Introducing Eve

Eve is a small runt sized mommy, she was the runt of her litter by Velvet, and has had tricolors, chocolates, silvers, and khakis in Runt size (slightly smaller than standard), Mini size, and Nano size babies!

Her litter is expected for Christmas Break Homecomings!

Eve's Tri colored Girl

The Birkshire family has claimed their favorite little girl they plan to name her Annabelle !

Hello,

I can't begin to tell you how excited we are, we'll be going shopping tonight or tomorrow to start getting ready for her, since I'll be flying up to Maine on Thursday and will be there for the next three weeks. I'll be making a list from the suggested items on your website,but I wanted to get a stuffed toy to send to her so she'll have something familiar with her when we bring her home and I was wondering if there was anything else you would recommend sending now. Biscuits or anything else for her to enjoy. We will be getting back from Maine on January first, so I don't think we'll be able to come pick her up until the 7th or 8...as hard as it will be to wait!!! I think we're going to call her Annabelle, a face that sweet needs a name that's just as sweet to go along with it :) Anyway, if you could just let me know what I can send that would be great, along with any other information that we need to know, of course. Again, thank you so much, we are absolutely thrilled!!!

Eve hangs out inside at Christmas time as her puppies wean and she jumps in to visit them less and less

"Hi Ms. Christina, I noticed that Eve just had another litter and I just thought Id update you on one of her babies from her previous litter!

Snicket is almost 7 months old now and she is doing so well! She has learned a few tricks like sit, laydown, roll over, and high five! She learned them all in just a few minutes too, shes a very smart little girl. The last time I took her in for a vet visit the vet asked where I got her and said that you all make really great pets! She is as healthy as a horse too! I have never had a puppy quite like her. She is such a cuddler and always wants to be close to me (she is currently snoozing under my knees while I write this!) and we love to take naps together! But she loves to play too and is always ready to go play with her friends at the dog park, but of course, she has to make the rounds with all the people before she says hello to the other dogs. She is so friendly Im glad I wasnt in the market for a watchdog (although she does like to bark at the dogs on tv)!!

Everyone who meets her comments to me about how beautiful she is and how luxurious her coat is. When I tell people she is nearly full grown at 15 pounds I always get oohs and ahhs at her perfect little size :) She is happy, healthy, and such a lover! She just loves to give kisses and loves to be held. I have never seen another dog that relishes being held the way she does!

Thanks so much for my perfect little pet!

Kristi Hewitt and Snicket"

Hi Miss Christina,
I wanted to give you an update on Ginger. (She was a gift from Santa for our 2 boys in Harrisburg NC).   We were able to pull off the surprise for the kids, she was tucked away under the tree (fast asleep) on Christmas morning. Everyone in the house immediately fell in love with her!
We have had her for over 5 months now and she is a wonderful addition to our family. She is house-trained and crate trained. We have Contain-A-Pet "invisible" fencing in the back yard. She just LOVES playing outside with the boys. One of her favorite past times is tossing her toys around the backyard and chasing them. Of course she loves chasing bugs, birds and chewing on sticks. We have a wooded area in our backyard and there are quite a few rabbits around. I cannot help but laugh at the fact that she completely ignores the rabbits!   I have seen them hop within several feet of her and she is oblivious!   (Just confirmation for you that you have successfully created a line of beagles that are NOT rabbit hunters!!) :)
Ginger starts her obedience training this week at a local kennel. (We need to work on some basic manners with her, but I have no doubt that she will be a fast learner).
I have to tell you that everywhere I take her people always tell me what a beautiful Beagle she is, and they comment on her great markings. I proudly tell them that she is a Sunshine Acres puppy!
Lastly, I wanted to ask you about her shedding, I know it's pretty common in beagles, but I wanted to check with you to see if you had any tips on how to reduce the shedding. She still eats the Eukanuba puppy formula- so I know she is getting the high quality food. I have heard that you can feed them one cooked egg a week to reduce it, but I wanted to check with you for some recommendations.
I am attaching a few pictures, thanks for this wonderful addition to our family.
Thanks!!

Reply Note from Miss C:

hey guys!!!

thats amazing she was fast asleep under the tree.. goodness what a photo too cute !!

is that the type of inv. fence you place a unit and it emits a signal in a circle...around the house? and too cool to hear that about the rabbits.. i was just talking to a fellow about rabbit dogs being all the other guys are breeding for around here... wish you could snap a pic of that for the web site woo hoo !!

we had a pup years back that would go camping and they wouldnt even take his leash he would sit near them , well one morning he went down a trail a bit and they watched him .. relieve himself .. turn and a rabbit was right there... they said oh gosh what should we do?? he looked at it and then turned his attention to a butterfly... they laughed so hard ...he was a true disgrace to his breed but a tribute to us working to delete that interest !! ha .

as far as shedding goes the rare colored ones often shed the least.. of course all do have to loose winter coats and summercoats during parts of the year.. but eukanuba is best i have talked to other breeders who swear by it for helping with that due to the omega 3 fish oils in it.. you can use some liquid called..

Natural care vitaderm shed and itch relief... its to go on food and does seem to be beneficial too.. i give grace our salmon skins when we eat it..too!

we are still working on better less shed tri colored coats and have made them shorter in many lines we have but only a few have really equally less shedding fur to the rare colors ...( of course there have to be many ancestors of rare colored beagles in a bloodline so some are better than others... ) not all rare colored ones are as good as others just like with people there are variables to consider..) hopefully right now its just the warmer weather making her loose winter fur...

we are so happy to have made such a wonderful xmas morning for your kids and additon to your family thanks so much for sharing this !!!

"..He has grown into SUCH a handsome boy. People comment all the time on how good looking he is. And he just has the best personality...such a lover. A friend came over who was having a rough time and Charlie seemed to sense in and just gave him nothing but love and snuggles - didn't leave his lap. Puppy therapy is such a real thing. Charlie saves on heating bills by keeping my bed warm in the winter ;) and I have reached a new level of hatred for Mondays when I have to go to the office and leave him after a fabulous weekend of fetch and snuggles. I think of you all so often and cannot begin to express how thankful I am for all you do to raise such incredible dogs. Charlie has improved my life in countless ways..."

pretty " Eve" has such cute little white paws !!
