten in a month.  She has a voracious appetite as we've heard beagles do, but we were so happy that she ate so well right from the beginning since it seemed like an indicator that she felt okay and was comfortable enough with us to take care of her belly's needs! :)
 
Anyway, I could go on and on (as you can imagine) about our wonderful little, Be-Bop-a-Lula...we even made up new lyrics to the oldies song:
Be-Bop-a-Lula she's our baby
Be-Bop-a-Lula we don't mean maybe
Be-Bop-a-Lula she-he-he's our puppy love, our puppy love
She is the puppy with the big white chest
She's the puppy that we love best
She's our cutie with the wide, white blaze
Oh yes, she brightens all our days
Singing...Be-Bop-a-Lula 
 
Thank you, thank you, thank you..a million thank yous for allowing us to adopt the BEST puppy in the whole world.  We will be forever grateful.  Pictures will be coming as soon as I can successfully send them your way.
Have a wonderful week filled with lots of doggie licks,
Susan, Charles, Charley, Mary, Mikey and Maggie Gowland
 
P.S.  After Maggie cheered up when we pulled away from Sunshine Acres, she fessed up that she was weepy because she didn't want to separate Betsy and BeBop. :(  I really didn't want to either, but we hope that Betsy is on her way to finding her forever home.  

 

"Betsy" was adopted! roses betsy  We had been talking to her new Daddy about a visit to come meet available pups ...

they knew they loved Betsey online and it was true in person too so she got chosen !  We were glad it all worked out so well for their timeframe as it gave his son a chance to get to know Betsey ( his new little sis) before going off to WCU to start Fall Semester Classes where Miss Christina went to College back in the late 70's early 80's . 

 

(Miss C. holds little Midge the night before she is chosen to go home with her new family )

5 mo. old Nano khaki Midge was adopted ! "Midge" Khaki Nano Girl

Midge gets to join her mom visiting in Hospitals someday as a Therapy Dog... we thought she would be just perfect for that ... so tiny and easy to hold , and a gorgeous soft luxurious less shedding khaki coat not to mention her loving gentle spirit would make anyone melt and feel good all over !!

silverbells tate" Tate" Khaki Runtsize Boy went home with his new family who were on our waiting list .

They were without a dog im their home for the first time in 20 years and missed the little pitter patter of puppy paws they told us... after joining the waiting list for a sunshine beagle baby they took one more vacation they had planned and came up to chose their new best friend !


Penny Melcher "Penny" Chocolate Girl  went home with her family from Pa. on our waiting list for this timeframe.

Silver Mini Female "Ashley"  was adopted by her new family who asked for her in their subject line they came to meet her and loved her in person too !

bonnets dove "Dove"Chocolate Mini Female has been adopted!

Her military family said they would be returning to California in a year and wanted a tiny less shedding older puppy  to join them .  Mom admitted to a little OCD nature on cleanliness and loved the idea the majority of rare colored beagles tend to have shorter less shed hair thats not as noticable as a Tri color beagles longer coarser fur typically can be.

roses lucas"Lucas" Tricolor Male went to his new parents!  They had been watching and enjoying our website for a long time ..

and finally were down in our area visiting friends so they emailed to see if they could come on out on a weekend to meet some of the available puppies and see who stole their hearts to adopt !

rose milo braun"Milo" was adopted by Jenny Braun and her family from our waiting list!  They had sent us goodies ahead of their visit knowing we were coffee addictics with the nature of our work often having to stay up overnight to watch over expectant moms and newborns we go thru a lot of it around here and then sometimes have to go on to college classes in the kids case ... so they found some adorable items to send and bring for us, and the moms and pups got special hand made doggie treats to enjoy too  !

Miss C.
We made it home safely and Milo was a dream. He used his wee wee pads to go "hurry up" all the way to Cincinnati
He slept great last night and only woke up when he wanted water. We had a bad storm come thru and he was a trooper
He has spent the morning exploring his yard and the house.
He is so wonderful and we can't wait to show him off around the neighborhood and introduce him to his new puppy pals
Thanks again for everything!!
The Brauns

"Mickey" aka "Shiloh" Tricolor Male went home with his birthday boy! roses shiloh 

granddad had emailed letting us know that he and grandmom wanted to surprise their grandson they are raising with a new little best friend to grow up with !  They told us they wanted to go ahead and send a deposit to join the waiting list for a tri colored boy pup and came to let him find a pal all his own !!

lacys gina Lacys tri colored girl "Gina" went home with the Griesinger family of  Maggie Valley NC. !!              

"Sierra" now Maggie Mae sandys maggie mae

her new mom flew into charlotte to take her home onboard the plane to her family in Las Vegas  !

lizzys corduroy flew to the Garza family of San Benito Texas now !

Carver has flown home to  the Webers of California !  Dana is a teacher and had joined the waiting list for summer timeframe so she could have a new baby in the home over her break from school . 

"Stardust" Silver Girl has been adopted!starlets stardust

Silverbell Ranger Harris "Ranger" Silver Runtsize Male has been adopted by the Harris family!  They came out to meet the available puppies and the whole family  of Five kids and parents were smitten with this silver sweetie !

 

silver bell's tyler went home!  They joked and told us  he posed so cute they just couldnt resist him !

"Piper" goes home with the Coan family from Carrboro NC!

"Lotus" has been adopted  by a couple from DC . who drove down to pick her up  !

They have updated us and say she is just the perfect addition to their home and little family, mom says they cant go anywhere she doesnt draw a crowd she's so sweet and adorable .

 

with a couple younsters already they decided a pup like Casanova's older stage would suit them so he can be less dependant on mom's time and already able to keep up with their sons activity level outdoors and in their yard playing and fetching toys etc. to entertain him as his new pal !

Ashley by Lacy found her family!

Jasmine's 2 tricolors were adopted together! their new family owned a doggie bakery in San fran . and had relocated to NC.

they wanted brothers to keep each other company , lots of folks see the wisdom in getting a pair of sibblings to raise together since you know they can play with one another when your too busy , and still love you as their human care giver family in a very different bonding way ! It doesnt  take away from the connection you have it just keeps you from feeling guilty if you cant spend time with your dog someone once told me .. makes sense to us , our many doggies still are crazy about our attention and love even though they play and romp with others whenever we are tied up .

Zoey was adopted!

Sweetie's Remmington was adopted!

 "Christina,    Boo (as we are now calling Bianca) has settled in beautifully.  She plays "race horse" with our cat, Cromwell (He's the one in the picture with her) in the back yard now.  She gets along okay with the other two cats but she and Cromwell are pretty good friends.  She and Scout (our hound) are playing some too"

The Lagasse family adopted Sandy's Charlotte charlotte lagasse

Hello Miss Christina,
Hope all is well at Sunshine Acres!
We thought we'd send you a quick update and some photos of Charlotte, who is now a very playful 5 month old!
She is fantastic! She's been doing well learning her good manners, and we've been going for walks on leash. She is the friendliest pup, and has such a love for life. She turns heads wherever we go.
And, she might be the fastest beagle ever born. She can tuck her rear under her, and just go!
She runs circles around the children, and they love it. Also, she is so incredibly snuggleful.
When you hold her, she always hugs you around the neck with her chin and neck. They are the sweetest hugs.
We still can't believe how small she is. We always thought our beagle Andy was a small one, but she is less that 1/2 his height! So petite and perfect. And her color!! I never knew that I would be so in love with khaki's! She's so soft and so beautiful...well I guess you know all about that! :)
Anyway, thank you again for giving us the perfect addition to our family.
Sincerely,
The Lagasse's: Lance, Valerie, Ryan, and Troy

 

 

 

The Schillings family adopted Athena's Butterfly aka "Tulip"!

 

3/19/11 Susan came back to get her and her husband Garrett's second Sunshine Acres Beagle baby by mommy Athena!! They already have "Oscar" from Athena's first litter, raised him and then had their new baby boy Carson, who they told us Oscar did so well with! Oscar even brings toys up to Carson, and Carson grabs onto the toy and Oscar knows to let go and let the baby have the toy :)

 

They love their new Athena baby Starburst, and said that whenever we are ready to retire mom Athena, she has a home with them!!

 

 

 

Clover's babies went home last Saturday! 

 

 

Clover's mom Bleu had agreed to let Clover come back and have a litter for us when she adopted her, Clover came back to be bred, then went home and came back once she was nearing her due date and had 4 chocolate babies! We are keeping the chocolate girl :) Bleu adopted one of the sons, and her mom adopted another son, and while Bleu was here to pick up their babies, the Hines arrived to adopt Clover's remaining son and they were all able to meet!

 

We are keeping Clover's chocolate peppermint "Patty"!

 

 

 

  Eclipse's boy Eddie B. and Trevor go home together with the Love family who had emailed us telling us how much they were in love with Eddie B. and asking us to hold onto him till they could arrive and choose a second pup to come home with them !!

(Their brother "Trey" is still available!)

 

 

 

  Up from South Florida Ada claims her little chocolate girlie by Sienna..          she had joined our waiting list as a preapproved adoptive family for one of our mini puppies.   They drove up from Miami and made their decision on one of our chocolate darlins to join their tri beagle as a new friend !

(Sienna has 2 Chocolate boys still available!!)

 

 

 

 

   Bonnie's last orange and white girl gets the vote by the whole family and heads home .. their orange and white cat will have a new matching friend,, LOL,  they told us !!  Often folks ask how will a beagle get along with our kitty?  We have lots of families adopt our beagle puppies who already have a cat .. by letting them meet and gradually spend more time each day together they become friends and several folks have emailed us pictures of their sunshine puppy asleep cuddled up with their cat ... BFF 's !

 

 

 


 

Rupert went home with newly engaged couple Alicia & JC from our waiting list who's timeframe moved up to this month!

 They have already written to let us know he is settling in nicely!

"Hello everyone,
We just wanted to email to tell you how great Rupert did his first night home. He is such good boy. He cried for about 5 minutes and then not another sound all night. We are SO impressed! He was a little too big for our bathtub and climbed right out, so my handy fiancee built him an enclosure just like the ones you had in that room. It is working pretty well. 
He doesn't bark, he very rarely bites (and immediately stops once you tap him on his nose) and goes "hurry up" outside almost on demand.  We are just in awe at how good he is! Thank you so much for all the work you have already done with him before we brought him home :). We just love our little guy...he is perfect :)
We will send pictures soon.
Alicia and JC"

Dixie (DeeDee's only tri girl) has been adopted by Addeline & Henry! They sent an update!

 

Dear Miss Christina,
 
Henry and I are wondering what we did to deserve the most wonderful beagle puppy in the whole world!  We have you to thank because you not only raised her but you picked her out for us!  She has been so good and she is so beautiful we just sit and stare at her while she is sleeping.  She loves to take naps on our tummies but she also loves her crate--especially because we have a toasty heating pad in there wrapped in her care-package blanket. 
 
She gets stronger and faster everyday -- yesterday she got her toy bear out of her crate, leaped out of her pen with the bear in her mouth, and started wrestling with it.  She has, of course, caused a facebook frenzy because Henry has been posting pictures of her right and left!  We are exposing her to a lot of new things everyday so she can be stimulated and also a well-balanced dog who is not scared of loud noises, etc.  She doesn't mind the vacuum cleaner or the hair dryer and she doesn't even blink when there is a loud noise.  She has been sleeping in her crate with the door open at night so that she can get up to go pottie on the wee-wee pads.  She has an exercise pen around her to keep her safe.  Henry insists on sleeping on the couch next to her crate so that she won't feel alone while she still adjusts to not having her litter mates anymore.  She really adjusted to us pretty quickly--no crying just happy to be with toys and two human parents who adore her!  She also is a good eater so we like that.  Her favorite thing is to play with her toy raccoon which I put on a string.  I lift it up and down so she can practice stalking and pouncing.  She's amazing.  As you can see, we are very proud parents, and we have you to thank! 
 
If she has any litter mates or other puppy friends going to the triangle area in NC please feel free to give them our email if they want to get together and play! 
 
Love,
Addie (and Henry and Dixie)

 

We received an update from Maisy's "Johnny" who went home this Christmas!

 " Here are a few pictures of Johnny Christmas Day! He is doing wonderful! It was everything we hoped for on Christmas morning with him opening the box Johnny was in. Will was so excited and loves him so much already!

Thanks so much!"

 

Preparing for the New Puppy! Hint: If you are saving up newspapers for when you bring your new puppy home, toss out all the slick ones they are not absorbent and pups slip and slide in the tub  vs. the white pages which work real well during the still goin on paper phase, right after bringing the puppy home..

Over the next few weeks they can begin going outdoors too, then it  wont be long till they are used to your home & being crated at night (we advise you how to go about this when you pick up your puppy & you can also learn about this process by following our Tips pages!) , but at first it is great to have a few stacks of papers on hand ! 

( we also love it when folks think to bring some to us.. we are always appreciative of those ! You can only imagine how much paper we go through each day as our little ones learn to go over on the paper.) One gal brought a box with some wee wee pads when she came to board her Sunshine beagle with us .. boy did we appreciate those to hand to each person who was driving home far away with a little pup in the car..(makes it easier to have those on the floorboard than having to pit stop the minute the puppy wines to get out to go..) LOL !  we ran out, but sure would love more if anyone has some left their pet no longer uses !

When picking up your puppy by car its suggested to bring a cardboard box with papers in it or wee wee pads for the floorboards work well when and if needed .  Also Clorox wipes are handy if needed too- we have some if need one !! Some folks start out with their new puppy on their lap , or in a crate with plenty of toys and chew toys or treats to play with . 

We also advise folks to go directly to the spot in their yard where they want the puppy to "Go Hurry UP" right when you get home, put your puppy from the car on the grass or ground there.. let him or her sniff around and walk around so they dont just stand on your feet wanting to be picked up lol...    soon enough your puppy will decide to go since they was cooped up in the car and likely hasn't gone yet..  and you make a big deal out of saying good hurry up in a praise voice !! and give them kisses ! before long learning puppy will be thinking "they must like it when i go here... I want to go back to the same spot and remark it again ... and get all that praise again!" ..

 we give plenty of tips on this and all the phases involved in taking home a new puppy from us so it is a wonderful and easy transition for all members of the family as you bring in one of our babies to your home. Be sure to read through our guidance pages, follow our advice/guidelines/tips, and follow-up on any of the pointers for having one of our intelligent little sunshine acres beagles join your family as a companion for the next 15 years!

Someone once told me its like reading a soap opera every day...
I just cant wait to tune in !!   She said I love seeing who is available and when they get adopted just how perfectly they match the new family who convinced you all they would treat them the best... she said I know you have so many people wanting them, you have to try to determine who will spoil them, but give them discipline at the same time  so they turn out to be the perfect indoor housepet ! - so true !!

 

 

If you are the happy family of one of these cuties, remember that we love to receive updates and/or pictures whenever you can pass those along! We enjoy seeing how our puppies are fitting in & growing up in their forever homes!

 

 

 

 

Recent Happy Family Activity!

Hey!
 We just wanted to send a quick update on Wrigley Morehouse (from Daisy's last litter). Today Wrigley turned 6 months old! He is such a fun puppy and VERY smart. Tonight he graduated from his puppy beginner class at Petsmart. He completed his "test" like a champ! He is awesome at sit, stay, lay down, take it, leave it, drop it, come when called, cradle and massage, and even impressed his class with his "special tricks": shake and high-five! The only thing he struggles with is loose-leash walking because all he wants to do it play with the other puppies as he walks past them. We are working on this one though. Wrigley was by far the smallest puppy in his class even though he was the oldest. His buddy "Tucker" is a great dane, and his other friends "Lou" and "Abby" are both boxer girlies. They had a lot of fun together and everyone in his class is moving on to the intermediate class together in a couple weeks.

Thanks for giving us such an amazing puppy! He is a great addition to our family (definately like our little baby since we don't have any kids yet).

I have also attached Wrigley's graduation picture from tonight. He is such a cutie!!! We love him SO much!!!

~Leah Morehouse (and Jonny and Wrigley too!)

  • Abbey was adopted!
  • "Daisy" recently found a perfect matching home with a family who already had one of our beagles by Bonnie- a fixed male who needed a playmate like Daisy doggie to hang out with !
  • here the two are in her new home after a fun day of play they are best buds now !
  • "Punkin" went home with a family from charlotte who wanted a adult pet happy to be indoors with them !
  •  
  •   " Sugar" and "Tiger " both got to go home with the Mitchell's to be pampered and spoiled in their Athens home !  They had had two beagles before and decided to do it again and took both !
  • "Baby girl" found a great home after she finished raising her pup. Then they asked if we ever retired Carla to have her too !!
  •  
  •  mini "khaki" has found a great pet home! she hadn't had any puppies in years. Her new owner lives near the beach and had a neutered male beagle mix who needed a playmate/companion. By letting some of the adults go to great one on one homes we often get to keep a few upgrades on the line we are working to Develop. We've improved and now our khaki puppies shed less than she did and are more petite.

read about our many successful adult adoptions on the retire/rescue pages ahead... we sometimes also take in rescued beagles to find a good home for them rather than see them go to a animal shelter we love the beagle breed so much its the least we can do !
