 some of our lines shed less fur , we don't claim they are non shed dogs , just less shedding than most other breeders purebred beagle blood- lines, since we are actively working selecting the best offspring from our lines  to improve the beagle as an Indoor- companion not a rabbit tracking ,
or field trial dog , the way most other Beagle breeders do.

     This khaki pup has short fur that only comes out when there is a change of season ,
its slick when you run your hand down her back, nothing much comes loose...
we used to joke and say "like water off a ducks back" when we bathed khaki puppies. 
nothing much was coming loose and clogging the drain like when some
tri colored beagles got their bath.
they do of course have deeper coats of fur in the cold weather,
then loosing winter thicker coats for spring and summers warmer temps , etc.
not all bloodlines are alike.  We have spent over 30 yrs working to constantly select the best coats
for ​our line of  housepet beagles.
Picture
some of our coats have improved the beagle fur greatly, many khaki pups have soft yet short fur that is slick and barely comes out, mainly only during times of the year when it should , after winter they loose some of what was there to keep them warm,
​in time for summer heat :) so they can stay cooler in the outdoor sunshine. Tri colored beagles with black thick coats that attract sunlight tend to  hide
​ in the shade.
Picture

We aren't in it for fame , we don't show our dogs, we don't hunt our beagles like most "Beagle Breeders" in the south , we pamper our pets like their new owners would want them to be treated as home body housepet beagles not caged hounds... ​

lots of young couples come to us ahead of time and make plans to adopt from us as their First baby it is great  experience before starting a human family :)

khaki tan and white open marked 
"Shane" was adopted by a family looking for a
​beagle puppy in  Cary NC. 
open markings ( areas with lots of white longer fur ) like his seem to come out and show more .
​while its adorably cute ,   they don't tend to be some of our least shedding coats:(
if shedding is important choose a khaki or chocolate,& some oranges... with the least white areas , and feed Eukanuba like we do, it has Omega 3 fish oils for great skin and coats ( proven to help with shedding in studies of dog food brands)we also add real meats in their diet to make the cutest beagles.
daughter Christi grew up at sunshine acres with baby beagles at her side teaching them to appreciate human interaction from before their eyes open and beyond.

30+ years have gone into developing our family's exclusive homebody variety beagle bloodline, selectively bred for well rounded housepet beagle qualities and hand raised from birth to go into approved pet-homes only, who want to responsibly raise up a companion pet.

as he undergoes his Cancer Treatments,    he always has his buddy there by his side for support :)

because they lived Local here in Monroe they allowed him to sire litters for us when they went to the beach he stayed here in his first home with us

the perfect start to their new family and a New Year for the couple.
They were moving closer to us , and once settled the couple came out to pick their practice kid,
​ they named Charlotte. Lots of young couples start with a puppy to learn to care for another Being first,  before parenting .

We have a 16 month old, and the two are thick as thieves.

She also “goes to bed” around 8pm every night and enjoys to be tucked under the blankets or burrow down in our bed.
Hi Miss C and family!
Charlotte turned two today. She is truly such a sweet dog.
​
 she weighs 18-19lbs. which is fine to us and means she just takes up less room in our bed! :D
Picture
Picture
 She is very loving and protective of my 2 1/2 yr old son and now 6 week old daughter!!
​
Miss C and family - I hope this email finds you safe and healthy.

We celebrated Charlotte’s 3rd birthday last month! We are also happy to announce that her baby sister was born the day after her birthday on 10/21! 

Charlotte is the beagle love of our lives. Her favorite activities are to lay in the sun or snuggle deep under the sheets in our bed.
Wishing you all a happy holiday season and a belated birthday to you Miss C :)

With love,
Virginia and Forrest

Sunshine Acres Beagles are Lovin' All Walks of Life

Developing our beagle puppies is our family's life passion, and therefore we value the relationship between our family and our forever families. 

We do not sell to anyone planning to hunt, breed, or resell our family raised house pet puppies. They are for pet homes only. We simply feel someone should be breeding for the owner who wishes to have
 an Indoor Companion.


Whether you're a responsible family ready for a puppy to raise together, 
an independent dog-lover looking for a companion pet and sidekick,  newly weds adding their first born to being their family with, or retired / empty-nesters with room for more love in their home, we like to think we raise new Best Friends for people to enjoy!

Picture
Picture
we love making memories for families to cherish !
As a small family we retain the right to work with people we are anxious to continue a long term relationship with over the years as our hand raised beagles grow up in their new families .  Please share with us about yourself so we can work to find a great match for you too!

 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.

 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 !!

"She has already had numerous visits to soccer practice & games, of course she is the belle of the ball as everyone wants to pet Luci.  She seems to love it.  We have also encountered other puppies on our outings & they just seem so hyper but Luci just walks along calmly with her tail wagging.  Such a difference in personality & we love it.  We are so grateful for our precious Luci & are so glad we found your website.  We love our Sunshine Beagle Baby & Luci was well worth the wait.  I have attached some pic's so you can see how she is doing (by the way she is already spoiled rotten).  We will continue to send future updates as I am sure I will not break the habit of checking the website for new puppy pic's :o) "

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 .  
Picture
to demonstrate size differences we found this photo of runtsize
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.
Picture
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. 


 We have spent  over 30+ years selectively breeding for good indoor companion qualities, and among all the companion qualities we breed for, temperament for house pets being first , we have also worked to develop softer, shorter more indoor appropriate coats in some of our rare color house pet beagle bloodlines,  these coats come in many beautiful hound colors.
The softer rare color coats are not as 'hard' and stiff or long as that of some traditional tri colored beagle sporting dog line 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 Rabbits .
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."

​we warn folks they are addicting since then they have adopted Jingle Belle from us once Carla passed of old age.

Tricolor Beagles

The 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.
Picture
Picture
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"

(He has a solid head no white blaze between the eyes) We handraise our babies from birth and love watching them grow and thrive! Newborns will begin their first two weeks of life with their eyes closed, which means we constantly watch over them to be sure they stay right by their mother's side and nurse constantly.
"Just saw my name on the next up list for a chocolate male and the answer is most definately, "YES"! Maisy's chocolate boy with the solid head is just adorable and exactly what we were originally looking for! Also, can you please send me the link to the "waiting list only" pages. I have some questions and am sure they are answered there! Thank you so much, we are very excited and eager to meet our new little guy. "

"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!

we have found that-​ Less white often means less longer white hairs that come out most.                     the pup on left is ( open marked ) with lots of
white areas on its back.
the puppy on the left is more of a solid coat and will tend to shed a lot less . we see more of the longer white pieces coming out- vs-shorter rare color coats!

​ 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 any of our beagles are Non- shed.
Picture
They will sometimes have the beautiful eyeliner,
​complimenting their colors very nicely.

​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 and longer course piece of fur than our rare color beagles generally  have.

they like more exercise and outdoor activities to thrive and be satisfied.

We are selective of who adopts our orange and white beagles as they most often have alpha personalities so we like placing those with an active young couple or single individual s

Orange pup Punkin and her sister Foxy sitting on our back deck in the sun! Lighter colored beagles tend to actually enjoy sunshine whereas traditional black red and white Tricolored beagles fur attracts the sun's rays, and they head for the shade. For this reason, we sell a lot of our rare color puppies to the warmer sunshine states.

Orange standard "Punkin" has a slim/athletic build.  Her longer legs appeal to folks who take long walks and hikes and want a companion to keep up!

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,  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 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 !

 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 beloved 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 adopted out as family 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 if they sire a litter while  staying with us... one local Monroe family lets Saddle back Tri colored" Gaige" stay with us ,and he sires litters that have his unique white paws and coloring down their legs.  That way , We dont have to have one of each type of look here.. , in order to have puppies arrive who have varied looks and markings or coloring.   We have sires in pet homes... a khaki boy, silver boy ,chocolate boy, tri boy and above to right -Graham cracker colored "Graham" are some of our stud muffins who help create our beautiful unique line of housepet beagles for other to enjoy.

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,
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"

She is one spoiled DIVA!!  all the best, karen"

"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! 
I am so glad that we decided to get two. We can't imagine our  lives without  either one of them. The are a wonderful part of our family! 
 
There is truly a difference in how you breed, raise, and  care for your beagles because they are your pets. I love the new web design. It  so cute so check up on the new litters and see the mommies! Thanks again for our  wonderful babies!
Kristin and Stan Koterba
p.s. How is Carla doing?"

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.

Picture
Picture
27 + 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.
Picture
Picture
Picture

 

Picture
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.

Picture
Picture
Picture

 

Picture
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.

  "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!

  We have built our website to help share our years of experience   (25+ for Christi who has been raised with puppies since birth. we try  to predict 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 collected  positive energy. Dogs pick up on energy good or bad very well, and begin adjusting to your energy, so we care about seeing a good upbeat positive energy from potential adoptees!)

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 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 Mission statement:
 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 looking 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 !
We keep our pups up to date on wormings and shots .

​we look for homes with fenced yards , adults or older responsible children, empty nesters and retired couples are our favorite to work with :)
