she loves playing with toys and is only a few years old ( taken on New Years Day 2024)
she loves to be near you on the couch and sleeps there or on a dog bed... but on New Years Eve we decided to try crating her and she was good with it all night , Miss C got up before she did and let her out so her experience was a positive one she felt safe from the outside noises of fireworks... yes even in the rural countryside we have um around our acreage property going off at the neighbors down the road we hear:)
We had a Full House over ThanksGiving 2023, 2 pups came to stay along with the two we were boarding till they were adopted, as well as 2 grown males and a grown female !! They sure kept us busy having fun !

we appreciate everyone across the country's patience as we worked thru our waiting list of repeat adoptees
and they made their choices. All of Sunny's and Paisley's pups were claimed by Returning customers. And one of Cliffies went to returning customers in Seattle Cody and Nef got to hand deliver to them !
check with the Ga. location for puppies from this point on.

we are located in the countryside near

North Carolina
Living in the Country we don't get good Cell Phone Reception...
much less with a world wide web presence
having our phone number available online would mean we could
be interrupted when working with our dogs, or boarding sunshine beagles .

like the Update with Leo now a part of the Family ...
our 3 Fall Litters were the 1st we have had to go home in almost a year. Leo was the last pup to be adopted in NC at Thanksgiving of 2022. we are so happy to have had little ones one last time before the mom's retire and Miss C. has now too with no puppies in NC now.
Paisley's litter has all been claimed now by repeat adoptees getting another sunshine beagle from our family and our waiting line is satisfied for NC.
she and her last pup were hand delivered to returning customers in Tega Cay NC.
We were thrilled to work with the Gold's again , after having adopted an adult retiring mom from us years ago they decided this time when adopting adult female Paisley to let her have a litter for us and bring home her favorite puppy to keep her company.
They tell us its working out wonderfully !
Sunny's litter has all been claimed by waiting list repeat adoptees .
the last of Cliffie's litter has flown home to Seattle to repeat adoptees there who moved from charlotte and had children and were ready to have a new little sunshine beagle baby join their family.
The Seidenstein's First sunshine beagle Lucy stayed with us often when the newly married couple traveled . We knew her well and when Cliffie had
their 2nd we were sure this blazed chocolate cutie would be the one they would choose and we were right , they flew Cody and Nef to Seattle to hand deliver them on a courier/site seeing trip!! |
once all Cliffie's pups went home we heard from a repeat adult adopting Widow in Charlotte looking to find another adult girl retiring to be her companion, she came right out and took Cliffie to her nice fenced in yard with a doggie door entrance to the house and a nice sunny porch to snooze on.
Just as we had always hoped for Cliffie she gets to be a companion pet and keep her new owner company when the Grandkids aren't visiting :)
as always we will continue to board for our customers who are traveling and look forward to seeing some of our doggies when their families need us to doggie sit for them !
we had chocolate stud muffin Teddy visit over the Holidays , the above boy we called Cadbury now known as Rolex came to board too so we let our chocolate girl Snicker's play with the fellows too.
(He is a pup by Teddy's sister Darcey , and she is a pup from Freddie's litter we had around the same time)

our girl we kept by "Freddie" to the left, and have since placed her in a returning customer's home in NC who agreed to let her have a litter some day for us if we wish and they can keep a puppy.
"Teddy" also by Freddie in her previous litter, he visited and sired Cliffie's 1 litter before she retired.

our stud Gracen and Paisley had this good looking khaki boy"Thunder" who was adopted locally to a family who agreed to let him return to sire a litter when he was old enough. He has now sired Sunny's recently adopted litter.
he came back to board while his family traveled in March and we saw what a beautiful less she coat he has and hope he passes that gene to his offspring
while he was being picked up the 1st time he stayed with us we had puppies going home and let his owners see a tiny little Nano sized
tri colored boy who was about to go home.

Cliffie's mom Harmony is a personal pet therapy support dog for a woman near Asheville now , and her daughter has the same gotta touch you, and be close to you, nature we love so much. Our doggies become very connected with their new owners and we feel sure her pups will be the same way.

Veteran Sarah sent a camo blankie so she could learn their scents :)
we let her spend a good long time using her nose to sniff the blanket and bed , she walked all over them with her nose down picking up on the fact that it wasnt her litters normal scent.
she really was curious and acted interested in finding who those brand new scents belonged to ....
here's your new trainee to be my future Service Dog
we look forward to staying in touch as she learns to snif scents out that Sarah cant be near.
she has shared news about sunshine acres raising little potential service doggies and we are thrilled
that 2 of sunnys pups got to do just that.

standard sized Snickers looks alot like her pretty mom we kept her for possible breeding
however we have decided to find her a good pet home to join where she might have the option to return like her mom Freddie and older sis Darcey did for us last year and have a litter one day.
we were able to find a repeat adoptee family who agreed she could come back if we wish to have a litter for us in the future:)

Harmony's orangey girlie we kept for breeding

("BIG RED DOG Clifford") . it fits...
she watches on as Neffie holds the biggest boy and seems to be saying ....

Thunder got to come for a visit when his family traveled to attend his owner's brothers Military graduation ,
we loved seeing him again and spending some time getting to see his personality . He got along great with puppies and adult dogs and we are excited to see his nice slick fur coat. He sired a litter for us with Sunny and we are excited to see what he has for us in Sept.

as we say... Not all our breeding doggies live here at sunshine acres beagles ... some are adopted to pet homes who are agreeable to letting them have a litter or two for us like Thunder :)
over the summer we had 2 chocolate gals come back from their pet homes to have litters for us here..
Both Darcey and her mom Freddie went into heat around the same time and were bred to Tucker :)
a tri colored male who's owners had also agreed to let him breed for us . he stayed here while his family vacationed and sired 3 beautiful litters for us in nc.

"Made In America" sunshine beagles Sadie, and Darcey and Darcey's silver girl who was adopted by friends of theirs who are also in the service
Darcey had a rainbow of colors amoung her 9 babies, we no longer have any tri colored beagles at our NC.
location so having Darcey able to breed visiting stud muffin Tucker we did have a few in her litter as well as her mom Freddie's litter . We don't have tucker as an option now that he has returned to his owners in Penn. and gotten fixed so we aren't expecting tri colors again to arrive in nc anytime soon. All our dogs are rare color at our Monroe NC. location , so if that is a preference please feel free to contact southern sunshine in Ga.

she is getting big like her Daddy below "Charlie Too" who was visiting when Harmony was ready to breed last year. Her bones are thicker and paws are bigger than some of our other beagles so we think she's going to take after her daddy's side of the bloodline and be a Bigger boned beagle

we had hoped to do pet therapy with sweet harmony like we used to do with her ancestor Grace in senior centers , then covid happened and we curtailed our volunteering and began looking for a home where she could be a personal support dog :)
we couldnt be happier with this perfect match for both of them , and Barbara and Harmony couldnt be either!
we have been updated several times and Barbara tells us its going just great having her there in the mountains with her as her personal support dog. We knew she would be a great companion pet and lap dog !

His legs are shorter than a typical beagle which makes him easier to lift and carry around.

Our hope for the coming year is much like this example
we pray people will reach out to others across the isle, and accept them as part of the same home
our great country is made up of all kinds ,
we are all from other origins and other countries it just depends on when we got here
No one but the Native Americans can call others Immigrants
we really all are no matter what side of this country we came in from...
Lets all just get along....
Lia's sweet little Orange girlie enjoys the warm morning Sunshine....
Miss Christina decided to call her "Sunny" :) she is calm and very snuggly . Cody and His wife thought they might be moving to accept a job in clt. but it has been postponed ,so Miss C. wanted Nef to have a cuddler that winter and this pretty girl is sleeping with them :) Cody tells Miss Christina she doesn't wake up during the night and can last in their Camper till they get up... she has since had an adorable litter for us with her boyfriend Tucker who came to board :)
we fell for her ourselves to replace her mom who we retired to join another sunshine beagle's family.
so the kids wanted to hang onto this dark eyed Beauty to enjoy ourselves !

Her mom has taken a break from Breeding and is living with repeat customers in Charlotte who asked
for an adult to keep their 2nd sunshine beagle they adopted from us company after loosing their 1st to old age. they have agreed to pamper and spoil her lol... just what we look for in adopting homes for sunshine beagles to join !
"Sunny" is growing up to look just like her Pretty Mom Lia below.
"Lia" on left below arrives at her new home on Halloween . We drove her over and hung around as she got used to her new home with one of our also retired adults "Shelly" a khaki female .
we could see that the gals were enjoying themselves and relaxing together so it was a good match for Shelly to have companionship again after the family lost their 1st sunshine beagle to old age a few years prior.
All of Lia's rare colored litter and Sadie Mae's Tri colored Litter below have been adopted now.
we just keep them for folks to see what her daughter Sunny might have in her upcoming litter. One daughter by Lia, came last summer to board with us on an extended stay
while her owner traveled out of the country. Kari had a great time on Safari & Rooney got to come back to see us!

Kevin updated us to let us know he did Great on the flight home and is fitting right into his new home and family , even making friends already with their kitty ...
before leaving us we spent time getting him adjusted to being in a carrier on the plane for his flight home in the cabin with his new owners.
All of Sadie Mae's Litter has gone home now including little "Tucker"
his owners needed us to hold onto him a little longer as they had a death in the family .
we were happy to do his extended stay boarding at n/c since they agreed to allow Tucker to do as his
Daddy " Thor" did and he did get to come back when he was old enough to sire a litter for us !!
actually they needed to board him long enough he was able to sire 3 litters for us. he has since
returned to his family in Pa. and been fixed so we wont have tri colored pups often in nc without this adorable stud contributing in the future. We sure do appreciate all the adorable puppies he made while he was visiting
us with Sunny, Freddie and her daughter Darcey all females unrelated to his bloodline.

Everyone wants to stop and visit with him.
Wishing you all well!

Sadie Mae's owners brought her back to have a litter here for us. She is a pampered pet .
they went on vacation in their beautiful big RV down at Myrtle beach Boarding her here at her 1st home,
for several weeks of Boarding at n/c ....for letting her have this litter for us.
the family was happy to help us keep tri colored beagles going here in North Carolina this way
We often have special bloodlines we want to add in like hers
so 2 of her girls are also coming back in the future when they are old enough to have a litter here too,
like she did ! Boys- Tucker and Bogey get to come back to sire litters with unrelated girls ...
Like our orange girlie!

Sadie Mae had a litter for us, she has now gone back to her owners, and her pups have all gone home now. The owners of the sire Thor seen below have adopted their favorite the "Pick of the Litter" male with a similar blaze on his face just like his daddy's!
"Thor" the sire of Sadie Mae's litter
Thor has adopted a son to join the family in Sunny Florida. After Thor visited us and was bred to Sadie Mae the Carlson's sold their NC home faster than they expected and moved to be closer to family in Titusville Fla.
Sadie Mae's boy with the Most White areas and a nice blaze just like his Daddy's !
they named him "Rudy"

recently we got an annoucement that the kids were engaged and had Sadie Mae in their photos they shared with us ... so sweet . we hear they want to jump in line for a silver girl of their own down the road when they have settled in their own place . Congrats !!! they make a perfect pair we are so happy for them !
The sire of that litter was Thor and they kept a son to keep him company .
they decided to name him Rudy and sent him a box of goodies and toys and a blankie to play with at our home and then bring home with him when he gets adopted. Some of the toys were Thor's so he could
get used to his Dad's scent even before meeting him.

they also sent along goodies to share with Sadie Mae and canned Eukanuba to help with weaning the babies.
the Carlson men drove up to adopt Rudy and take him home to Titusville Fla. to meet his daddy !!
this meant so much to Christopher we were just thrilled it all worked out so well.
we just loved seeing the connection with Thor's owner and his dog's son...
we were so thrilled to finally make their dreams of adding a son for Thor happen !!
Christopher sent us photos via texts on their way back home to Florida ...
Christopher sent us a picture of Father and Son having Breakfast the 1st morning together in Fla.
for us this is the culmination of a few years of hoping for this day for the Carlson's .

all Freddies 1st litter below has gone home now.
we just add this so folks could see what might arrive in her 2nd Litter.
she returned to have one more litter for us in summer 2022.
now she lives with a returning family who wanted another adult chocolate from us they were happy to agree to allow her to come back !
we enjoyed Freddies fatties , they were very popular with everyone!! Her litter of chocolate puppies by Gracen our khaki stud has all found great homes.
Freddie's runtsize girl with a big blaze "Sadie" above went home with repeat customers the TeaGarden's who
later came back and got her sister "Darcey" to join them on their acreage property in SC.
later came back and got her sister "Darcey" to join them on their acreage property in SC.
they also agreed to allow her to return to have a litter for us, and she had an amazing litter of all colors and 9 her first time !! Now the sister pair are grown and come to board with us often when their family travel to see their son's in the Military too.
she was a playful little monkey...
Christina Teagarden sent this update photo to show how pretty her girlie has gotten now.
all this litter has been adopted now we just leave them up so folks can enjoy seeing our sunshine acres beagles growing up and how they turn out...
Freddie's other chocolate girlie needed to be rehomed when her owner started a new Chemo Treatment
she was here when her sis above came to board and had such a good time reuniting with one another
the couple decided to adopt Darcey as well so she could run and play with her sibling on their acreage property.

the pups all have different size and shaped Blazes on their Faces and white markings on the chocolate.
chocolate and white Teddy was a favorite of Cody's wife who loved to cuddle with him as a newborn and as he grew up with us before finding a home close by. He was so unique with such a big white blaze and chocolate ears. Snoopy isnt a typical looking beagle with a white face and black on his ears. This guy is a chocolate and cream filling version of snoopy lol...
as you can see his littermates have chocolate on their faces
we had reserved the boy with the all white face and chocolate ears... we hoped he can have a litter like him one day for us. We made it a condition for adoption that he come have a chance to sire a litter or two for us when grown. We found a perfect local Waxhaw family who agreed not to have him fixed till he sired a litter!
We found a local home for him that agreed to him returning to sire a litter one day and he was adopted Locally by a Waxhaw family who say he could come visit when he is needed to sire a litter so we have this unique look again in our bloodline someday! We now have heard he is almost old enough to sire a litter and his family is looking forward to seeing what cuties he makes for us !
the Cavallario family came out and claimed this darling boy and came back to take him home.
we got to board him recently when his new family traveled to Myrtle Beach, he had his own crate and could go in when he wanted... or just hang out on the nice bed Sadie Mae's family gave us for the doggies to enjoy.
what a good looking boy , we looked forward to him coming back as a sire when he was old enough to make some cuties like him for us and he did with our Cliffie ! ( they have all been adopted now)
we love having our doggies return to visit us as they grow up.
Teddy and Coops hang out together when their families travel :)

Freddies standard chocolate girl has been adopted
the chocolate standard size girl has a shorter blaze than her littler sis below
(Darcey now ) she needed to be rehomed due to her owner going thru Chemo and a new trial for Cancer.
Her sister from the same litter came to board with us and we were happy to see how the girls got along while she was here . The couple adopted Darcey as well, and she will return one day and have pups for us !

Many years ago Chris ,Velvet, and Caleb adopted a older puppy named "Chuck" from us. They all adored him he was very special,
when he passed they reached out to us again...
We have no fencing which was never a problem for Chuck. I know he was unusual but we could let him out back to the pond, he would walk it and come right back. We got a little spoiled I know.

Chris asked us to help them again, after many happy years with a chocolate beagle
named "Chuck" from us, when they lost him to old age they again wanted a young adult rather than a puppy.
We decided to let them adopt chocolate Freddie.

they brought her to board with us not long ago when they Vacationed on Hilton Head Island.
they agreed to let her return to have one more litter of her chocolate cuties for us .
we skipped her last heat, and she went into heat and was brought back to breed
at that time our boarding tri colored male "Tucker" who was here while his family in Pa. vacationed and let him visit to sire litters for us .
Then a month and a half later she returned to us to deliver the puppies :)

Beacher and Gracen love hanging out and playing with Gracen's new toys on Christmas ....
Gracen hung out with Beacher last time he boarded with us ...
way more fun than being in a caged kennel somewhere unfamiliar for our pampered pet beagles.
over the years we worked to get shorter and shorter fur ,
Less Hound dog traits and more family friendly ones .

sweet Audrey hangs around out on our acreage property, she just waits for one of us to come outside
to come see us. She doesnt run off to the woods surrounding our rural home, something most folks dont expect from a beagle:) she's interested in us not the critters that may be out there.

At our Hobby Kennel in North Carolina -we no longer do a waiting list deposit since we cant promise what will arrive in the few litters a year we raise now in North Carolina. we just preapprove and make a list of families we would like to work with.
Miss C. has developed our rare color & khaki beagle lines we created by selective breeding for Indoor Companions over the last 30 + years breeding for "Housepet Beagles".
After moving down to help her folks in fla. find a senior center
to move to and sell their home
and giving her beagles to her niece and sister in Ga.
She is back home now and has a few litters a year as a
hobby Kennel, mainly to satisfy our many happy families
who want another raised by our family.
You will see "Repeat" or returning customers mentioned alot on our webpage.
we love making friends with our adoptees, Alexa flew from NYC to Monroe and picked up orange and white Saffron when she was a pup.
then when Saffron was grown she brought her back to us to board when she traveled to care for her elderly parents in Calif. saying she would not be happy being separated from her and in a kennel in New York but would with her first home and family here at sunshine acres :)
later after loosing her mom and relocating to live with her elderly dad in Sacramento she asked for a khaki and white puppy to be a little sister to her now adult Girl Saffron to keep her company when she was busy.
Christi flew her new baby, one of "Paisley's " out to hand deliver her !
On the flight to Calif. Christi was allowed to let the baby nap on her lap :) Alexis put her up in Sacramento then she flew down to San Diego to see a friend :) worked out great for all !

after a few litters we let Lia retire and join a returning family in Charlotte who's 2nd sunshine beagle was lonely after they lost their older 1st one.
Lia has a silvery/khaki female who has been adopted by repeat customer's Pro -Golfer Andy Hoeland

Golfer Andy Hoeland's Dad arrived in Charlotte from Phoenix to pick up his newest Grandbeagle from Sunshine Acres joining his son's pack she will be their 3rd.adoption over the years from our family:)
he took "Nova" from Miss Christina and said you must have such a wonderful life, providing such joy and happiness to people with your babies. He said the 2 Andy already has from us are just the best dogs!
we loved seeing how cuddly she is with her daddy pro golfer Andy Hoeland
( past cuties we raised here in NC. for your enjoyment)
puppies love a big open basket full of toys to choose from. It keeps them from chewing on your things if you show them a choice of goodies & they can pick whatever they want.
we put an occasional rawhide stick or greenie down under the toys to keep um coming back to find things in the basket vs your closet etc.
Lia's tiny mini Khaki girlie went home to Greenville South Carolina with her new mom Jackie !
Jackie runs a kids Soccer Camp

Jackie wrote to let us know how its going ...Here are some pics:
She’s doing great! I named her Dash. She’s growing and eating and loves walks, meeting all the neighbors (she’s very friendly and loves people and dogs) and playing with her toys.
She can sit and fetch on command!
I love her so much, and appreciate everything you’ve done to take care of her!
"Walter"
His owner's came back and adopted him after loosing their 1st sunshine beagle to old age, this time they
decided to try one of our rare colored pups, and he gets so much attention they get stopped when they walk him in their neighborhood... one lady said oh is that Walter I've heard so much about him !! LOL !

Lia's tiny mini khaki boy looked alot like his daddy ,our mini size khaki sire " Gracen" who follows Miss C. everywhere... he even had the coloring down his left leg just like daddy's short little legs :)
The Conrad's told us their first sunshine beagle was the best dog they ever owned . They told us that he was whistle trained, and went everywhere with his owner, off Leash thru the woods on trails together etc..
We weren't surprised, our unique line of Family pets care more about their people, than chasing off after rabbits, and when trained this way they make a perfect sidekick for an active couple just like their boy was they adopted from us years ago. This time they picked a smaller easier to lift and carry size and a rare color that has shorter less shedding fur than their tri colored boy they adopted years ago from us.
we love seeing our Happy Families come back for more !!
below " Walter" by " Lia" has our first black nose and dark eyeliner :) what a cutie !!
Hey Christina. Here are some pictures of "Walter",
our khaki blue eyed beagle. He is doing great.
He is extremely intelligent and as good natured a dog as there can be.
He is doing well with his “kindergarten” lessons.
We are so thankful to have him. I pray you are doing well.
I will send you more pictures later. Blessings to all.

the dark eyeliner is so different for a khaki beagle, as well as the black nose.
He is an amazing little fellow. All of the women in the neighborhood have fallen in love with him. Even people that have never seen him know about him. Today a woman stopped us to take a picture of him so she could show him to her husband. Another person has a beagle and wants another and would like to get information about Sunshine so he can contact you.
We are having fun with him and I expect a lot of good times ahead.
Be safe. Love and blessings to all.

our tiniest puppy rolls over on his back to get a belly rub :) He was a surprise for one of our American Hero's in our eyes , she retired from a Nursing career with PTSD,
and her hubby and daughter wanted her to have a new life to care for and Love On at home this time.
her little guy runs to meet his new Mom .
then rolls over on his back to get a nice belly rub :)
She was so surprised and thrilled to add him to their 100 Acre Historic Family Farm in SC, as her puppy therapy :) he was happy to oblige and give a sigh as the new mom rubbed his tummy...

her tiniest pup the dark chocolate Nano sized boy was strong and nursed well , we took turns watching over him feeding every two hours to be sure he was cleaned and nursed around the clock so he could compete with his larger sibblings. sometimes folks look at the time stamp on Miss C.s reply emails and say omg
it was the middle of the night ! When there are newborns to tend to we are up and down all night making sure everyone is safe and fed and inbetween we have a moment to answer:)

more of our time watching over them
to be sure moms don't accidentally lie on them or let them get behind them away from the warmth and nourishment of her warm milk.

very rare.

these puppies are taking after the smaller size of the sire rather than the medium size of Mom.

the solid head tri color girlie went home to Deana who is raising her for her son and Daughter in law. We agreed to have her come home to us when she is old enough and have a litter here. They decided to let her come board with us for a few weeks while they camped at Myrtle Beach this summer in exchange for her having a litter for us.
Cindy's solid head tri colored girl was claimed by Deana DeLoach for her son and his new wife to start their little family. She contacted Miss C. in Jan about wanting to add a sunshine beagle to their family.
They agreed to allow her to return to sunshine acres beagle puppies in the future to have a litter for us! Deana would love one of the babies for herself she told us !

they sent ahead her puppy care package so she could play with her things here with her mom and littermates so they would be familiar and comforting to her in her new home, and take home when she was adopted :)

sunshine acres beagles !

on the trip home they put her nice soft comforting bed and familiar toy and blanket on the backseat and she slept on their trip to her Dad's Fire Station where he was at work that day .
What a special young couple she's a Nursing Student, and he is a Fire Fighter.
we love it when folks share with us as our babies grow up in their new families :)
Deana is so good about keeping us informed on how she is doing with updates and we can already see she has the perfect temperament we look for in our breeding dogs and know she is going to have babies we can be proud of !
when they dropped her off to go on their camping trip to the beach they brought us wee wee pads to
help raise the puppies we had here at the time.

and adult Ruby for her mom, from us :
such a special family the Passey's came to us years ago asking to adopt a puppy no one wanted . How unique to find so loving a home who preferred to give a good home to a pup with a disability. We did happen to have a little girl with one bad eye, we think it was scratched by that mom's nail and hadn't made her available on the website. They came and gave her a loving home for many happy years then asked for a retired dog "Cinder" went to the family, then asked for a retiree for her mom too, who lives close by, and a little boy puppy for their son. We loved working with them over and over for a total of 4 sunshine beagles !
we knew our retired already house trained Ruby would be a perfect fit she didn't need alot of exercise like a youngster would require of Cheri's mom, and would get along great with the new puppy when she visits her grandson. Since he was raised around her here in our cabin :)he is the black pup above at the toy basket.
She also gets to see her buddy Cinder who the Passey family already adopted from us last year. Their land is unfenced ,but we had Cinder loose here for many years on our Acreage so we knew that would work fine.

It is just amazing how quickly the pups mature... this am. when Miss Christina went in to check on the babies they had joined mom above on the dog bed we put down for her in front of their box we raised them in :)
they had just opened their eyes and started to walk,
"Gracen" khaki mini sire and "Paisley"s
puppies have all found homes.
puppies have all found homes.
"Gracen's" Grandmom was "Grace"a mini khaki female we did Pet Therapy for Seniors with , and bred only twice . We kept her daughters Promise and Hope.
"Grace" was Miss Christina's side kick , she followed her everywhere even to Myrtle Beach a time or two.
Miss C. and sidekick Grace about to meet with customer's a few years ago back in the days when it was safe to meet people indoors.
we kept a daughter "Hope" who's daughter"Promise" had "Gracen" (next to a Fall Pumpkin below)
to keep the bloodline going we kept him as our mini sire.

"Coal" now "Dexter" has a very unique look, his little white paws are very rare , most beagles have white all the way up their legs.
When Miss Christina semi retired and moved from NC. to Naples Florida to help her elderly folks both "Grace"and never bred granddaughter "Gracie"
went home with a repeat customer couple who begged to have them. They had adopted a former retired sunshine beagle khaki female years ago, and wanted adult khaki females again they enjoyed their first retiree "Snowflake" so much they told us.

The timing was amazing , they reached out asking to adopt Grace even before we announced Miss C. was moving in with her parents to help them sell their home, and find a retirement senior center to move to . Here she holds her gals the day they are adopted by a couple wanting their 3rd and 4th retired Khaki sunshine Beagle lady.
all Paisley's puppies have been adopted now. We want to thank all those who wanted one
there were only 2 boys and 2 girls adopted out we kept our favorite to keep this
super special bloodline with "Grace" in the ancestry going for Miss Christina to
enjoy her over 30yrs of developing it.

she sure looks alot like her pretty mom Paisley and her older siter by the same parents our mini "Gracious"
as a puppy "Lia" was larger than her khaki sister who we also kept for ourselves :)"tiny Gracious"
Miss C.'s son Cody loves the more chunky puppies with bigger features.
"Lia" has dark eye liner and a gorgeous slick coat that barely looses any fur .
Her tiny khaki sister is half her size. we let tiny Gracious find a Pet Therapy home to join working with Veterans
and Lia has joined a returning family in Charlotte getting her to keep their 2nd sunshine beagle company after loosing their 1st to old age.

She is "Cindy's" sister and is built smaller than Cindy so she only had 2 pups
but they got all the milk and are supersized lol...

the next yr her sister Cindy had another litter for us and then we let them adopt her as well !!

Her tri colored boy was very chunky

Cody loves the bigger built pups with thick
legs and bigger paws like his.

Miss Christina's son is crazy about this fatty....
we were looking for someone local to ask for him who plans to let us baby sit in the future as he grows up we would love to see him again and follow along to see how this bloodline turns out size wise.
the family who adopted him said they would let him come back to sire a litter for us when he is old enough and they might want a pup by him:)

Buddy napping before he left us, he liked to hang out with the kids
Our adorable "Buddy" with his new family now, sent:" kisses" to his sunshine beagle family, and these update photos to let his mom Princess and Miss C. and kiddos know he is happy with his new family
and even their pets are taking a liking to him!
and even their pets are taking a liking to him!
"Kisses from Buddy- he’s doing great! "
see his pics
they sent this cute picture of "Princess's only boy "Buddy" on a Beach with his new family ,
and one with their hound .
and one with their hound .
it doesnt get much cuter than this .... omg, how sweet . We laughed and said that was a great match,
He will be one of, if not our biggest beagle pup this year, 2nd only to his sister we are keeping . Good thing they love hounds they told us , they have had Bassettes, and Beagle and hound mixes he is more sturdy than the smaller pups will be , looks like a Great Fit !

after having only 2 puppies in her litter we decided to let Princess find a good pet home to join
we retired Princess to a good home , they had lost their rescued beagle that looked alot like her. Brenda shows her to her mom who rode along on the trip , and missed their previous tri colored beagle.
The same couple who adopted Princess came back to adopt her sister Cindy so the pair could retire together!
Paisley and Gracen
when she had her first litter she did so well we kept two of the sisters for ourselves !
just imagine picking up this 49 lb. standard male it takes everything Miss Christina has to carry him whereas lifting Gracious or her Daddy Gracen is easy with just one arm to carry the mini size khaki's on, leaving the other hand free to do things along their way. His 17lbs is easy to Lift for her.
here full grown "Gracious" sits next to a
Standard size Tri colored male.
both are full grown but there is quite a difference in the overall sizes and especially the weight of the pair.

Khaki mini girl "Gracious" was going to be a
Therapy Dog before Covid !! Due to covid we decided we no longer plan to be going into senior centers :(
Her fur is less shedding, and she is the tiniest beagle so far :) perfect for a Lap Dog, Companion Pet.
she was adopted by a Psychiatrist from Philly who works with our Veterans. She will get to fulfill Miss C's dream of her being a loving little pet therapy lap dog to provide comfort to anyone who needs it.

Orange and white "Lia" 's daddy Liam :
older pup "Liam" has been adopted now … His new family came from Raleigh to meet him and take him back home to their condo. We had Bianca brought up from our southern Ga location and she has now been taken up to Raliegh to join the happy new pack as well, they say Liam loves other dogs and think it will be nice to have a pair of pups to entertain one another :) things have already been going great now that she is also a part of the family to keep him entertained when they are busy . Beagles are a pack animal
and love one another.
and love one another.
the couple didnt have kids in the home so they decided to get 2 beagles to enjoy, and keep one another company when they are busy. We think this works well .
Cody and Nef hand delivered Bianca to Tom and Kathy and Liam
at their condo in Raleigh so they didn't have to make the drive back to adopt her the weekend after taking him home.
He was a very calm and shy boy and they tell us having her has actually helped him be playful with her and more comfortable in his new home and family . They were thankful to have decided on a pair of beagle puppies rather than just one :) she has brought him out of his shell, and he is playing more now that she is there .

good adoptees understand this and show it in their sincerity

Potential family member to be.
both Miss Christina ( founder of Sunhine beagle pups) and her kids spend time with our dogs interacting and handling them daily . We adore our bloodline of house pet, homebody beagle babies and adults :)
Daughter Christi prepares the paperwork and printed material we will give to the adopting family the next day while now retired Grace lays nearby on the couch and a tiny Pocket Beagle comes out of the nice wooden dog crate/coffee table next to the love seat where a thoughtful adopter dropped off some towels and sheets she no longer used in the new house she bought with a fenced yard for her baby beagle to grow up in.
We need more now that Miss C. is breeding again in NC. and so appreciate donations of sheets your kids have outgrown , even torn ones are ok for birthing, since mom dogs often shred the bedding in their area making a nest in preparation for birthing a litter of newborns in a soft absorbent spot.

Hello,
We got our last beagle puppy in October of 2003 at Sunshine Acres and recently lost him in October of this year. We are hoping to find another wonderful boy beagle pup at one of your locations after the 1st of the new year. We are just the 2 of us living in a single family house with an invisible fence and a doggy door in the Carolina Lakes community in Sanford, NC. We are looking for a small tricolor male beagle puppy. We can pick up personally at either location you have. My husband is retired and I work only part-time, so the pup would rarely be left alone at home. We just love the breed and our Augie, our last sunshine beagle, was just the best dog we’ve ever had…sweet, funny and so lovable.
We are both addicted to beagles!

Iams is no longer made by the Eukanuba Company
and we prefer Euk for its extra omega 3 fish oils for skin and coat . see our links to Chewy to order online from our suggested items page . It costs you no more to use our link and we get a small commission that helps us afford to feed the best dog food as we wait for income again this spring when we have pups again:) |
we feed our dogs healthy ingrediants to start them out right and our customer's stick with them, we see this when they come drop off their sunshine beagle and bring their dogs food when we babysit for them :)

We prefer to feed Eukanuba , it has the best ingredients and is preserved naturally with vit. E tocopherol
rather than man made harmful ones some dog foods use. Vitamin e is helpful for their fur and helps shed less.
It also has the Omega 3 fatty acids that are good for you. Since it can be ordered from Petsmart etc. it keeps us from having to go inside stores to feed our dogs at sunshine acres beagles in NC.

is easy to add in , and

Miss C. cooks most days... the way she see's it the dogs provide for us, and we are so thankful for them,
so we think of their needs constantly and cook up lots of chicken, and meats, to go in with our dog food here at sunshine beagles. We know a good diet plays a role in how slick and beautiful and often
( less shedding ) their coat is :) some has to do with ancestry , and some with diet :)

Miss Christina loves to pamper and spoil our Mommies when they are expecting a litter :)
2 mom's get to be off leash in our yard:)
2 mom's get to be off leash in our yard:)
sometimes moma dogs worry about their newborns and not themselves and tend to their little ones more than eating . Miss Christina has over 30 yrs experience and knows the tricks to get them to have an appetite … no one can resist chunks of cheese,Ham, or livermush , this cuts that build up of bile churning in the pit of your stomach that keeps you from wanting to eat sometimes, then once they get something in their tummy they can eat dog food again. Putting warm broth on it helps with the appeal below "Lucky" licks her chops!!
often we add in fresh or canned Goat Milk & Salmon to the Eukanuba & Iams Puppy food they receive to add vitamins and minerals and Omega 3 for beautiful Coats , most beagle breeders dont go to this expense.
Besides the Omega 3 fish oils , and real meat in Eukanuba dog food we often add extra healthy beneficial
ingredients like Folic acid, and bee pollen, thera coat , probiotics and real meat with our Moma dogs food to make some of the cutest beagle puppies around folks tell us . We think they are worth the extra effort

we love it when our adopting families send their puppy care packages ahead for their little darlings to have familiar toys , beds, blankets , chewtoys .
Often they help us in our mission to produce happy healthy beagle pups they will soon take home with their familiar items and littermates scents on their things to comfort them in a new place the first few nights away from us .
one of our favorite families over our 30 + years of breeding beagles for family companions who have adopted
5 of our babies over the years to their beagle loving pack in Rhode Island bring us local coffee syrup we just loved each visit they would bring t-shirts and goodies for the doggies and even remembered us and all our hard work raising up their newest babies... with chocolates when they adopted from chocolate mom Darcey this last time....

We so appreciate it when adoptive families help by sending food , and treats we can share with their new family members mother and littermates as they grow here , its great knowing they will continue to give our recommended brand of puppy and dog food so our little ones develop into healthy dogs with long happy lives with their new family :)
having their own toys , bed, blanket, and treats here with their pack before they leave us,
helps them feel comfy in the new home....
since those items are familiar, and have the littermates scent already on them, to take to their new home.

khaki stud muffin Gracen has a very special less shedding fur coat that shines. its hard to find more than a piece or two of loose hair on his back and his fur lays down slick against him. Often like this boarding dog's coat a beagle has a longer piece of hair than his, and they tend to come out easily especially from certain bloodlines that haven't focused on this over the years as they selectively choose animals to improve the breed the way we have done for almost 30 years now working to improve the beagle for housedogs.
Tuffy the tri boy has been adopted by repeat customer's from Seattle wa. who asked to have Cody fly him out to them since this time Kim was expecting their first child.Last time she had flown into Charlotte Douglas international airport to pick up their first sunshine beagle boy :"Silver Shadow".
in training to be a housepet couch potatoe Tuffy hangs out while we work on computers and phones..
while most beagles have a longer piece of course fur that was designed to come loose in the hunt for rabbits (so they wouldn't get caught in the briar patches and could slip thru the stickers), their fur came loose easily . we have gone against the norm and worked for almost 30 years to improve our various bloodlines for many pet home friendly qualities.. among these are our softer coats.
quite often it is our rare color beagles that have the least shedding fur. Not all dogs are the same of course , just as not all kids in a family have the same color hair , and one may be curly while another is straight, We have selected our breeding dogs over the years with the best fur in order to improve our beagle puppies for pet homes. Tuffy has now flown with Cody home to his new family in Seattle . Kim met us at charlotte douglas international airport last adoption to take their silver beagle home on board the plane. this time they asked for Cody to fly out to bring their new family member to them and he was happy to get to go back where he was born to show it to his new wife :)

Tuffy is was adopted by repeat customer's as a playmate for a sunshine beagle in Seattle Washington his new mom asked about having Cody fly him out to them since she is expecting and didn't want to travel this time.
cute Tuffy on the arm of the couch , Paisley behind , and Gracen with retiring Jinglebelle on the dog bed.
Charlotte Douglas International Dog Rest Area .
Cody puts a nice new collar on Tuffy for the trip he picked up at PetSmart .
Tuffy likes the carrier bag he is to travel across country in and after a little time at the dog area in Charlotte before their flight he decides to go back in it to relax.
they were nice enough to drive the kids to their hotel from the airport. from the Inn at Queen Ann they picked up a Seattle One Pass and got to do a lot of sight seeing around town before heading home :)
Cody and wife Nef offer to do a courier trip and bring Tuffy onboard the plane and then get to visit the area he was born in in Washington State.
from the pictures above we can see it all worked out perfectly, he is a good buddy for Shadow , and the Baby!
silver "Shadow" has super short legs just what they hoped for so he is a smaller built beagle while their son is an infant and growing up he will be easier to handle.
Looks like the pair of sunshine boys get along just great. Getting a 2nd
gives your 1st a buddy when your busy :)

orange and white boy Prestley found his new family with repeat customer's who have already had 2 sunshine beagles so far ! they have written to say he is fitting in great with their girl Syd who had been gaining weight after loosing their older beagle. Now she is lively and having fun playing and running it off with her new bestie Prestley. She loves being active again and he is sleeping with David and his wife like he grew up there already they told us . They were glad he was a bit older so she could start off enjoying him rather than a younger baby in a play pen going on paper.
"Prestley" likes being outdoors with you , he loved going outside with Miss C. and romping around while she checked on things this Fall.
orange and white "Prestley" plays with Miss C's keeper khaki "Gracen" . Gracen is full grown now , he is a khaki mini male … see the longer legs of younger Prestley vs his short legs and shorter body. We hope to have him sire some litters for us in the future to keep Grace's bloodline going for others to enjoy lighter easier to lift pets .
Often folks tell us all about their home and family from the start and we so appreciate knowing where our little one is about to go. We know the dogs' personalities and how their offspring will tend to turn out pretty well after breeding beagles for over 30+ years, and we can help suggest a great match for your family if you haven't fallen for a specific puppy that is currently available.
we offer Pampered Pet Boarding for Sunshine Beagles near Charlotte North Carolina .
one of the things our family loves about doing this is getting to see many of our beagles all grown up when their families let us watch them for them as they travel to visit family and friends.
They know our beagles are all we watch here in our home, and they know each other, and love seeing one another again here , and staying in their First home vs a kennel somewhere unfamiliar :) we love seeing um again !
Happy Holidays
Over the years many of our local customers have commented how reassuring it was to adopt where they could bring their new family member home when they needed to go out of town. Having us here to watch their pet means peace of Mind they tell us :) no matter what holiday they are leaving town to celebrate !
we are pretty much always here and able to watch your sunshine beagle for you :)

Janice tells us adopting already adult "Eve" was wonderful , her daughter moved out of state with her sunshine beagle adult male she got from us as a puppy while attending college, and running Marathons . He helped with her weekend training . Janice said they visited on weekends when she had time off from attending NC State , then once her daughter got married and moved away with her fiancee' out of state she was all alone. She reached out and asked for an adult to keep her company, so we allowed our moma dog "Eve"
to retire and join her. She got her sunshine retiree ... our Eve keeps her company :)

Miss Christina's son Cody is living in Monroe helping his mom once again after graduating Suma Cum Laude from UNC Asheville where he met and married his wife . Cody worked for Americorps again after graduating this time in Asheville till she graduated also and they moved into their own brand new camper in front of Miss Christina's Log Cabin next to the brickhome we sold. He is happy to board for our customers when they travel . Boarding doggie retired tri colored mom "Eve" arriving when her owner leaves town we love seeing dogs we raised again !
Single Gal Michelle got one of our favorite puppies Teddy, we told her we would love to have him sire a litter like him one day... she brought him to visit while one of our appropriate females was ready and 2 months latter when the litter arrived sired by Teddy we gave her a son to keep Teddy company at times when she is busy working or going out . Not all our dogs we breed live onsite at sunshine acres many are Beloved Pets.
Cody carries her out to Janice's car when she arrives to pick her up and head home.
many of our breeding dogs are actually family members , after we learn about their personality and good qualities... they come breed and then take home an offspring or some folks choose free boarding.

As a small family, we are devoting our time and attention to caring for our beagles and current puppies here at home. When a new litter is born, we handle each puppy with love, we drink our coffee, and we take turns staying up around the clock to ensure each baby nurses and thrives.
When you're ready to contact us, we also want to learn about you! Once you've taken time to learn about our family's adoption process by appreciating our many helpful topics, Email us to tell us about yourself as a potential forever home, and how one of our babies would fit in there with your household- then we can include your interest as we match our puppies with their forever homes! When we are in between responsibilities here, we can take that time to update our website and then review emails and approve sincere interests who have already done their research and are ready for the commitment of adding a Sunshine Acres Beagle Puppy to their home!
Please understand that we are a small family working full time here with our beagles, and we appreciate potential adoptee's "patience and understanding" of the fact that our family, pups and forever homes come first, not sales. We try to answer everyone whenever possible, but if we missed your email please do kindly remind us of your interest in adopting a companion and how your new pup would fit in!
we do look for adoptees with patience... but also appreciate persistence :)
that shows us they will be loving and patient with our loved one who is learning from their teaching as it grows into a family member ... and persistent in showing it how to best fit in their pack.

A day can go by quickly around here, between feeding everyone individually, making sure all newborns are healthy and clean, paper-training, washing toys, bowls and beds, tending to household duties here with our pack... you get the picture!

our pups are not hunting hound beagles they are raised with lots of TLC. and care.

In addition, we snap pictures as often as possible of our current cuties, so that we can update the website. Our many fans and pre-approved homes check in often to see our updates online -- on the babies we're caring, what our family has been up to recently, and who has found their own match!
Once we're ready to allow a puppy to be claimed, we work to match each available puppy with the right, approved, forever home -- one by one! We know the dogs' personalities and how their offspring will tend to turn out pretty well after breeding beagles for over 27 years, so we can help suggest a great match for your family if you haven't fallen for a specific puppy that is currently available.
some days we are meeting with customers here for adoptions... others we might have some sunshine beagles coming to board with us where they were born :)
Since we are constantly moving around doing things taking calls slows us down so we prefer emailing so we can complete everything we need to do to take good care of our dogs here in the countryside. email works best for us so we can take our time considering details and next steps, during those random moments we catch between chores! We love to answer Subject lines with a certain puppy mentioned in them first if possible -- if the family is an appropriate one for that puppy to join, we dearly love letting them get the very one they asked for and it happens often that way here!
While we keep ourselves busy around here, please take your time to read over all the information we have provided from over our 27+ years of raising companion beagles. It's important to us that homes have spent time considering this important decision to adopt a puppy to raise and enjoy for the years to come, before asking us for a puppy!
Before contacting us, we ask that each interest first do research on the process of adding a puppy and raising a responsible family member; read over our website and know details like who we are (a.k.a. the people hand-raising their potential family member!), where we are, the price of the puppies in the size and color they prefer, and so forth. This allows us that precious time to devote to hand-raising little family members, and helps us know someone is serious about connecting with our family.
We have approved families drive and fly to us from across the United States!

Audrey and sister Lucky sit in the driveway
looking to see who is coming out of the cabin , and where they are heading... they both could be off in the acres and acres of unfenced- in woods surrounding us ... but they prefer to be near us, and are ok "off leash "here at our acreage property in the Monroe countryside. |
Raising our puppies with the right start for pet homes is where a majority of our time is devoted, so we hope everyone appreciates the fact that raising little family members comes first for our family !
at Sunshine acres Miss Christina and her kids have spent over 30 years developing our unique house pet companions by spending lots of time with them as they are born and grow up to be adoption age and ready to join good pet homes and become your new family addition :)
Tri colored Mom "Lucky"
Talk about a lucky dog...
Lucky is one of our adult beagles we can allow loose off leash on our acreage property . she shows that our beagles are homebodies.
she is quite often a "greeter" here as folks arrive to board their sunshine beagles or pick up a new family member from us :)

Greetings ! Lucky and Audrey say hello .. they are from the same mom as this boarders adult male Coops who visits often when the family travels.
Frequent Boarder Dave Arrives at sunshine acres with Lucky and Audrey's brother by the same mother. Different litter and different dad.
"Cooper" is a large "Standard" size beagle . His dad lets him out off leash here he knows how well his boy minds and trusts him. and when its time to go home he runs to the truck and jumps in !!

"hop in , Good Boy Coops !! " our beagles are chosen for housepets and we love seeing how well he minds off leash showing he is centered in the Family not hunting mindset since we have wooded acreage all around a hunting hound line would run off to explore if not leashed . Dave and his family have done a great job raising him with love and it shows in the respect he has for them and love he gives back . We really enjoy seeing our beagles as they grow into wonderful companion pets and Boarding here helps keep us in touch :)
The single dad his dad and his son all live together and already had a sunshine beagle they previously adopted from us. This time they got an adult "Gunner" our retiring stud and his pup by Audrey.

-Lucky visits the office to say good bye to our stud muffin Gunner in the wooden coffee table crate , and his puppy he is being adopted /retired along with- going to a father son too. (the puppy was her sister Audrey and Gunner's cutie )
Lucky is just that her days consist of hanging out , waiting on us to walk from one house to the other checking on things . she follows along and then chills out on the deck till someone does something else to be curious about :)
Lucky had one little girl for us who went home at Christmas
to join a family who contacted us for approval and got word they were getting to claim their favorite while on Vacation at Disney World in Florida. Mrs. Prater told us she jumped for joy when she read the email from Miss Christina who was visiting her folks in Naples Fla. for Thanksgiving Holidays. Mom's have an area to raise their little ones with a doggie door
and heat lamp above and heating pad below the sheets. |
we don't have lemon beagles in our line any more.

We found they tend to shed alot more than the bloodlines we have worked to develop and
its a longer piece of white fur and comes loose more easily , and year around rather than seasonally like
some of our beagles who loose winter fur after its no longer needed to stay warm:)

Mom's get a healthy diet that is supplimented with goat milk and cheeses, our fresh eggs, half and half and meats cooked up daily to tempt them to eat well , and produce good rich milk for their little babies to thrive on as they grow.
At around 4 weeks they begin relying less on mom and more and more on us for their nourishment and directions as they prepare to become independent of the mom and ready to adopt.
the last few weeks they are weaned and have gotten over seeing her daily . Once that happens moms can go back to hanging out here at sunshine acres and following us around lol...
