Esther's owner sent her a special teddy bear. It was her owners best friends grandma's .
Sarah and her sweetheart both got their scents on it so she would be learning their scents here first
and already feel a bond when she is adopted.

this girlie is the calmest of the litter and very easy going. Right after she was born she allowed Miss C.
to handle her, and hold her for cleanings every two hours around the clock ... doesn't wiggle or squirm to get away . we love this about her

Sarah has sent us her puppy care package with lots of goodies for Sunny to keep her milk flowing with healthy treats !! we so appreciate the between the meal snacks with 8 mouths to feed she needs to take in alot of Nutritional goodies around the clock !
Sarah found us online while looking for a new service dog for her current gal Lily to help train . Once we preapproved her home she sent a double deposit to help out while we didn't have an income till this litter goes home toward the end of Sept. Then again she sent another payment towards her baby's balance

he was so helpful in our efforts to spoil the mom bringing a cooler full of meats each visit for us to cook up to keep the milk flowing for her litter we so appreciate folks who see that we are sharing something we do with them , and think to bring us something they do !! or something from their area of the country it makes our work so rewarding to know others care about the family who raised their new baby too !

the biggest Tri boy is a jet black fur and the other boy next to him with the narrow blaze has a gun metal steel color fur which is a different shade .
We looked for a home where he could be adopted by someone local who would allow him to return to sire a litter in the future for us and found just the right couple for him.
The sire of this litter is out of one of our favorite bloodlines and this little boy has the potential to have silver beagles for us again one day in NC. both the solid head tri boy and the narrow blaze have been claimed .

"Charlie Brown" was adopted by a couple who don't have kids, and already had a small beagle they had named "Snoopy" , they tell us the boys get along well, and they are so happy to have him join them on their large acreage property:)
Sunny's Nano size boy is one of the tiniest pups we have ever had . He is doing great though and eating dry food now and using wee wee pads , and can even go out the doggie door when he wants :)
you can see how tiny this little tike is compared to his runt sized tri boy.
Nano pups are very rare and are our smallest beagles. Unlike some breeders who add in doxies to achieve shorter legs and smaller size overall we only use purebred beagles in our bloodlines. Keeping the little ones for breeding smaller and smaller sizes is how we developed our tiniest pups over the last 30 plus years.
just for fun we decided to compare him to Freddies newborn...
he is almost 5 weeks then, the fattie on the right was 5 days old.... didnt even have his eyes open yet.
he is almost 5 weeks then, the fattie on the right was 5 days old.... didnt even have his eyes open yet.
his personality makes Miss C. think of our vet Doc Faulkner saying years ago that in his kennel his favorite dogs
have often been the runts of the litter ... most get more human contact watching over them to protect them from being layed on by the sleepy mom with larger pups all around they often are pushed off when nursing so a good breeder will take the others away and let the littlest nurse every two hours around the clock
like we do !

he is tiny next to his orange brother from the same litter
the tiniest tri colored boy is curled up in the picture above in the middle we made sure he got to nurse each day sometimes taking away the bigger pups so he didn't get pushed off :)
this little guy went home to VA. with his new owners who already have a smaller beagle named snoopy
and they tell us the pair are getting along well already !

they had joined our waiting list for a pair of tri colored girls from us in the future, but fell for this cute
little orange boy and asked to come meet him before the hurricane hit.
Melissa stayed patient hearing back from us and meanwhile Miss C. comtemplated letting them also
adopt the tri sister we had under consideration to keep ourselves....

its a big reason we have had so many repeat customers come back for a 2nd 3rd and more...
up to one family getting 8 over the years from our family as each of their daughter's moved out and took their favorites , then got another to keep it company lol...

Hi Ms. C!
Sorry for not writing back right away— we have been busy! Don’t know how you do it with all those pups 🤣

Peach and Pepper are AWESOME.
They have just filled our hearts. We miss our Penny girl and thank her for sending us these two silly beags. They are SO smart. Already know their forever names, sit, and are working on recall already. Pepper loves food so much so he just sits all the time and expects treats lol. They are learning on leashes when going outside.
We love them! Thank you for raising such great dogs. We feel really lucky. ❤️
They are busy buddies, very smart, and just joys to have in our home. They have been meeting and loving family, and are learning every day. We love them so much!
Pepper is a big boy, already at 15lbs. Peachie is our little lightening bolt at 11 energetic lbs. Her ears are always flipped— we call that “party mode” lol. They are veryyyyy sweet. they are just beautiful dogs.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
Melissa

he's a real sweetie :)
His orange coloring is starting to brighten and the black fur is dropping out now
the next biggest boy is the runtsized claimed solid head tri male.
sleepy babies .... zzzz
as we jokingly say the oranges start out like the ugly duckling, but over time they change into a beautiful swan
Nemo now known as Pepper has been adopted now along with his tri colored sister.
we decided to let the tri girl we were contemplating keeping go home with him since the couple joined the waiting list for a pair of puppies to avoid separation anxiety like their previous beagle experienced .
Miss Christina holds the last of Paisley's khaki pups ( now adopted) and sweet orange "Sunny" as "Tucker" arrived from Penn. to board while his family vacations at their cabin on Lake Erie this summer. He was adopted with the agreement he return to sire for us and we are thrilled to say he and sunny did breed and were very successful !!
you can tell how short our Mini stud Gracen's legs are in this photo with runtsized tri colored Tucker .
Kevin arrived with Tucker and gets to meet Sunny
Kevin says good luck to sunny and tucker... the pair were sweethearts when they were puppies :)
his daughter enjoys holding a puppy while they visit :)
he is a gorgeous tri colored boy with a great friendly personality we were so happy to have him sire 3 litters for us over the summer while he stayed with us and his family got a nice vacation.
he is a offspring of Sadie Mae and has her beautiful dark eyeliner and a nice slick shiney shorter coat than most tri colored beagles tend to...
Our congrats to Sadie Mae's owner's son and future daughter in law , they sent us their announcement
of Engagement recently and a adorable photo of Sadie with them
of Engagement recently and a adorable photo of Sadie with them
they originally joined our waiting list years ago for a silver or tri girl. Sadie came back to have a litter for us and this litter is sired by one of her boys we kept the right to breed. They let us know once the kids get married and settled they hope for a silver girl of their own possibly from sunny's gun metal steel colored boy once he is grown and sires a litter for us :)
Tucker the sire of this litter is so shiney and slim
his family had sent us many updates as he grew up in his Penn. home... we loved his good looks !!
"Lia" "Sunny's" mom had all colors and sizes... she was a great mom .
silver beagles, khaki beagles, orange and chocolate beagles all in the same litter.
since sunny is Lia's daughter we hope she can have rare colors like her mom always did..
when Sunny was a puppy growing up here in North Carolina....
Sunny enjoys the warm morning sunshine on our cabins front porch as a pup growing up here in NC.
she was one of now retired orange mom Lia's puppies we decided to keep .
as she grew up with us we also kept another girl by different parents who shows the difference in oranges
Cliffie doesnt have the dark eyeliner so many folks love she has more of a mauve nose too :)

sunny and tucker have made some beautiful pups for us now all their pups have found homes
Kevin and his wife Renee both work for American airlines and so he and their daughter flew in to charlotte international to pick up their new family member . We took a courier trip to hand deliver him to them so they could turn right around and fly back home with him onboard the plane:)
Sunny about to pop !
the below orange girl will look just like her mom above .
Sunny has a litter on the way due sept 11, and we hope she will have tri and oranges again as well as possibly some khaki pups like the sire this time Thunder!!
