Their eyes have opened & they like to give kisses now! They love playing together!

tri girl

tri boy

boy & girl

The morning of 5/5 we had announced on the website that Emma was in labor & had a girl and a boy tricolor and wrote "Lindsay, what do you think?" . As many of you probably do, she already checked the site, saw the announcement, and emailed us that a.m. saying...

Once the girl's pic were up we heard from her again!

We then added the boy's pictures, and of course, got the confirmation from the fam that these two babies will now be their "Carmen & Buckeye"

Dillon & Greyson 

 They went to Maine

these two boys were from different litters but similar in age and had played together and gotten along so well they made a great pair !

	The boys' new dad surprised his wife by going x-mas shopping in Bangor for the day , and stoping by the airport to pick them up ! here they are playing with the many toys and things he got for them to entertain them in the crate on their trip ! they didnt mind the trip a bit with all this cool stuff to do !
_________________________________________ ( shipping now days is very safe and animals are well treated by the airlines.. we dont send via cargo, we use petsafe or priority parcel so they have very little wait once they arrive before they are picked up)

weighing in at the airport ..

We've gotten updates on the boys!

"They arrived safe and sound....the folks at the ticket counter didn't want them to leave...they all wanted to play with them.  We have a nice playpen and crate set up for them downstairs where we watch TV and spend a lot of time with them.  Today I brought them to work with me!!"

Dillon's first snowfall	Dec 19 Hi!  We are so busy these days with our brand new babies!! They are growing so fast and are doing very well adjusting to the snow in Maine.  We took them to the vets last week and Dillon weighed in at 11lbs and Greyson topped out at 10.25 lbs!!! Here are some pictures of their new home in Greenville Maine!!   Season's Greetings!
"Dillon and Greyson are doing great, they've adjusted to the Maine winters, they love romping through the snow banks.  We bought them booties and sweaters for the really cold days but they don't stay out long enough so we don't use them a lot. " "They spend a few hours a day in the kennel...but most of the time they're with us on the sofa or sleeping with us in bed."

     "Harley" and sister "Jasmine" went together as a surprise..

   from Santa...

the new parents of these two decided to surprise their kids with two pups... and tell us they haven't been so excited about a Christmas as they are this time ever before... they couldn't wait to take their new family members home with them... mom said they keep going to Petsmart to look at all the fun things to get  the pups !!

"Jasmine" and "Harley" are both going to a local family in Monroe!

They just sent us an update and these cute pictures!

     Lucky and Chance 

Lucky and Chance  got to go to a lady who used to rescue beagles , she hears about our house pet variety beagles and decides to get herself two !

most rescued beagles are hunting dogs someone has tried to make a pet out of... she tells us it usually doesn't work out and they end up getting out of the owners yard and getting lost trying to track animals, they end up getting picked up as rescued dogs.
often the cycle repeats itself when they find a new home, and just do it again!!

 Spice's

Twins !!!

"Kloie", and "Bailey"

Cute story: Young Kevin from San Jose Calif. emails looking for a puppy, after a week or more of conversations online I realize he is the son, not the dad... so his mom and dad get into the picture and we send photos of the pups and look into shipping to their area..

After they decide on a tri color pup I mention she was a twin, born by c-section.  Their mother "Spice" was in labor all night after delivering one puppy and we rush her up to our vet at East Lincoln to have their assistance.  Dr. Redding comes out and tells me the reason she couldn't have the rest was due to twins in the same sack !! I had never heard of this, and she mentions its a 1st for her too.

Once they hear this they ask if her sis is still available.... and the rest is history, we were able to ship both in the same crate for no additional shipping charges for two.

   Kevin picking up his twins at the airport in Calif.

Kevin and the girls, and Kloie with Snowball, the family rabbit.	( Bailey's heart) cute marking !
In case you have any doubt two heads are better than one !!	How adorable are these little sisters !! We get emails from the Pleasant family telling us how much fun they are having with our special puppies and the pictures they send show it !!

Its perfectly fine to just get one ... but

beagles above all other breeds are happiest in a pack , it gives them someone who can offer constant on-tap attention,  to have a playmate of their own species.  Of course families nationwide that have lots of members, or ample time  to offer attention, and love to ONE puppy,   do it everyday and have wonderful success with their new family member .  Even  single people in Apts.  raise happy little buddies who eagerly await their owners return from work each day so they can give and get affection, and attention to their owner, to each his own, we say ... and somehow it all works beautifully for everyone...busy people tend to like to either choose slightly older pups,

so much of the work is done  on house training the new pet, crate training and so on ...has often started here....

as well as vet visits being out of the way and done already on the

 3-4 shots a new puppy must have done (and then a local rabies vac. until the dog is a year old and recieves a yearly booster shot to finish his first year of vet care.)

Or the other popular option seems to be choosing littermates, 2 boys is  a very popular choice now, or a brother and sister,  or two close in age available around the same time frame so they can grow up together and give the needed interface till their new owner has time to spend with them .

However you choose to add the love of a pet to your life, start out with one given plenty of TLC and  nurturing from day one... and  you wont go wrong.

 Bo & Daisy were sold to someone who had a friend with two of our beagles...

she decided to start with two to grow up together and keep each other entertained, and exercised,like her friend had suggested to her, and she had seen working for them so well.

   
 "Bo"  
  

  "Bo" and "Daisy", a tri female we still had from Platinums litter last summer both went home together! We had promissed to meet with her to see Abbeys pups, and all those we have right now... she knew we said chip was full throttle but she said so were her boys and that was what she wanted...

she also bought a tri girl we had for her step daughter and to keep chip company when she is busy... a second dog keeps you from feeling like you need to spend more time with your new pup...

They sent pictures!

 
This family took one for each son after reading the above beagle book which suggests two.

"We thank you for our beauties.   Still so glad for getting them at the same time, growing up together.  They are both going to ring the bell I hung near the door to let us know they need to go "hurry up".  They're so smart!"

 ELLIE AND SIFFY (Chicago sisters we shipped)

 (here the couple picks up their two puppies at the airport)

these pics were sent to us by  owner's of two girls in Baby Ones last litter .

these two cutie pies are our keeper "Sally"'s sister's from the same litter she was born into..

           
Baby's  grown girls, are Gorgeous Gal's
 What pretty girls they are !! and yet another example of how well it works out when our customer's have chosen their pets
with our help on-line! ! Getting two pups at once is really a great idea since they keep each other company while their folks are at work.

This couple recently relocated from England to the States. They came out to take this "Bernie" girl and khaki boy.

Pretty boy says "Pay no attention to her- I'm the best looking!"

 bye-bye          

"Lexi" and "Lulu"

TWO KHAKI KIDS

"Surprise son! - he thought we were going to the Mountains!!  We want two girls to replace our 14 year old German Shepard who recently passed on.  He kept saying this isn't the way to the mountains!"

         This color is so pretty!   

   "wait till your sister gets home.. she thinks she is going to Scareowinds today..!!   Surprise!!.. I don't think she'll make it today!"  We've already gotten an e-mail from the family.. both pups are having a great time in their new home on Lake Norman, and daughter Rachel claimed Lexi, as her's!  Recently the family e-mailed to say the dogs love boating on the lake, they each wear their life vests of course mom says!

 Bueno and Bella

the Aquino family drives down to pick up their two pups from Va.  they had to leave their Lab in Puerto Rico.

 we just got a note telling us how wonderful the two are and thanking us

for them along with photos of them grown up now.  We always love hearing from our customer's and seeing our kids photos !

 Bueno and Bella

Ace and Rocky

Nan has two different family friends in her Myers Park neighborhood with our beagles, so she decided to come pick out

two little boy pups for her two sons...

"Ace" and" Rocky" come to board with us when the family travels .. we love getting to see our babies as they grow up ! the two boys keep each other company and even like to share a crate to take a nap in, after a big day of playing outside with our doggies.
our  mini Little Man on left, and Rocky on right	Little Man, Rocky and Ace take a break from playing

   this couple decided to surprise their kids with two sisters for  Christmas so they overnight express mailed us a deposit before the litter was born to reserve first pick of the new puppies we expected for x-mas !!  After going to the U-2 Concert in Atlanta over the weekend they came by to choose their girls on the way back to Brevard NC . where the family lives..

 They picked out Trooper's chocolate and tri colored females to join them. 

     "Rosco & Dolly"

        Dolly went to go join Rosco !     

mom and dad had decided it was time to get a puppy for their daughter's Birthday ...

Dad e-mailed us with his wishes, from his job in Iraq... as a retired military contractor..

so we set a time to meet and mom drove over from the coast... 6 hours ... each way...

we showed the pups we had to her daughter and no , no... not that one... hum.... then we showed her Rosco !

oh boy her face lit up ! that is the ONE !! she knew from the moment she held him..

well mom liked lemon Dolly, but Emily had made her mind up.. so they took him home... and in a  few days

we got a call... mom couldn't stop thinking about Dolly... can I pay pal you a deposit to hold her for me?

I cant believe I am volunteering to drive another 12 hours... this weekend too.. but I want that puppy !

so back they came and now Rosco and Dolly are keeping each other company and having a great time !

and everyone is happy... mom says when the kids grow up and go off we will be back for more !

 These two rare colored puppies went to Asheville for Christmas gifts !  Later the family's friends Sierra, and  her mom

got in line for a Khaki puppy after being referred to us, and falling in love with these guys.

 word of mouth is our best source of new families for our precious puppies !

Dad comes when the pups are tiny and picks out his 2

then comes back to take them home a few days before Christmas.

COME TO SEE US!   @ 

Prize's  litter . Already sold since birth "Henry" who will be a playmate for one of Silky's female puppies.

She works for Bank America, he works for First Union, and they decide to get two puppies, a Khaki of Silky's and a Tri-color of  Prize's, they travel a lot so we babysit  Sophie . till Thanksgiving when Henry is ready to go, and they are home. 

      Finally the day arrives to take their kids home.
They tell me they picked up lots of film to take pictures of their babies to send to the new grandparents!!   

Tracey says its great having two so they can have a playmate to entertain them while the couple
 is at work, they live in a Condo next to a nice park where they plan to take plenty of walks. 

Carrot and Chip ride home to Pennsylvania together!

"  Carrot "

"Chip"

this lady e-mailed us looking for a rare colored puppy and we told her about carrot and chip, and after conversing back and forth and sending her pictures of the pups growing up etc, she decided to send a pay pal deposit to hold chip.. then she found a friend who was also recovering from Rotator cup shoulder surgery and off work right now recovering.., they took a day to drive down and meet the pups! He obviously had not seen our web site and didn't realize the way we hand raise our puppies...

when they got close he called on the cell phone to get my input in directions.. -vs.-the mapquest version which adds a good 45 minutes to the drive...as we talked he admitted he was amazed anyone would drive this far to get a pup.
Once here he said don't they have beagles in Penn. to her, and she and I looked at each other and said not like these !!

After holding them and seeing how calm and cuddly both were we talked about how they keep each other company when they are alone, and she decided to get both the male and the female siblings !! as I say there is no toy that can replace a buddy to play with when you aren't available !

She loved his blue eyes and  carrots dark ones ... the two were already sleeping away from mom in my tub at night together, she mentioned reading below that we take credit card company checks and asked if that would be ok.  We said sure.. so she did all three options... paid by pay pal to hold a pup, brought cash for chips balance, and paid with a credit card check... but what mattered to all of us was how well it all worked out..

she has since written to us to tell us how wonderful the puppies were on the way home that day.. letting them know when to stop between naps.. and doing so well in the car going back to PA.
We even convinced her friend there is a difference in our beagles .. our years of selective breeding to develop calm, cuddly, sweet temperaments, shorter gorgeous fur, smaller sized house pets with no emphasis on hunting and tracking abilities, rather on becoming good family members socialized with other animals and kids has made our bloodline of companion pets very special...
I asked him where he got his jack russell terrorist and he said in a Pet store.. that's what you do up north..
but then you have no idea who , or how your puppy was raised..

Exactly !!

Santana & Thunder (2007)

 this young man and his Dad drove down from near DC so they could choose a male tri colored puppy by Precious.

They e-mailed back and said they wanted two! So Thunder gets to go home with them  to DC. too!

..............

Dad had been doing substantial research on the matter and decided since they are quite a busy family to bring home a puppy who needs a lot of attention and stimulus ..it would be easier on them to have brothers to raise together, he asked his vet , and read everything he could find on getting one vs two ...

and came to the conclusion a lot of people do .. it would actually be easier to raise 2 puppies than one !!

the two brothers are already close and it will make raising them for a busy family a lot easier.

 the 2 bothers cuddle to stay warm and cozy..!!

you feel less guilty when you have to be away from them if there is a sibling keeping them company and entertaining them for you till you return.

  It doesn't keep them from bonding with human family member's since the relationship for them is different with animals and people...
puppies begin life dependant on mom for everything .. and when they join us they are still very dependant..

their needs are fairly simple,
food, water, sleep, exercise/ stimulus, a sense of routine to an extent..
boundaries..rewards..
companionship, and nurturing..
this comes from several sources..
in a pack it can come from their parents, grandparents and other mature animals , and to some degree the siblings , and younger animals in their group.

Human's take over as master and companion both,  BUT - we offer something special
we meet all their needs from the day they come home with us !

You cant find that in a sibling...
so you the new owner cant be replaced by a playmate...

You are the main focus they learn to anxiously await you,   in order to Please you.. this becomes their main goal in life now...
so you will  continue to provide for them...they cant replace you with a pal...
 the Pal doesn't bring home the bacon.. new master does.. end of story.

its just that getting that second puppy is a good idea because.. they do  make meeting the exercise, and stimulus on a daily basis....
 much easier on the new owner..

a sibling is available 24/7,

 unlike their new owner,
 no matter who it is..

 busy single parent in an apt... family with lots going on... Career oriented couple with no kids ... ;

for many people getting a second puppy when they come home with the first is the way to go..

It's a no brainer,
He always has his brother there to keep him content when you aren't home or are busy with something else.

Reno before his eyes were open @ 2 weeks.

    Reno  

they just get cuter and cuter as they grow older,..................he is reeeally laid back ...!!!!

Michael rubs some toys on Precious to take her scent home
to DC. with the two brothers.

"My son has been home this past week from college for spring break, so it’s been great having him around.  He loves the pups.  He said he is so happy we got both and could not imagine not having done so.  I feel the same."

 "Paisley" & "Tanner" went to Debbi & Gene from CA!

Paisley as a newborn

  awwe. Look at those short lil legs! "Paisley" 

newborn mini khaki boy "Tanner"

oh my goodness such sweet peas...!  I could squeeze um to pieces !!!

Debbi & Gene flew to NC from CA Monday night! They rented a car & made a road trip out of it, traveling to Indiana to visit with family & show off their two new babies. Then they flew back home with the puppies to Cali. They were able to take small crates on the flight with them and were be able to see them the whole way home!

" Hi All, 
Thank you so much for the kind words!  I am so glad we got to meet you too!  It is always better to meet the people you send your babies home to!  We are just over the moon with the puppies!  We have been enjoying their frolicking in the grass and jumping like little bunnies all around each other!  You would just die they are so dang adorable!  They are eating like little piggies!  I have to watch Paisley cuz she will steal Tanner's food right out of his own bowl!  Little devil!  But we truly are just as happy as can be.  You have no worries!  I will love them forever as will Gene.  They are our children now and they have our hearts and love....."

" I wanted you to see these pix that I took at the hotel~ Gene is having as much fun as I am with the sweetpeas.  It is a crack up to see them get ready to go to sleep.  Paisley finds her place first and then Tanner lays right across her!  They must be touching at every nap!  I love, love, love them!!!!!!  I am so in love with them!  Did I mention I love them?????"

6/29/07 "Hi Christina and kids,
My daughter brought my grandson Jaxon over yesterday to meet the puppies. We weren't sure how the puppies would do with a baby and vice/versa! It was so much fun to watch the interaction between the puppies and Jaxon. Paisley is absolutely in love with Jaxon! She was chasing him all over the place and kissing him on the nose. Tanner was a bit more reserved...he didn't know what to do with the flailing arms and fast chasing of a crawling baby! LOL! They were just so precious together and Jaxon thought the puppies were the bees knees! They were so worn out last night after a play date with Jaxon that they slept from 9:00 pm until 5:00 am this morning! I think I'll let my grandbabies wear them out all the time! LOL! They are the best puppies ever! We just love them!

Blessings, Debbi "

They sent pictures!

Can you tell they really are "Twins"???  LOL!  My precious little pups!  Just 2 of a kind and spoiled rotten!  LOL!

 

Love, Deb

 

 The Triplets!

Three sisters got to go home to Georgia together where there are also 3 kitties in the home!
the couple said , well we had to get each cat a puppy!! LOL !

  "Windy Grace"

 Chocolate mini Female  

.
"Pst... I got Georgia on my mind"

  "Stormy Breeze"
 
 Silver mini Female

  Tricolor female

The triplets and their orange friend "Sally" from Smooches' litter on right (both the standard and the mini litter were born on the same day.)

These sisters will be spoiled rotten we could tell , and be very  close to their new parents.

 the couple drove up and stayed  in a hotel overnight so they can head home early in the am..

we suggested the Holiday Inn Express in Monroe NC. they have in the past been a great place for our customers to stay overnight since they allow pets, some folks have just come out to pick up our pups and let them sleep in the tub with paper and a bed and toys overnight... so that they can leave out early in the morning and get home with some daylight left.

Here they are picking up their precious pampered pets to go to the hotel room in Monroe. Georgia wanted her two tiny rare colored pups , and hubby wanted another tri pup like he had years ago.. so they got um all and  promised to spoil um forever !

The couple also brought the kids and I a surprise each, a card written  from our baby beagles saying   goodbye , and a cute souvenier with a hidden pocket inside was a Fifty dollar bill to each of us...to go splurg and have a good time on them,  for doing such a good job hand raising their new darlings  !

( Often folks get more than one baby from us, when they are empty nesters , we love the idea that our little ones will be so well loved, as if they were their new kids !)

wow we love our job sometimes it feels like we are a serogate mom and our baby is being adopted..its not easy to let them go..

 but great folks like these convince us it is all worth it,  and they will be well cared for just like we would do it  .

"Hello There!
We know you are busy as are we with ONLY three babies.  We could not love
our little girls more....but somehow we do love them more every passing day.
They are such a joy.  They were a HUGE hit at our vet today.  EVERYONE was
just in awe of them.....The resident rescue beagle belonging to our vet,
named "Bacon Bit" who started out as "little bit" but got very obese  and
was renamed to "Bacon bit", played and played with our little girls in the
examining room and then they all scampered off to the surgery room and the
accountant's office for attention there.   The girls were so tired when we
returned home.   They are sleeping now. Here are a few pictures.  We have
only taken about 300 in two weeks so you can understand why some may look
the same.
Just wanted you to know we all are very happy.  Hope your babies and mommies
are doing well too.
Love, hugs, and kisses to all the furry creatures,
Randy and Georgia Cox"

"Bindi" & "Bosley" go home together!

Orange Female ( runt size)

First this sweet heart was claimed by our waiting list family from NJ. They had emailed about her to let us know their interest, and waited patiently for any news regarding getting a new baby!

 "Congratulations on Allie's new litter!  The pups are real cuties!
I have become quite addicted to the website and am staying up way too late looking through all the past happy families with their puppies.  I really like the follow up pictures that show the puppies as they grow up!  It's nice to know that I can follow along with the new puppies that I am becoming attached to online!
 Anyway, after reviewing practically every puppy and dog on your website (which is really a fun endeavor!) I just had to email again to tell you how beautiful Eclipse's orange female runt puppy was, especially with all the white markings.  I truly believe that I can provide her with a very caring and safe home!  For some reason I feel this was meant to be.  (That really sounds corny, doesn't it?) :)
I am now going to be patient.  I know no matter what happens I will end up with a beautiful Sunshine Beagle Puppy who will be adored by my family and I!
 Thanks for listening!
Tammy Hamilton"
 

 Like magic, their turn came up and when they saw our 'its your turn' e-mail one morning and Tammy woke the  whole family at 6am to joyously dance around the house about the good  news the puppy they adored on the website was available to them to claim as their own !! It literally brought tears to my eyes to read her happy note this am after a long night watching over Cara's newborn litter  here in Puppy Central !

"ABSOLUTELY YES, YES, YES!!!  We want to claim Eclipse's runt orange female as our new baby!  You cannot believe how excited I was to see your email when I woke up this morning.  I immediately got the whole family up (at 6am on a Saturday!) and we are dancing around the house!!  My daughter has named her "Bindi" and my son agrees with her, so Bindi it is!  I still cannot believe she is ours.  We have been following her everyday online!!!"

  "Bindi" named by Cassey and Josh !

This girlie is very petite, and will likely be a runt size , much like our "Grace" since they are out of Lillie's line of offspring we know she has the ability to make some very small sized pups, and so should her daughter Eclipse.

The family loved that she has lots of white on her this is called an open marked beagle, we think she is going to be gorgeous  just like her beautiful momma Eclipse!

  "Bosley"

 Tri Mini Male with wider blaze & spot in his blaze

As time went on, we hadn't placed Bosley into a family yet, and Bindi's family wrote us to inquire.

"One last question regarding mini Carla's mini tri male pup Bosley.  We have also fallen in love with this guy.  My kids loved the pictures of him and Bindi together.  I know that you do not allow people to take pups of different sexes home together.  (If you did we would take him in a heartbeat with Bindi!)  We just wanted to know if anyone was showing an interest in him.  We have grown a little too attached!"

We carefully considered their request, and after seeing how well the two little ones got along, snuggled together, and trully seemed to have an attachment to each other, we felt it would be a good placement for these two babies and agreed with the idea of them being together!

She and Bosley go home together, her new owner is a Doctor, and we are confident they don't plan to breed our babies so we let them have  opposite sex companions.. the two pups got along great together it was meant to be..

Ultimately it is up to us who gets our sunshine acres beagles, as we try to find the right match for each of our babies.

"We had a fabulous drive home!  The puppies loved traveling in the car and didn't even cry the first night at the hotel!  We couldn't have hoped for better puppies.  They were SO good!  We are all 100% in love with them.  I will send some pictures tomorrow!"

"WOW!!!

Taking two beautiful Sunshine Acres puppies at the same time was a fabulous idea!  Bindi & Bosley are making everything so easy for us.  They love to play together until they wear each other out and fall asleep together in their bed!  Neither puppy has cried once at night because they are scared or lonely.  Also, two at once is not taking away from our bonding time with them.  They both love to be held and cuddled by our family!     

House training is also going well.  Both pups were already experts at using the paper for potty time before they arrived at our house.  Making the transition to our selected outdoor area is well underway!

We still can't believe how little they are.  All I want to do is hold them!   
We are having an invisible fence put in this week around the perimeter of our property.  Although our yard has an aluminum fence, I'm afraid the puppies may get out between the slats.  The puppies will be trained when they turn 10 weeks.  It will be fun to have the puppies in the front yard with us once the invisible fence is all set!

I am included some pictures that we have taken with this email.  A second email immediately following includes the rest of the pictures.

1.  Driving in the car
2.  The hotel
3.  Our kitchen
4 - 6.  Our bedroom and their sleep area

Thanks for the perfect beagle babies!

Tammy"
