Sunshine Acres Beagle puppies
Miss Christina and son Cody met with the Smiths from Colfax NC. to see our currently available puppies
(" Lance", below on a lap)
and now adopted "Monty" playing in grass yard with his new owner and son , known as "Blaze " by his new family .
We all decided older Monty was the best fit since he already knows how to go out a doggie door , and has had most all his vet work completed .

He enjoyed running around with their boy and fetching , the younger pup wasn't as big and experienced and didn't interact yet on the same level of attentive responses to playing :) they were excited to take him home to their nice big grassy yard and doggie door from a sunroom he can enjoy with them this Fall .

we got to see Blaze and his new family again , when they dropped him off to board with us while they vacationed with family at Carolina Beach . We enjoy having folks come back so we can stay in touch with our happy families over the years, and watch as the pups grow into great family pets in each of their adoptive homes across the country.
Best Buds already, in just a week, we loved seeing the pair interact and the "good bye till I get back", kiss , was adorable !!!
( we love helping make great additions to Families )

Around Sunshine Acres Beagles ….
out in the countryside our days revolve around the little ones learning …
|
|
we aren't in a hurry to let our angels go …
we love spending quality time with them before they leave us to go into their new homes..
we love spending quality time with them before they leave us to go into their new homes..

one at a time they find great homes as they are ready, with us their well being comes first and foremost over specific timeframe/dates . we aren't about making sales, we are looking for the best fit for each of our little ones.
Mother Nature is in control and we choose to work with
those accepting of that, and understanding that we do our best to meet adoption days hoped for
but with a living creature its not up to us. Flexibility is desired in those we approve for adoptions.

taking time out to let them fall asleep on a lap …
to learn its ok to trust people and human contact is warm and loving . |
we enjoy working with folks who appreciate our focus is not on sitting at a desk , making sales , or talking on a cell phone . but rather with our learning babies , those are the ones who we like to see adopt our darlings.. |
our constant repeat customer's keep us busy finding their next love to enjoy...
|
we were just contacted by a young man who sent his family
photo holding his dad's gift to mom last year. He told us how amazing their khaki beagle is and that he is interested in one of his own now too ! they are like Lays Potato chips .. you cant just have one lol youll want more once you have one sunshine beagle :) |
new families also contact us and share their home life details in order to be preapproved for their own little bundle of Joy from our line of companion Pet beagles .
this family asked for a chocolate girl during the kids break from school... we cant always promise we will have a certain color, or size, or gender in those preferences so we ask that folks just become approved now and open to the available puppies on the currently available page. Our waiting list has pretty much been satisfied now and once approved you can let us know when you see a favorite youd like to claim. being on our radar we are able to quickly let you know if your favorite can be claimed :)

Marley's new family has had 2 sunshine beagles, when the oldest passed Margaret told us they wanted to find Jack a new buddy to follow him around , and learn from him, and to join their sunshine beagle loving family .
|
Margaret tells Miss C.s son Cody they fell in love with Jack years ago seeing him curled up on young codys lap as he played video games. She says now to this day when he curls up on my lap I think o f how you started him out so young being a lap dog
and he still loves it. |

another happy adoption from sunshine beagles to repeat customers getting another sweetheart from our family.
another happy adoption from sunshine beagles to repeat customers getting another sweetheart from our family.
Krysta from Lake Norman NC. brings her khaki mini beagle to board with us while they go to Amelia Island. They met with our courier to pick up their khaki beagle pup from our Georgia Location where she was raised.
when they picked up their little gal after their trip it was Miss C.'s kids weekend home at sunshine acres to celebrate daughter Christi's April Birthday visit from Chapel Hill.
Having to stay home to be here to meet with them on their way thru Monroe from the beach to their Mooresville Home Miss c wasn't able to run to town from out here in the Country to shop for Yummy stuff for the Birthday girl , and Cody and his wife Nefies visit ..
so they steped in and brought all kinds of goodies for our celebration here !
we have the sweetest adopting families we have been so blessed to work with over the years … thank the Lord
We love working with empty nesters like single Suzette who got a pair of sibblings to keep her company once the kids were grown.
Having 2 sunshine beagles gives her a way to not feel bad if she is busy , they always have each other to play with till mom gets back 
Selectively bred to be companion Pets and family members. chocolate Zack and tri colored Zoey

Single gal "Duffy" in Folly beach sends us the best pictures of her adorable mini khaki beach beagle chillin with her and keeping her company between their 2 homes . they love the mountains too and she is the perfect easy to lift and carry size to take everywhere @16lbs.
She is happy and doing amazing. No problems with anything....steps, harness, leash walks.
She's fabulous! Duffy in Folly Beach SC 
We mainly get requests from Water Front and Beach goers for our gorgeous short less shedding fur khaki mini beagles like "Frannie"
our courier drove up to meet Duffy in Augusta from our South Ga. location to hand deliver her so mom could make an easy day trip to pick up her new little girl. I couldn't be happier with Frannie and her disposition, sweet, loving, playful, busy but not too much. I brought her home at eight weeks and she slept thru the night.
She has been easy to train. She is an extremely happy dog and so adorable. I am so happy that I chose a beagle! She is a wonderful companion. I travel frequently and she goes everywhere with me. Christina, Lauren, Christie and everyone at Sunshine Acres and Sunshine South does an amazing job! They even had a courier service to help me since I am single and didn't want to make a long trip for myself or my new puppy. Everyone was very thorough and accommodating thru the whole process. Duffy Folly Beach, SC 
its hard to spot Frannie on their hike in the Mountains,
near her second home she visits with her owner.... almost like a "Where's Waldo" picture you have to really look to find her . LOL !!! she is kinda Steathly like that lol...
Miss Christina & niece Lauren of Sunshine South Beagle Puppies where our line of house pet beagles raised in Georgia are growing up for us to place in pet homes across the country.
Both Lauren and brother Little James grew up helping us
( their cousin's ) raise up our unique line of beagles in rare colors , and more traditional tri colored beagles, for us to place in good homes across the us . 
this tri boy raised up at sunshine south in ga. by Lauren
from our line of housepet beagles we sent down to help her get her location going , went home to Racine WI. to a couple who joined our waiting list for a tri color beagle boy with a wide blaze... we knew he would be the one when he was born :) |
last Christmas we had multiple returning customer's come back for another sunshine beagle baby,
two young ladies joined our preapproved list for one of their own since they were children when their own families adopted one . Now that they are grown and starting their own family units they came back to sunshine acres to adopt another of our hand raised beagle puppies to be their first and furry child to practice on :) |
when the kids came home for Christmas Break we were holding onto Blake a little longer for his family and daughter Christi loved spending time with this handsome boy raised by her cousin in ga. adopted in nc going to WI.
to a preapproved waiting list couple who adore this fellow.

Miss Christina House pet Beagle Breeder 25 plus years working to develop Home Body's, couch potatoes, and Loving Lap Dogs.
& Athletic Large Standards for active singles too ! 
son Cody does "Pet Therapy in Charlotte NC. "
for ladies in a senior living center . Everyone enjoys some tail waggin companionship :) and fond memories of younger days when they had a pet. a Gentleman from up North contacted Miss C to ask if we had someone who could do a visit to his mother over the Holidays with a cute Beagle Puppy! He said she always kept him in Beagles growing up lol... and knew it would bring back some good times. 
both single mom Miss Christina's kids have helped raise our families litters over the years and developed a love of the beagle breed. We enjoy sharing what our families passion is with others.
daughter Christi enjoys a litter of cuties we raised here in Monroe NC. in the warm sunshine .

Cyan's orange boy was raised in Moultrie and we placed him from our home in nc. he went to a young couple with an older beagle boy who needed company.
Patience's khaki mini boy was raised in Ga. and his owner from the Miami area met our courier in Orlando to pick him up in order to surprise her son with his new best bud ! she ran up to pick him up and met her son and nephew at a park with his new Puppy !
Dad contacted Miss C. telling her he was deployed in the Coast Guard
and wanted his son to have a best buddy to keep him company while he was away... being from south florida they picked a khaki mini boy so he could handle the heat from sunshine better , and fit right into their townhouse lifestyle. now mom tells us they cant imagine life without their little super hero ! Often we have young couples start with a puppy. "Jill's" khaki colored Jeremy" went to a couple who has his big sis by "Jill " from her last litter she had for us a year ago here in nc. their first sunshine beagle below orange Winnie is a rare colored beagle too
This time the litter was raised in Ga. at sunshine south beagles, and came up to be adopted at Sunshine Acres in Monroe , they came out to meet him and leave things for him, before heading to a wedding in Willmington and then returning for him , they live in nearby Char. 
both the couples dogs came from the same reputable beagle breeder sunshine beagles , and both from the same mother dog just a year apart in age :)
so big sis can help raise up little khaki brother before they have any human kids. and once they do ,, the sibling rare colored beagles will have each other while the couple raises their children with some acquired experience :) |
our family has grown up loving beagle puppies and helping raise and develop our unique bloodline of beagle house pets for families
Miss C. adopted Angel who stuck around our Woodinville Wash.acreage Property off leash and went to parks and rv parks with us without even bringing one with us, she minded so well .
|
|
25 plus years of work developing housepet beagles for happy family indoor companionship .
|
cody and Christi play as youngsters in Seattle where our unique line began from companion dog CDX champion lines.
these dogs were not designed to track and hunt the way my previous hunting background beagle was and stuck around as the kids grew up in \Washington State before we brought our unique line back to the south for pet homes across the country to enjoy as companions. 
|
we raise our babies to be family members who are content at home with you by the fireplace.
|
|
son Cody helps teach our pups to enjoy hanging out with kids while they play video games :)
Daughter Christi has grown up loving beagles first in Seattle Wash
then moving to the south to Fla, and NC.
Christi continues to contribute her help when she is available between internships and finishing her duo Masters studies at Chapel Hill , back in Copenhagen again this summer :)
anytime you saw Christi growing up at sunshine acres she tended to have a cute puppy in her arms or on her lap ..
|
she almost disappears in this cute shag carpet look dog bed .
Bet that feels snuggly in wintertime :) 
Often our khaki beagles like pregnant mom Patience (shown laying on her big belly chewing a rawhide ) have our unique less shedding shorter coats. they tend to be much softer than tri color beagles Longer course fur tends to be in most traditional beagle lines who were not choosing breeding stock based on coat quality for indoor companionship , rather they choose for hunting instinct and tracking ability . fur that comes out helps hound dogs get loose from the Briar Patches they go in after rabbits ... so shedding isn't one of their worries in other kennels for beagles.
we love sharing what our family has worked to develop for loving Family Companion Pet Beagles with patient , and loving happy families everywhere.
|
repeat customer's from vegas use their credit card points to fly Christi out with their second sunshine beagle puppy, the family owns a restaurant and has her stay a few days to tour the town with their same age daughter before she leaves ... neato !
|
we love the many friendships our family has enjoyed over the yrs with our extended beagle loving pack across the country.
it means a lot to us when folks share what they do with our family since they are getting to adopt what we do from our family to theirs. |

Our Original Location in North Carolina is

we also have family in Georgia near the florida line we work with in developing our
line of Companion Pet Beagles in Ga . and when caring for her folks Miss C is in Naples Florida,
we have available beagle puppies for sale in Florida,and surrounding areas.
we work one at a time to make a wonderful experience and lifetime of happiness ,
and continued contact as our little furry kids grow up across the USA. and beyond.... :)

Flexibility is key to a successful adoption when involving animals , and those who are open to considering other colors
or sizes also help with our job of making the right matches happen.

the Overton's were able to adopt a silver mini girl for their daughter to enjoy this summer. they had been on the approved waiting list since 2015. when we had matches they were moving or in apartments that didn't allow a pet. Each time they passed ... this time when we had their match they asked this house rental's landlord and she changed her mind and said no dogs though she agreed to it when they moved in ..
so they decided to move in with a dear uncle they care for and be closer to tonya's mom so they could have a pet at long last ! it actually worked out great we offered them this match since they are really really happy they decided to move and now everyones closer and enjoying the new family member . Mysterious ways :) |
|
they are so happy with their little girl that Tonya sent
daughter Christi a starbucks gift card , and a game stop gift card to Cody , the kids plan to find a game each can enjoy and share :) |

Hi Christina-
Thanks for sending the AKC paperwork for Gracie’s parents. It was a pleasure meeting Lauren on Saturday. She did an excellent job with Gracie. We are having so much fun with her already. She truly is an amazing Gracie. The first night at home, she put herself to bed and she’s slept through the night without a peep both nights. Not what we were expecting from a new puppy. She’s having fun chasing our daughters dog around and playing with his toys. She’s fit into our home perfectly. Such a wonderful dog.

Promise's khaki mini boy "Gracen"
.
|
Miss Christina is crazy about this darling "Mini Me " to Grace, and wants him for a future sire so he can keep Grace's line going now that she and her daughter Hope and son Little Man II. and Promise no longer will have litters for us . His shorter fur is soooo nice and less shedding, and his demenor is great . He will be a wedding gift for son Cody to enjoy as he moves back home to the Log Cabin we own next door to our office. once his Americore assignment in Asheville is completed , to continue doing boarding here for our sunshine acres customers.
|
|
|
he is related to Grace who is now retired to a terrific pet home along with her grand daughter Gracie who we never bred.
A very loving couple asked for her when Miss Christina needed to be down with her parents both in their 90's caring for them,
and couldn't take a dog .
Given as a wedding gift to the newlyweds Cody and Nefie to keep them company in the log cabin next door to sunshine acres nc.
Gracen can keep her line alive for us when he grows up . He will have her super soft fur, everyone who met GraceDog ,
and petted her loved , as much as her personality and size :)
and as an upgrade to her coat..., he has a very Less shedding coat. Not all animals are alike , just like in human families,
our sibblings can have blond straight hair , while we have black curly hair.. from the same parents . And with breeding to improve colors, and coat lengths , texture, and thickness etc. Its not a perfect science its a goal to work toward dogs that don't tend to shed as much.
What does come out after winter as summertime causes an animal to adjust its warmth /thickness , a shorter piece of hair is less noticeable than a longer more coarse one like a typical tri colored unrelated beagle has .
Not every puppy is exactly the same fur .. some are soft , some have shorter fur and a few like" Gracen" have very noticeably "less "
shedding coats . no one says they don't shed , animals must seasonally to some extent just like we loose a few eyelashs now and then the difference is over the years of selective breeding you can keep the best of the best and we feel very proud of him. just that some shed less than others.

Like Grace he is a smaller beagle and just perfect for Miss c. to lift and carry with her bad back from several auto accidents and years of leaning over to care for newborn puppies helping them nurse on moms who were sleeping and seeing to it each was cleaned by mom.
|
|
Miss Christina is crazy about this mini me of Grace , he looks just like she did at that age. His coat is an improvement to our line so she plans to keep him as a sire some day to keep this line going at sunshine beagle puppies.
announcing our future less shedding fur Stud Muffin to be !
"Gracen" khaki mini male keeper for Sunshine Acres Beagles breeding program.

Promise helps babysit while Miss c. works on the computer trying to keep up with all the emails coming in... if yours is missed please try again .
|
|
|
Miss Christina is so thrilled to be able to keep this beautiful khaki boy, he is one of the last of Grace's bloodline and we are thankful to have him as sort of a culmination of all the years work Miss c and family have worked to improve the beagle for indoor housepets.
His smaller easy to lift size and wonderful less shedding coat make him a perfect companion .
His smaller easy to lift size and wonderful less shedding coat make him a perfect companion .
Gracen plays with Charlie formerly Sprout by Sophie who is boarding with us while his family spends 2 weeks in Orlando !
|
the pair have fun , and Charlie has a chance to socialize with other dogs, and play rather than being in a pen in a kennel somewhere he isn't at home at :) He was raised in Ga. and came up to NC.
where they adopted him. Coming back here to Sunshine acres is familiar to him and we are happy to have him stay , plus its on their way to Disney World :) 
|
Sprout aka now Charlie as a pup when he was adopted from us.
|
Charlie and Gracen in the boarding room, aka Christi's old bedroom … ha ha isn't that the joke your parents turn your old bedroom into something when you leave lol. in this case it works great so they have freedom of choice to be inside or out on several decks, and shaded woods.
|
he even gets to spend time with his Grandmom who retired a few years ago and comes to stay with when her single owner travels. this time she was off to take her 94 yr old mother to Mrytle beach ! we raised Eve and she had a few litters for us like Sprouts mom and two sisters we kept to let her retire and be a pampered pet.
Grace's great grandson shows he minds so very well he has never had on a collar or leash yet.
He follows as Miss Christina walks between our two houses on the hill . We are getting things moved over to the log cabin now where Cody and his wife will live . they are taking care of Gracen for Miss c. when she is in fla taking care of her folks . |
|
Khaki least shedding Gracen will be a sire one day in the future and help continue to improve our bloodlines for housepet companion beagle pets . It is amazing how short and soft his fur is while not visably coming out...
not all have the same coats of course and Miss Christina is thrilled to keep the best ever so far .
we are so glad Promise had one last litter with this downline from our all time favorite "Grace" so we could keep her going in our beagle housepet bloodlines. He will bring a new level of luxurious less shedding fur and hopefully help improve our puppies in the futures' fur !
Miss C. takes Promise and Stitch outside to enjoy some warm springtime weather here one last time before he goes into the office to be alone and be ready for his adoption . Josh had asked us to sell him some items that we like to keep on hand , a blanket, toy, bed, and herbal drops to help on the trip home so he rests on the plane trip , and the first few nights in a new home . At least he has his toy bed and familiar blankie brother got his scent on here for him, to make the transition easier on him.

nice day for a sports car ride in the countryside !
what these were half priced today:)

since he was driving out to our place on such a nice day... might as well get all the bells and whistles and enjoy the ride !
He had told us he was interested in purchasing a few items we keep on hand here, a blankie with his brother's scent on it, a collar, a toy, and rope bone too. And his familiar bed we had just purchased for his homecoming day .

Miss C. gave Stitch instructions to be a good Babe Magnet for Josh ... not that he needed any help !!!!! LOL .

ahh my favorite time of day , Puppy Nap time.

as a recent visitor commented he is like chocolate and peanut butter... or caramel
too cute ! |

Trix's orange boy Taco and chocolate boy Thomas explore on a nice spring day !
Chocolate Mom "Jill" is one of our beagles we can let loose off leash and she follows us around and waits on us to go inside by the door... Our acreage isnt all fenced in , just large areas in the back are fenced so when the gals are with us out front going between the office up the hill and the log cabin at the pond they could head off into woods around us but dont care to... why would they the people are what they want not the critters that go into holes in the ground. Lol .
|
Jill and her stud our visiting Tri colored male
"Gaige " who lives near us with his family who adopted him a few years back and agreed to allow us to have him sire some litters in the future. When we have a good match they are happy to let him date one of our ladies while they go to Myrtle Beach and he has his own getaway too :) free boarding when he is successful lol.. We have certain favorites we allow to be adopted and come back to help improve the bloodlines in certain ways we are working toward as we constantly improve our line to be Loving Loyal House Pet Beagles for families |
Jill and Boca were bred this time and she had khaki and chocolate pups in the litter.
Jill's "Jeremy" mini khaki boy with a medium blaze between his blue eyes , he has been adopted now by a couple from Charlotte who adopted a rare colored girl by Jill Christmas before Last in her last litter for us.
They named her Winnie, and told us other than getting married it was the best thing they have ever done adopting her from us, and wanted her little brother to join their pack ! we are fine with adoptions of opposite sex as long as its siblings, or like these two from the same mother and we are sure they will be fixed as well.
We protect our over 25 years of selective breeding to develop our unique DNA tested Bloodline and dont allow breeding of our line except by permission and with our approval and participation in where, and with whom our line finds homes.
Its so neat to see how
many of our customers return for another sunshine beagle ! 
|
they had something to go to .....and asked if he could stay with us in Monroe at sunshine acres , for a bit while they take care of plans to Attend A Big Wedding that were already made. 
they wanted to meet him in person , and of course fell in love ! The couple left his food and blanket bed and toy so he would be used to his things here with his little brother-( Jill's available chocolate "Jordy ")and then get to bring them home to have in their home his forever one.
|
|
|
Jill loves to carry around toys like the boys do... we think its possible its geneticly passed down since most all of her offspring tend to .. funny to think that is possible but it seems to be a cute trait for a puppy or dog to enjoy toys more than most lol...
|
They just loved Jill's chocolate Nano brother too !
|
|
|
|
|
they sent us an update on the two sibblings from different litters by the same mom and let us know things were going great.
other than getting married adopting from sunshine acres beagle is the best thing weve ever done they told Miss Christina :) awwe

a few months ago while in Fla taking care of her folks Miss C. recieved a request to visit Sunshine Acres NC. location to find a puppy for
the McLain family from W. Virginia . they said they wanted a pup with more blocky features and big square head, & thick paws .
Miss Christina had this day on her calandar and flew back up to monroe and showed them the tiny mini pups by Trix, and then
when they met this guy it was all over, mom looked at dad and said thats him , i dont want any other puppy. Forget about it.
we died laughing , but couldn't help but agree, this fellow was adorable !!
"Forget about it "
we go to board him while they traveled to Florida to Disney, Universal Studios, the Keys and then back to Orlando on their way up they picked him up and told us they will be back for another one day ...

Beach Beagles !
Khaki runtsized Beagle Grace travels to the beach with Miss c. visiting a friend in Holden Beach and staying at our favorite dog friendly Hotel on Myrtle Beach !
the Khaki beagles can take being out in the sunshine better than a black tri color . Those attract the heat of the rays and must find shade or shelter. We place alot of the lighter colored beagles in warm climate locations for this reason they enjoy a day at the Beach !!  |

Traveling Companion!

Khaki beagle "Grace" matches the peaceful and beautiful shoreline!
She is a runt size, great lapdog size and still a fun playmate! she can still keep up on a short walk
but unlike her larger beagle buddies who are standard sized she doesn't need much walking to be content.
she is also much easier to lift and carry around with one hand /arm to rest on .
since the lighter coloring of a khaki beagle doesnt have black fur in it to attract the Sun' s Rays of Heat...
they tend to get along much better in warmer environments and as a result we place most in Florida
California and the Beach towns up and down the East Coast .

Grace the khaki on left ,and a younger now retired Standard sized orange mom our larger standard size "Athena" also a daughter to Grace's mother tri colored "Lillie" but from a later litter with a different Dad . they were both about to jump down off the couch. it goes to show you anything is possible size wise or colors from the same mother. she is seen to right with Grace. half sister Athena the orange gal had bigger everything, ears, head, neck, length of body, tail, paw size. lifting grace , no problem, lifting a larger standard requires two arms. |
khaki runtsized Grace above with her Mother retired Tri colored standard sized mom "Lillie" . one mom can have many kinds of puppies arrive Grace wasnt the smallest of her litter there was a chocolate sister who was even smaller. we fed grace carefully growing up so she would stay small and it worked , grace only had two litters and both were by emergency csection so we had her fixed to be a companion not a breeding dog. Our moms have a few litters for us and then are adopted as pets . we do this to enjoy the improving of the hound breed for pet homes.

Sometimes people are surprised at Beagles happy indoors ... we have selectively bred for certain qualities to make our line people oriented rather than interested in hunting instincts we have spent 25 plus years honing in on the dogs that are focused on their Families to improve our line for homebodies, and housepet beagles.
Henry's parents found us online and picked him to be their furry child in NYC .

All Grown up now he is the " perfect indoor housepet beagle "size . Runtsized beagles are perfect they arent heavy to lift and can still keep up with your walks but dont need them as much as standard beagles require.

Colorful Cuteness!
We are selectively breeding for good indoor companion qualities, and among all the companion qualities we breed for, we have also worked to develop softer, more indoor appropriate coats in our housepet beagle bloodlines, and these coats come in many beautiful hound colors. The softer coats are not as 'hard' and stiff of a fur as some hounds can have- which were originally bred for with the sporting intention of hunting and running through the briars and brambles coming out or breaking off rather than becoming caught and tangled-up in the briar patch :) chasing after bunnies ! |
Tricolors, Chocolates, Oranges, Silvers, & Khakis!

"the only thing my beautiful chocolate sunshine beagle hunts is my ham sandwich while we hangout on the couch . "Bogie" is night and day different from my previous tri colored beagle who would escape constantly from our fenced yard to track animals in my neighborhood. His breeder had designed his generations for the sporting hound lines which my parents bought into with my first beagle growing up !. And he shed so much all year long my mom never would let me have him inside the house."

Tricolor BeaglesThe traditional Tricolor Beagle is the Black/Tan/White or Black/Red/White Tri coloring usually seen.
As newborns, they are only two colors- black & white, and as they grow they develop the third reddish coloring on their heads and shoulders where black was present, the white stays white. |
|
Any color Beagle may or may not have a "Blaze" which is the white between a dog's eyes, and/or a "Bandana" which is the white around the back of their neck. Patches below had a wide blaze and white muzzle area around the nose.

The Vanblons wrote to tell us about their family and home, letting us know their childrens' ages, home type and that they have a fenced yard, and that mom will be at home with the new pup! "The dog will sleep in our bedroom when it first arrives, probably in it's own bed in our master bathroom. Audna works from home so she'll be available to assist the dog when it first arrives. We plan on attending PetSmart training classes to train the dog to sit, stay, come, etc. We are not sure if we want a male or female dog. It will be an indoor dog mostly, but will be able to run free in our fenced back yard for exercise. My brother has a maltipooh and my sister has a lab, so the doggies can frolic together during family vacations. We may use your boarding services in the future when we travel. " We love seeing our babies again when folks travel, and have had families travel to board with us so that their family member can have his own doggy vacation here in his first home at sunshine acres.
The Vanblons joined the waiting list that fall for their own sunshine beagle puppy to arrive in the future,
hopeful for the summer after they'd be ready !

"Miss Christina & kids, I just wanted to you send yall an update on Patches. He is doing soooo great in training class. Our trainer gave him the pre-test today and he passed 16 out of 20 objectives. She said he is one of the smartest Beagles she has ever trained. Housebreaking is going great, he goes to the back door and sits to let us know it is time to go out. He has finished up all his shots and is going later this week to be neutered. The Vet said he is one of the prettiest puppies ever. We are looking forward to seeing you all again next week when we drop him off for boarding. Thanks again for raising such a smart little fellow for us! Audna VanBlon & Family" |

Part time Helper Ray Ann holds a tri colored puppy who;s head has started to turn red to show how the black fades and this one will have a solid red head as an adult beagle.
|
tri colored beagles start out pretty much black and white and the red comes in around the eyes first then on the ears and top of head and shoulders giving them the 3rd color, therefore TRI -Color Beagles
|

Our classy Chocolate Beagles have warm Brown & White coloring, and they can often have less shedding coats! Usually their backs will have a deeper chocolate, and their heads will be a brighter brown color.

 Chocolate beagle puppy Cole sits calmly on his bed with his litttermates here in our home. In this puppy setup, he has the choice of bed and toys, and paper, and learns to choose paper for "good hurry up"and keep his bed clean. We work with our puppies ahead of time to help with the transition to their indoor forever pet-home!
"First of all, the new pictures of Cole and his littermates are ADORABLE!! He has such a sweet little face we can't wait to pick him up. We are glad they all liked the stuffed dog, I was afraid it would be too big!" - The Hroncichs |
"Hello All, I thought it would be nice to update you on our little Cole who turns one today! I can't believe its been a year already since we first contacted you about him!
Cole has been an amazing addition to this beagle-loving household.He has grown to be so handsome, he gets fawned over everywhere we go! He is also quite the mush, we get lots of kisses and cuddles from this little guy.Cole is super smart and is a quick learner. He enjoys our daily walks and trips to the dog park.He is quite entertaining and gets along so well with Roscoe, our first beagle who is now 2, and Gino our 6 year old basset-beagle mix that we rescued back in March of this year. I have attached some pictures of Cole for you to see! Thank you so much! Lisa and Anthony Upstate NY" |

Orange & White Beagles
Lemon/Blonde & White Beagles, & Red & White Beagles
we rarely have lemon beagles as in our experience they tend to shed a lot more than our other lines having a more course longer piece of hair . As with children in the same home one can have straight fine hair and another may have course curly hair in a different color , its not a perfect science but over the years we have worked to selectively breed the best quality coloring/textures for softness/and least shedding furs possible. We do not claim they are Non- shed. of course a dog has to loose its winter coat in the heat of summer etc. and diet, and even stress, can affect fur and shedding.. we feel the omega 3 fish oils for skin and coat in the puppy Eukanuba we feed are a great help toward our babies coats and hope our adopting families likewise are careful what they feed to achieve the best quality to continue our years of choosing the bloodlines to improve on the typical beagles coat for indoor companions. We call our best coats Less Shed since they are considerably less than hunting hounds who also have an odor our rare colors dont have.
We are very selective on who adopts our orange and white beagles as they most often require an active young couple or single individual , since they need more exercise and outdoor activities to thrive and be satisfied. They Love and Respect a Leader and we choose not to place them in homes with young children so they understand the pack order in a household and thrive with "their" Master in charge :)
we also require a fenced yard for them since they tend to be more athletic and need exercise vs some of our other rare colored beagles like Khaki runtsized Grace who sleeps all day except to follow Miss C around and then nap while she works on the computer or in the office with learning pups... lol if you want a couch potatoe let us know...some fit that to a tee !
Our vibrant Orange and white beagles
are attention getting sidekicks! 
They will sometimes have the beautiful eyeliner, complimenting their colors very nicely.

Khaki & White Beagles
|
Our luxurious Khaki and white beagles are Miss C's favorites! We have worked to develop softer coats all around, and the khakis in particular most often have the very least stereotypical hound traits and are usually the ones to have the nicest less shedding fur, some folks even call it a hypo-allergenic coat, which is why many of our customers who have had allergies to dog dander and fur in the past chose to adopt one of our rare color khaki beagles with the shorter less shedding coats. Some of The Chocolates, Silvers, oranges, and occasionally tricolors "depending on heritage" can also have the "less shedding coats" good for house-pets ! just like in human families there can be different types of hair/fur and it can be influenced by diet as well as ancestry . We breed each of our lines keeping all traits in mind, while also focusing on coat quality since our babies are bred to be indoor companion pets. |

Khaki "Velvetine" as a puppy here at home in our puppy office.
She retired after having a couple litters for us , and lives with her new owner in South fla. enjoying being a pampered pet
Velveteen goes everywhere with her adoptive single mom, she is a perfect smaller sized khaki beagle lap dog .
she is so easy to lift and carry around she even brings her to work with her to her Real Estate office too! we love having our retirees go to single folks who treat them like their first child and spoil them like we do ! 
in order to see size differences in the above photo our runtsize khaki Grace stands next to a standard tri colored beagle. head size, length of body, paws, length of legs and tail everything is proportionally smaller . Now picture lifting and carrying her to your car to go somewhere , now picture the same with him , lifting a runtsize or mini beagle is far easier and you have the other hand to carry things and lock the door etc. easily.

this cutie had a
Valentine Heart on his shoulder, too cute ! 
Final body weight depends not only on size and genetics it can be affected by what and how often a puppy /dog is fed as it grows.

Duffy's
khaki beagle in Folly Beach South Carolina. with such nice shorter slicker fur its easier to keep things nice & neat . happily khaki beagles are a bit prissy and most dont like to get their paws muddy, we noticed Grace goes around any water or mud , hunting hounds dont much care since they arent sleeping in anyones bed tonight   |
Khaki Cuties... Interior Designer inspired colors !!
(We say this tongue and cheek)- sometimes folks do tend to appreciate their colors for their beauty, but these are all true hound colors, some of which are much more rare than others. What is exclusive to our bloodline is the many years selective breeding we've done to increase the quality of coats, softness, shorter length of fur coat, and due to their quality, in many cases the richness & vibrance of the color, and decrease the amount of fur that comes out, since these are intended to be indoor housepets. This is only one of the many traits we've considered and focused on more than other breeders who are developing their lines for other purposes. We don't agree with designer dogs, where breeders cross breed resulting in obtaining some of the traits they desired from various breeds to create a new type of dog or look, ours are all pure bred beagles, we just used our discretion to choose puppies with the best possible qualities, one of which included a softer less course coat, that Miss Christina's mom, who was an interior designer, noted many years ago would make a better indoor pet and she favored the less shedding khaki color, which she joked coincidently went so well with many yuppie decor, thus we jokingly made the comment they were interior designer inspired colors many years ago, before the advent of what other breeders have bred for and coined as their 'designer dogs'. We have not designed the beagle, we have only enhanced our line for - Pet homes & families who want an indoor raised sweetheart to love for a lifetime companionship ! Folks tell us their khaki beagle has less of the typical beagle traits such as tracking, howling , and running off. we love that other folks see the difference in them too ! A family who had a tri colored beagle when the kids grew up told us their dog would escape and go hunt down rabbits to bring to their back door as a present. Their khaki beagle is so unlike that dog they told us they dont even have alergic reactions to it vs their tri color that made them alergic when it was at home not out hunting prey !
Grace goes with Miss Christina to see a friends newly finished rental property a Gorgeous
3 story beach house , with new hardwood floors, ( we have had several folks tell us having a beagle on hardwood floors is ok and hasnt damaged the wood since they keep the nails trimmed .) He had a great salt water pool, elevator, and all ;) Holden Beach . Grace loved the view and being steps from the beach out the front door there. |

one of our stud muffins "Graham" lives the good life in South Park NC. he loves being an inside dog .
his owner and her sister had both adopted tri color beagles from us many many years ago. He was able to fill
that hole in her heart when her first boy passed from old age. We were happy to help her stop missing her boy.
Often folks tell us they want a different color , size or gender so as not to compare the new dog to the one they
loved so much and miss. It helps some folks to try a different color so as not to be reminded of their pet.

that hole in her heart when her first boy passed from old age. We were happy to help her stop missing her boy.
Often folks tell us they want a different color , size or gender so as not to compare the new dog to the one they
loved so much and miss. It helps some folks to try a different color so as not to be reminded of their pet.

We offered to let our boy come live in her condo like a pampered pet and he can come sire litters when we need his genetics
|
not all our breeding dogs live with us some are pets and have arrangements worked out so they can return to be bred, boys might get a puppy to join them , or free boarding when their family travels to the beach... one local monroe family lets Gaige stay with us and he sires litters that have his unique white paws and coloring down their legs. We dont have to have one of each type of look that way in order to have puppies arrive who have varied looks and markings or coloring.
Lots of couples start out with a pup, to practice their parenting skills together!

Years ago we had a very special request.. a young man said his girlfriend loved beagles and he was planning to give her one to start their new little family....
He had a surprise awaiting her on the collar when he gave her her new furry first child... so sweet... and she said YES !! |
 Beagle puppies in Charlotte NC
Myers Park, Charlotte, NC, blonde, "Lemon", 'Margaret' on right. We stopped by to visit her, and show them our newest khaki, and chocolate colored puppies. We joked with her blond parents about having chosen the only lemon in her litter cause they matched ! Folks often choose a puppy that matches them well , just as people choose a mate who resembles themselves ! They posed for our Yuppy Puppy Photo !! Margaret's mom was expecting their 1st human baby and having learned from raising her was a good initial experience in parenthood for the young couple ! 
Magistrate John Griffin comes to pick up his tricolor puppy Chloe
"Hey Christina Just wanted to let you know we made it home. We played all afternoon, must have worn her out!!!. She slept like a baby all night long. She couldnt believe the snow the next morning.Also would like to tell you how well you handled everything. I can't see why anyone would want to go anywhere else for a beagle pup. You had all the answers and very helpful in getting stated on the right foot. I still look over your web site, so many helpful tips are there. You should be hearing from my sister soon about one of your pups. Thanks again John"

 Our beagles enjoy both cuddling,
as well as adventures with the fam!
"These are some pictures of our beagle, Kiwi. We got her from you last March and her name was Juliet before we got her. We love having Kiwi as a part of our family! She is the sweetest puppy, very loving and cuddly. She loves to play fetch with ropes, toys or balls. She loves children and other dogs and gets so excited when she sees the kids coming home from school. I thought you would like to know that she is doing great and we love having her here!"
"Hi guys! Hope all is well your way~ Thought you'd get a kick out of seeing Slate LOl.. he is doing great, can't believe he is 3 already~ we were looking at some of his puppy photos and my gosh he was so darn adorable.. no wonder we fell in love online!! He's enjoying our newest addition to the family.. we got a dwarf bunny for my daughter.. "Jessica" and Slate are best buddies.. the irony!!!! Will have to take some photos of them playing for you.. they play this hide and seek game around the couch... and Jess pops out and Slate just go nuts and gives her kisses when she'll let him.. he truly gets along with everyone huh?? take care, The julius gang "

After meeting the Case family's Khaki Mini "Justin", Granddad fell in love with their Sunshine Acres Beagle and wanted one of his own! David & Irene got him the best birthday gift, his very own baby beagle!
|
As we head home, we check our emails on the laptop and see a new one from Karen with an email from David to her husband attached to the bottom!
" Such a small world!! David and my husband have known each other for years! I am hoping that Sandy is doing well - and there might be a nano or 2 in her belly :-) all the best for xmas ! karen ( and jon ) From: David Case Date: December 18, 2009 12:44:02 PM PST To: Jon Rubinstein Subject: Sunshine Beagle Pups John, I just picked this little guy up in Charlotte. While I was speaking to Christina, the breeder, she saw my Pixi and said "the iPod and Pixi creator is getting one of our pups, too...". After a few questions, we figured it was you - these guys are adorable... Bosco, here, is for my in-laws - we got a khaki pup back in March... Enjoy! Dave" |
 Karen flies to Charlotte from California and takes a Limo out to sunshine acres from Charlotte Douglas International airport to meet our family in person and leave her deposit to get in line for a khaki mini female!
|
|
 |
|
 While Karen visits, Christi shows her the pictures of Lemons aka Nina that Michelle
and David sent us from Sa Fransisco. |
One by one Karen recognizes the area, saying ""Awe what great pictures! That could even be the beach that was nearby... Oh it is! That's Alcatraz in the background!... Oh! That's where the Coffee Shop is!!"
|
 "I took her shopping today !
Here she is with the sales ladies at Burberry.
They LOVED her."
|
 "Here we are on Saturday - sitting at the VERY table where we met the first nano beagle!!
Pixi was a huge hit! Jon kept taking her away from me so he could hold her and get all the attention!!"
|
"She is SO cute. And you cannot believe how affectionate she is. We let her snuggle with us on the couch every night -- and in the bed for naps and early in the AM -- She loves that! But happily goes in her crate when we put her there. But her favorite place is to snuggle with me. :-) IT is helping a lot. I miss Holly so much - im sort of numb still ......since i had her for so long as she was my first dog. Thanks for asking. I have a couple pics to send from Mexico where you can see Pixi holding fort over the place! And when she isnt playing in the grass or sand she is being spoiled by our staff that fight over who gets to carry her around. The cleaning girls come and ask if they can bring Pixi around with them as they clean the bedrooms and they sing mexican lulabys to her all morning. Then they carry her around like a baby. She is one spoiled DIVA!! all the best, karen"
After having such a great experience with their first

As you go further into our site, you find our "Get Two" page with these families' stories, pictures & updates about how great everything went!

Kristin & Stan at our house meeting us & our babies. They claimed two siblings and then came back to pick up their new kids!!
"Hi Ms. Christina,
This is Kristin and Stan from Georgia. We got 2 of Carla's first litter. It is hard to believe that they are 15 months old now! Pickles and Elvis are doing well. They are so spoiled and we love spoiling them! They travel so well (in fact, they have flew to Chicago and Cleveland with us!). We always receive compliments on what beautiful dogs and coats our babies have! We make sure we always tell them about our wonderful handraised bealges from North Carolina! In fact, we were in the vets getting our yearly rabies shot and the whole office was in a buzz because "Pickles and Elvis" were in!

We are a small family, a stay at home single mom and her two kids, who love beagles. Raising beagles is our sole focus. Sunshine Acres Beagles started in the North West, with our first litter of beagle puppies by Miss Christina's 'Angel', alongside the birth of Christina's daughter 'Christi' in 1990. A couple years and puppies later in 1992 Miss Christina's son "Cody" joined the family. Christina had owned beagles previously as pets, and after noticing the differences in beagle lines, from hunting stock in the south to the show bloodlines in the NorthWest, she decided to focus on developing a line strictly for the responsible pet-home, breeding for the qualities that make beagles a great family addition and raising them for that purpose. Miss Christina had experienced the joy of the beagle breed from early childhood, falling in love with their endearing, curious, and well-rounded nature. She also experienced the sorrow of losing a friend due to the scent-driven desires bred into and started on in hunting lines, where their passion was meant for the game. However, having also owned companion beagles, and seeing their passion for their master and human families, Miss Christina understood the difference that breeding focus and upbringing methods can make and with love for the Beagle breed she decided to share that joy we have found in our beloved beagle companions with other families like ours, who truly want a companion to live as a member of the household. Our love for the beagle breed has compelled us to focus on breeding to improve the breed for homebodies, not hunting abilities, raising puppies to be family members specifically bred and raised for the purpose of being a happy healthy beloved pet! Today, we continue to work developing our beagle bloodline to be a family member in a responsible home, and place our puppies only into approved pet-homes who share our love of the beagle breed for pet homes.
|
25 + years of development has gone into producing our exclusive beagle bloodline. This means we are selectively breeding to develop an all-around exceptional companion pet, meant for homes where having a healthy indoor companion to be strictly a member of their family is their desire. We are not claiming to breed for hunting and improve the beagle breed for Hunting and Field Trial enthusiasts who want a beagle whose traits were bred for those purposes, we breed for companions, and we leave hunting breeding to the other reputable breeders who specialize in designing their beagles for those customers. Our dogs are bred to be family pets for approved homes and do not go to breeders, hunters, or pet stores. We don't claim to have the only rare color beagles, simply that we are the exclusive source of this all-around exquisite line that we have worked to develop over our years of dedication to the breed, which includes our years of development on these enhanced luxurious fur coats, with beautiful colors, and improved less shedding coats, as well as the family-oriented mindset, temperament and all the positive beagle traits we have bred for in our bloodline, and since our pets do not go into breeding programs, only we have this unique pedigree & bloodline.
|
|
|
|
Our babies' well-rounded pet traits are the result of selective breeding for only & all superior pet qualities for the beagle owner who purely wants a companion that's happy to be your indoor housepet to love; we have worked to improve upon our bloodline for conformation, health, intelligence & temperament, avoiding breeding dogs known to have any faults that would make them less desirable as the perfect match for someone to cherish as their compatible indoor companion, meanwhile doing our very best to weed out any issues that may come up in specific cases as all reputable breeders do by appreciating the pet owner's feedback. Like people, puppies can be different from each other, and
unlike a pet-store, a reputable breeder wants to hear from caring customers so
that they can continue to improve their lines in each generation. We have also worked to weed out the negative beagle stereotypes you may have heard of from your friends and acquaintances when you mentioned getting a beagle for a housepet; While beagles are wonderful loving creatures, many people over the years have relayed their bad experiences in getting a beagle from different
lines that were not necessarily designed to be a housepet, but rather who's natural tendency to run rabbits overpowered their love of family, and they escaped their backyard to use the talents that it was designed and selectively enhanced for.

Since hand raising overall great pets is our heart's desire, we are not only focusing our attention on a specific trait, color, or size; We focus on all qualities because striving for an isolated trait could mean sacrificing the integrity of the other traits if ignored (such as those out there only concerned with size, etc.) Instead, we are working to improve the breed we love in all areas for other pet-owners, and not only conformation and temperament, we also consider the quality of all their traits before keeping a puppy to add to our breeding program, so that we can continue to have and develop puppies that are best suited as family members in your responsible pet home. Since we do not allow anyone to breed our companion pets and add them to other kennels' atmospheres, other breeders should not feel affected by us altering the original purpose of the beagle breed to run rabbits and it affecting future generations, since we are the only source of our bloodline that goes into forever pet-homes.

Sara flies in to take home her tiny chocolate buddy Charlie, she has already sent a second deposit to get another she has enjoyed the first experience so much !
"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."

As a family, our family-homelife is where our passion resides.
We are not a pet-store and we consider our efforts raising our puppies and taking care of our dogs here at home more important than making sales or pursuing leads that may or may not be serious about adopting a beagle puppy from our family. Adoption of one of our family's babies is personal, so please read about our family, and then tell us about yours before asking to adopt, so we know you're serious and have taken the time to read first. :) Raising beagle puppies is a full time engagement for our family. Our in depth website reflects our 25+ years of selective breeding and raising beagle puppies for approved pet homes and happy families. We have many detailed pages on adoption and so forth to help prepare new interests for the important step of puppy ownership! |

Miss Christina's daughter Christi and orange sunshine beagle pup Chili Pepper. Chili had been adopted and then came to board with us here at home while his parents went out of town. We LOVE seeing our babies again and hanging out with them while we take care of our daily duties here at home, including web updates and emails with sincere adoptive homes.
|
We, Miss Christina and Christi, have built our website to help share our years of experience (25+ for Christi who has been raised with puppies since birth, and 50+ for Miss C who had beagles growing up, and started breeding select beagles as a stay at home mom when Christi was born!) and answer everyone's questions ahead of time through our detailed web topics with our pictures, to narrow down our volume of inquiries so that we can take our time to focus on our babies first and foremost, and those who took the time to get to know our family's passion and are truly serious about adopting from our family. (It also takes time to raise a puppy! Raising a puppy is fun! But it can also be diligent work taking patience, consistence and passion to help your pup fit in and learn from your composed and connected positive energy. Dogs pick up on energy very well, and begin adjusting to your energy, so we care about seeing a good energy from potential adoptees!)
|
|
We just want to see everyone happy for the years to come, and know that potential families are willing to work with us patiently and positively through the process of adding a puppy, and follow our family's doggy-advice in the future. We truly care about our babies' futures, and are here to help sincere adoptees whenever we can! |

Our knowledge base in the form of an ever growing website allows serious families to take their time viewing and learning while we care for our puppies, and feel comfortable before beginning the process of adopting one of our babies. Learning about the differences in our companion beagles raised for loving pet homes and not for hunting showing breeding or retail, our different colors and sizes developed over the years through careful breeding, the different prices and considering your budget plans for a lifelong companion, and understanding our family's goals in finding good adoptees who will have a lasting good relationship with our family as our baby's forever home, as well as getting an idea of your ultimate plans & desires before contacting us about adoption helps everything go smoother, so that when potential homes are ready and committed to the idea of adding a puppy to their life, we can take their interest seriously and focus our attention on their individual desires and approving their details for adoption.

Adriana above and to the right the day she went home
this shows how they change and the ears grow longer and head turns more and more red ... till they end up like her mom below Audrey with a solid red head and white around the nose , and black saddle on their backs. 
|
"Audrey" Tri colored mom above stands next to son Cody's nice Ford Hybrid (he earned money doing courier trips hand delivering pups to earn and save up for ) Audrey takes a little break from caring for her litter hanging around off leash ... few Beagle Breeders can say they are able to have dogs that are loose and don't run off to track rabbits in the surrounding woods. We have a private drive and share the 2 homes on it our brick home/office where we meet with adopting families to be, and our log cabin on a pond next to it . at sunshine acres often we have loose beagles here and they are allowed to follow along as we go about tending to our chores at sunshine beagle pups. |
|
"Lucky" her sister also is free yet sticks around sunshine acres
not in a fence or invisible fence. 
Behind and all around us are many rolling acres of woods and land they could choose to leave to yet they don't have that same desire other breeders are busy augmenting in their bloodlines for hunting purposes.
Miss Christina's log cabin next to our office is on a pond ... Audrey suns herself and hangs out waiting till she comes outside to follow her around as she does her daily routine feeding moms and puppies and all the doggies are tended to ...
and loved on. 
no fence to keep her home, she just wants to be here not hunting like other breeders dogs would be who are designed to do a job using their noses :)

Our Mission statement:
Here at Sunshine Acres Beagle Puppies we raise the best family dogs from our selectively bred companion beagle parents. Each one is given the special attention and care you would want your new family pet to receive from the day its born to the time it is ready to go home with you to join your family. We work with them on house training, using paper, as well as taking them outside so they will fit right into your home as the perfect small house dog. We specialize in happy home bodies , so they make great indoor companion pets, and loving Lap dogs. Hand raised to be more than just cute puppies for sale these are in many people's opinion the best small breed dog for kids. Many beagle breeders specialize in hunting hounds raised for traits we do not breed for. Our beagle Pups for sale come from AKC Show Champion and CDX Companion dog origins from the North West, and over many years of careful selection choosing our bloodlines ancestors for qualities we find most beneficial to our line to create the dogs best for families look for an indoor pet. Our baby beagles come in standard size & 13 inch beagles, as well as our very special mini beagles, or as some pocket beagle breeders call them "Pocket Beagle Puppies". We also have worked on coats to develop a shorter fur that sheds considerably less than the typical beagle dogs you will find elsewhere from many other beagle breeders nationwide, this is one of the many reasons we have customers come to us from all over the nation to purchase their new pet for a house dog. We dont run ads in the paper, as most of our customers are often repeat customers who loved their Sunshine Acres Beagle Puppy so much they want another to enjoy and for their current sunshine acres beagle to enjoy, or friends of someone who has had such a great experience with us they too decide to get their new beagle baby from our family ! Our unique Less shedding fur means less bathing, no hound dog odors and oily coats like some beagle hounds are known to have...so with our line you have less time washing the dog, and less cleaning your home from the longer fur many others have. We have Tri colored beagle pups , as well as our unique gorgeous Least shedding Rare Colored beagles. Our beagle puppies are for sale in North Carolina, but people all over drive to us to choose one, such as folks who adopt a beagle from Florida , Georgia,or Virginia, or fly across the country from as far as California.
We have also made courier trips for families when all works out, so far to Washington DC, Florida, and have even flown out to hand deliver to return customers in Las Vegas,and Canada. Whichever your family chooses to do is just fine with us we are not a big kennel, just a mom and her kids, and sister and her daughter helping hand raise our beagle pups, with a Vet tech helper and a part time helper who grew up raising boxers.
We have an awesome Veterinary Staff nearby on call night or day for us.
Dr. Glenn comes out to sunshine acres to do our yearly Rabies shot boosters for us .

she even had m n m's made with Graces face on them... too cute!
Grace looks over what Josh sent - lots of cute and helpful things related to his job at Disney World in Orlando Florida.
He was head of event planning there. He got a orange and white pup to join he and his daughter in a new home they just got with a nice fenced yard for a puppy to play in. Over the years we used the 3 books on the different parts of Disney to loan to our customers boarding their sunshine beagle and heading to Disney ! they all told us what a big help having the guides was and appreciated his sharing that part of his world with us to share with others... after that people really started sending thoughtful items from "their part of the world" from all over the country. This made our jobs fun and rewarding and I hope neice Lauren will have the same generous loving families adopt the pups she is raising up for us now and find this equally rewarding with the friendships to be made along the way as well

our family likes to find great homes for each of our pups to go into so please tell us about
yourselves and the home you could provide for one of our babies and include how you would get them home.
we look for homes with fenced yards , adults or older responsible children, empty nesters and retired couples are our favorite to work with :)

Companion Beagles vs. hunting hounds ?
( which will you choose as a family member ? )
we have carefully chosen our companion line not
to include dogs that come from Hunters lines

for our preapproved families to enjoy :)
Let our Family Pets, have your " familie's pets " ...
Almost 30 years of work developing Sunshine Beagles has created our unique line of Companions for families to enjoy . |
