Meet the Sunshine Acres beagles Family!
We are a small family in Monroe North Carolina
Miss Christina and her two kids Christi & Cody,
Miss Christina and her two kids Christi & Cody,
We started out raising beagles for pets in the Northwest with champion companion lines,
and then moved to the East coast to be closer to Miss C's parents
and brought our beagles from the Northwest with us to the south to share with other families who just wanted a beagle for a pet, who had no interest in running off to track Rabbits as other breeders lines are designed to do.

Miss Christina in 4th grade with her first beagle from hunting background, she would climb out of our fence and hunt in the fields near our home. Growing up loving my dog and fearing for her safety wasn't fun . She would often be gone all night and come back down our road in the morning …
later in high school with Katie on our front porch. as i grew up we feared for her crossing the roads when she was done tracking rabbits in the woods around us, as they developed our neighborhood .. we finally found her a home in the country for her safety when my family moved to Hawaii my senior year of High School.
Miss C. adopted Angel who stuck around our Woodinville Wash.acreage Property off leash and went to parks and rv parks with us without even bringing one with us, she minded so well .
and before starting a family she raised "Angel" her first furry kid to get practice being responsible for another, " being "

In 1990, Christina's daughter Christi was born, and Angel quickly became a helper in watching over newborn Christi.
Miss Christina became a stay at home mom and fell in love with the idea of family pet beagles from companion lines rather than the hunting hounds she grew up trying to make a pet out of in the south. Companion Dog CDX titled lines

kid tested , mother approved !
cody and Christi play as youngsters in Seattle where our unique line began from companion dog CDX champion lines.
these dogs were not designed to track and hunt the way my previous hunting background beagle was and stuck around as the kids grew up in \Washington State before we brought our unique line back to the south for pet homes across the country to enjoy as companions.

Having grown up with a beagle as a child, and then having beagles as an adult, Miss Christina's love for beagles inspired her to focus on developing Companion beagles for the pet home.
She developed new colors with luxurious coats within her beagle bloodline, and called our new unique color beauties (like her favorite dog Grace) "Khaki" because they matched khaki pants. Her mom noticed the rare colors matched many of her interior design clients tastes and commented they complimented most contemporary homes décor :) After a customer said hold that khaki puppy till I can come pick him up he matches my Lexus we jokingly called those our Yuppie Puppies and they became famous for their luxurious soft, and often shorter less shedding coats which were also great as indoor pets.
adding a birthing room to the house Miss Christina
and Grace were able to sleep next to where moms were giving birth thru-out the night.
She also developed the smaller sizes within her beagle bloodline, and named them "Minis". She began Sunshine Acres so that she could not only breed and raise her favorite breed, housepet beagles, but so that she could also be at home to raise kids Christi and Cody.
Miss Christina's son Cody enjoys volunteering and does Hands on Charlotte senior center pet therapy visits growing up using our pet Grace . This Holiday Season a gentleman from up North contacted us and asked if Cody would visit his mom in a Myers Park Senior Center in Charlotte. He told us he grew up with his mom keeping him in Beagles his whole life and thought she would love to see a cute little puppy more than she would want a floral arrangement that would last only a few days . He hired Sunshine Acres to do "Puppy Therapy" for his mother for Christmas !
our little family has been so blessed over the years to know such wonderful people thru our work . we are very thankful .
Christi takes a puppy in for a Health Certification to fly out of state at our wonderful Vet's office in nearby Lancaster South Carolina.
both Miss C's kids have grown up adoring our beagles and spending time since they were born . We adore the breed and want to improve it for homebody housepets that fit in with their families. the kids both spend a lot of time with them as they grow up with us until adopted , and their new owners quite often too, we have made many friends who feel like we do about beagles !
Christi befriends Candace at the Charlotte airport when she serves as courier to transport her first sunshine beagle puppy there . Candace stays in touch and the next year invites Christi to fly her second sunshine beagle puppy out to Vegas to hand deliver her to the family and stay with them for a week of shopping and hanging out with their adopted daughter who is Christi's age in the family restaurant .
repeat customer's from vegas use their credit card points to fly Christi out with their second sunshine beagle puppy, the family owns a restaurant and has her stay a few days to tour the town with their same age daughter before she leaves ... neat!
we love the many friendships our family has enjoyed over the yrs with our extended beagle loving pack across the country.
it means a lot to us when folks share what they do with our family since they are getting to adopt what we do from our family to theirs.
now you know about us... please take time to tell us about yourself and the home you have for one of our puppies to join !
