    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, 
    or empty nesters with room for more love in their home,

     we like to think we raise new Best Friends for people to enjoy !!

    Our beagles are bred & raised to become a member of your family & household, therefore we do not place any of our puppies into homes other than household Companions.

    "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) "

    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 was originally bred for with the sporting intention of hunting and running through the brambles.  

    Tricolors, Chocolates, Oranges, Silvers, & Khakis!
    So many Colors to choose from!
     what are your favorites ?

    "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 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.

    "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!

    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.
     
    We have worked to further develop smoother coats in our beagle lines, creating especially less shedding coats in many of our rarecolors

    Chocolate Newborn Beagle Puppy "Cole".
    (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. "

    " Ok, I ordered some items from the link to Petsmart on your webpage. They should be on their way to you as all items were in stock! 1 bag of Greenies,   ToyShoppe® Mint Green Plush Dog with Squeakers,   Petstages Soothing Cuddle Pal,
    Nylon Adjustable Collar for Small Dogs Color/Style: Red
    Size: 5/16''W x 5-7''L   Also, I wanted to send a box of Iams Puppy Biscuts for momma Maisy but Petsmart had them on backorder, so in order to get them to you ASAP, I am going to send a box from Petco!   I am so excited, thank you! "

    "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!"

    "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!

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.

    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, 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. The Chocolates, Silvers, sometimes oranges, and occasionally tricolors depending on heritage can also have the less shedding coats good for allergy prone families! 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 !

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.

    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 was with her beagle parents, young professional couple David & Michelle who were on their laptops while on an outing with their only child Lemons!
     
    Karen and Jon discussed how her small size would be great as a traveling companion on their many trips. Wanting their very own, they found us online, learned about our family and beagles, and share their details with us for pre-approval for their very own! 

    When the day came, Karen flew out from California to adopt her baby Pixi!

    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"

    "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.

    20+ 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.

    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 20+ 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 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   (20+ for Christi who has been raised with puppies since birth, and 40+ 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.

    First read why you as a pet-home should buy your beagle puppy from a breeder working to develop better housepet variety puppies, hit next below our mission statement and learn why ours are so different than the hunting beagles bred for those purposes.  Once you have read that page there will be a link where you can then go see actual updated pictures of  Our Current litters & more puppy & family information. 

       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 rarely advertise 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 they tend 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, or have us ship their choice via the priority parcel dog shipping service most airlines across the country offer. Whichever your family chooses to do is just fine with us we are not a big kennel, just a mom and her kids, with a Vet tech helper. And an awesome Veterinary Staff nearby on call night or day for us.  Our web site has pictures of newborn beagle puppies as well as beagle pups ready now. We keep the site current so if your family falls in love with a puppy that is available, the chances are very good that the puppy you like is still here and could come join your family! Once you have read the first two pages of the site you will come to our available puppies page its address can be entered into your browser so you can go directly to that page and look at who we have currently till one of our puppies for sale steals your heart... thanks for taking the time to read our site and we do hope you enjoy our darling beagle puppy pictures !!
