Adoptees can contact Miss Christina with their preferred dates so we can coordinate the pick up of 6 beagle puppies going home.
some folks are flying in and we wont all be home those days when doing courier trips to Charlotte Douglas airport to do adoptions
so please let us know the dates your considering before booking a flight in too, so it all works smoothly. adoptions can begin April 9th.
we have split the big litter up now and the bigger pups are in a wire play pen set up in Cody’s old bedroom. He and his wife are staying in the house rather than their camper on the acreage property to help keep a watch on the litter with Miss C. watching over the tiny puppies in the box in the livingroom. Sunny had been taking turns with us putting her in with each group every few hours but now her milk has dried up and she isnt thrilled to be put in with them any longer… ( she’s thinking they have teeth now…)
now she is like “Gotta Go” wasn’t as hard to keep her there…. when she still at least had some milk for them to download for her LOL
Now can you just get me back out she says….I’ve done my part. Its up to you to feed them now .
all the mini puppies are still in the whelping box in our living room they were born in .
“Family raised beagle puppies” in Monroe, North Carolina for over 30 yrs we have bred for House pet Beagles, and indoor companions.
( currently we have our very last litter we will have here in NC. Miss C. really is retiring this time LOL.
there are 7 puppies theyve been weaned now and have had their shots done and 3 wormings so far.
5 out of 6 available puppies have been claimed by Returning customers so far…
that says alot about their 1st experiences with us and our babies !
1 standard sized orange girl left as of 3/28/2025.
she had fun today playing in the front yard with us watching over her as she ran around to see everything
we think the standard orange girl that is still available will be a fun addition for someone, she likes to keep up and follow you around already!
she watches while miss C holds her and Cody works on adding in pickets so pups cant get out the sides of our new steps to the porch. We know that experiences and loud noises that are new to them can cause concern so we do things like hammering nails, using leaf blowers on the driveway and vacum the carpet in the livingroom so they are more acustomed to loud sounds when they dont have littermates around
she is big enough to start learning to climb steps now
we are keeping the tiny mini khaki girl but wont be breeding her
Pretty amazing when you catch your kid with their phone down LOL…
she will just be light enough for Miss C to easily carry around as a companion pet beagle to keep her company once she fully retires this time LOL.
We live out in the countryside above a neighbor’s pond, on a hillside covered in large Oak trees, our spoiled beagles enjoy a good life in our little Log Cabin way off the road.
Silver Cinder hangs out on our back deck chair… ahh the life
We skipped Breeding during 2024 and this will be our last litter as Miss C. retires from breeding. We will still Board for our customers who Travel , they love knowing their family member will be treated like one of ours… since in fact, they were !!
Miss Christina with her Khaki Stud muffin Gracen,
and on her lap Maya who was one of our pups we placed locally so she gets to visit when her family goes on Vacations !
Christi visited from Chapel Hill, when Maya was a pup and loved that cutie !
“Happy” the sire of this litter is a first time dad .
we let him stay with Sunny this time Miss C. let them decide if we would have one last litter here and didnt supervise LOL.
they did a terrific job and created 7 pups of all sizes and all were Rare Colored Beagle Puppies !
Our favorite of all time keeper “Happy” the litter’s daddy is the most snuggly boy, he loves to be close to you and or touching you. His fur is our very best and feels like Velvet on top of his head so we love that he is so docile and lets us cuddle !
Happy has to be up against me at night and will curl up against my back just right
he and Gracen have become buddies and keep Miss C.’s feet nice and warm together lol..
when you first add a new family member you can still give your current dog the attention they are used to and gradually introduce their future playmate/best bud. We let Gracen know he wasnt being replaced just getting a new shadow lol…
Happy grew up following Gracen’s lead around sunshine acres and before long the two were having fun together and Miss C. was able to not feel guilty leaving Gracen alone. Now Gracen enjoys having a pal and it makes having the boys out of the house while sunnys babies are in the living room ok . They have a nice room of the addition to the house with a doggie door and big acreage fenced yard above the Pond to hang out in while the pups are hand raised.
at first Gracen who was always with Miss C. wasnt sure he wanted a pup … LOL
hey mom all the other pups left , why is this one still here?
it didnt take long till they were pals… and now , Gracen wouldnt be Happy with out him !!
we have so enjoyed adding Happy into Gracen’s and our lives ,
and now will be adding “Joy” our tiny khaki girlie by Happy and Sunny ! she is also a cuddle bug like her dad and Miss C. is already smitten
I mean come on….. is there anything more adorable than a pup falling fast asleep on you ??
Sunshine Acres Beagles is a short drive out into the countryside near Charlotte North Carolina
son Cody helps take care of our pups as they grow up here in our home, one on one time with human care givers really makes a big difference in their perception of being a social member of your family.
Gracen our sire of several litters has very short legs -so he enjoyes hanging out on a elevated dog bed on the front porch he loves anything that gives him some height and has a favorite log in the front yard he jumps onto to see who is coming up the driveway
Adoptions from our home in Monroe NC.
most folks choose to drive to us, its good to have a box or crate along if needed, as well as wee wee pads and some clorox wipes, a few chew toys or greenies, etc. help give the new pup something to do on the drive back home in the car.
we keep a supply of toys and blankets for those folks who wish to purchase one that we can already have littermates scent on like this family did.
we wont have need for so many puppy things once they all find homes and are more than happy to provide what we have on hand.
This Monroe family found us and got one of our pups a few years ago, coming out during Covid , we met out in our shady driveway on adoption day..
when they go to the Beach or travel they bring her back to us to watch her !
as a small family breeder we love getting to know the folks who adopt from us here in Monroe NC.
(all grown up now she hangs out with her Daddy Gracen our sire of her litter)
they sent us this adorable set of photos of Lillie Rose growing up with their son’s out on their family farm near us…
when they go to the Beach or travel they bring her back to us to watch her !
(she grew up coming out to stay with us over the yrs. Her family told us we are the only place they would trust to care for her )
as a small family breeder we love getting to know the folks who adopt from us here in Monroe NC.
Lillie Rose chills out on the couch in our living room with Miss Christina’s son Cody while boarding with us
she loves coming home to us , now she has a younger brother we kept a couple yrs ago to play with when she comes!
Her family brings her own crate and bed for her to relax in, we leave the door open for her and she goes in when she needs a nap lol
We also love it when our sunshine families stay in touch as their sunshine beagle family member grows!
they sent us these adorable shots of Lillie Rose all grown up …..watching for Santa one Christmas too cute !!
After over 35 years breeding for Family companion pets we have one last litter available before Miss Christina finally retires. Our orange girl Sunny and khaki stud Happy have 7 beauties !!
Happy hangs out with his gal Sunny who was very Pregnant watching the Super Bowl and keeping an eye on her .
Cody set up her birthing box in his room so he could watch over her the last days till they were born
the puppies arrived all day and all night long a few days before Valentines Day !
we knew she was just full and ready to Pop , so we let her go wherever she wanted to get comfy as she awaited breaking her water.
Sunny was like GoldyLocks that morning before her litter arrived… trying out several locations to have them in…she crawled under a bench in Miss C.’s room so she gave her a flat dog bed to lay on for a few hours panting as they do before the babies start arriving one by one around an hour apart usually … and to our amazement Happy came in on the bed with Miss C and she didnt seem to mind.
normally a birthing mom doesnt want anyone in that could be seen as a threat to her newborns , but we guess she knew Happy
was no threat , he’s just to sweet, he just wanted to give her support as she had his kids !
then he jumped down and was allowed next to her for a few hours as she prepared to Deliver his offspring . Just amazing to see for Miss c.

we are happy to meet with folks who prefer to fly into Charlotte Douglas International airport, and turn around and fly home with their new family member onboard the plane with them home..
for repeat customer’s we can often fly into their airport with their new family member onboard the plane with us.
(Here Christi was taking a puppy to a repeat customer in California
Alexa came out to pick up her 1st Sunshine Beagle from NY at that time, a few yrs. later when she moved to take care of her dad in Sacramento , she couldnt come to us so she flew Christi out to help her get the new baby set up with her other sunshine beagle there in her dad’s home. )
Christi onboard the airplane taking Alexa’s 2nd sunshine beagle to her in Sacramento .
Meeting her new little sis at the airport grassy area in California Alexa takes Christi and her new addition to Sacramento .
her older orange girl and new addition got along great and Christi got spend the night with Alexa and, visit a friend in Calif before flying back to NC.
we can no longer ship puppies at this time.
Miss Christina spent the morning calling airlines and found out our Preferred way to ship pups in years past Delta Petsafe where they have heated and airconditioned areas for pets, not cargo areas … is no longer doing Pet shipping . they stoped during the pandemic and have not reopened since.
for that reason we are sorry to say we are not able to do any shipping of puppies , owners will need to come to us and bring them onboard inside their plane going home this year, just as the family above did. We can arrange to bring your pup to the airport and hand deliver it to you inside the arrivals area. We appologize for anyone who was hoping to ship a puppy home
some folks fly into Charlotte Douglas International airport and rent a car , or Limo in Karen’s first case she came out to meet us and leave her depost ot get on our waiting list for a Khaki nano female she named “Pixie” …
below Karen and full grown “Pixie” take a carriage ride together
for their 2nd sunshine khaki nano beagle “Trixie’s” adoption
Karen and Jon Rubenstein flew into Charlotte, from London where she was working, and San Fran…for her adoption day
and we took them out to fly out of our local Monroe airport
off to their beachfront home in Florida with their new additon onboard the private Jet !!
shopping with a beagle in your pocket LOL…
most folks drive down to us near Charlotte NC. and pick up their new baby in person .
back for another the Robies and Carrie’s mom Dianne who has her own 2 sunshine beagles now drive down each time,
they add another sunshine beagle to their PACK…
we warn folks they are like Lays Potatoe Chips…. you can’t have just one LOL !
here they are taking a family walk in their neighborhood…
and they plan to add Sunny’s chocolate mini girlie next !!
Many of our returning customer’s adding another sunshine beagle puppy bring along their current ones too so we can see them again !
we love this so much ! they do say Beagles are a Pack animal and are happiest with others !!
we brought our beagle bloodline from the North West
after finding the show dogs, and companion pet beagle lines in Seattle when we lost a hunting bloodline beagle we had brought out with us, to be much more people oriented and less hunting instinct. We brought back some Companion Pet Champion offspring to the South, and selectively kept the best from over 30+yrs of breeding for Homebodies who just want to be with their family !
Start by finding the currently available puppy you like , then email Miss C. with your home and family details so we can help find the perfect match!
sunshinebeagles@yahoo.com
as the pups get their teeth in , Sunny spends less and less time in with them. Now we are adding warm Puppy Formula , mixed with some Eukanuba puppy canned food to give her a break LOL
to encourage her to stay in and let them nurse longer Miss C. hands her piece of Jerky treats Mocha’s adopting family sent to help us keep her going!
the Dunnuck family have already sent us a puppy care package we so appreciate the help keeping mom making healthy milk for their pup to grow on.
these treats are easy to break into bite size pieces if you wish to , and this gives Miss Christina something to hand sunny as she is nursed by the gang…with teeth in now.. we still want them to have some of her milk as they wean, and go to dog food ( we know what’s in IT… we fed it to her)
the blanket they sent for her was out of this world soft and plush… she loved being on it and having her own little teddy bear to play with.
they even thought to send a big Bully stick for sunny, she was so tickled to have that she ran all around the house carrying it , then went out front and lay there chewing for a long time… its good for mom’s to spend some time away so she can build up her store of milk while no one is tapping it..
we use Faulkner Animal Hospital in nearby Lancaster SC.
Sunshine Acres Beagles
sunnys choc. mini girl who is claimed on left, available standard sized orange and white girl on right above

Once the pups find homes and Sunny finds her future home we will only be doing Boarding for our customers going forward.
Maya and our boys get along great together
chocolate boy “Rollex” hangs out with toys on the cooleroo’s in the yard
Lexi visits each year and her mom brings her bed and bankie and some treats and she is right at home here comfy with us in her 1st Home.
little khaki girl “Millie” we held onto longer for her new owners who needed an extended stay boarding for pups who’s owner’s arent quite ready to take them home at 8weeks.
It’s like a family reunion when our beagles come back to visit us for Pampered Pet Visits ! orange girl “Roonie” stayed with us one summer while her owner was on safari in Africa !!
and those who bring their pets to us to watch know Miss C.’s moto…LOL
Maya visits often when her family travels, and growing up coming back to us, now and then helps instil good manners as they watch us go about our day… patiently.
she says this is way better than being in a cage at a Boarding Kennel Facility somewhere strange to me..
Weaning her pups gradually , Sunny now watches from the couch occassionally
daughter Christi was visiting helping Miss C set up a new website so folks could all see the pups as they grow
Today she teaches the boys to drink some Formula warmed for them to lap up once they learn how , by showing it some on her finger he licks and likes it then tries some in the bowl.
as they grow we start mixed canned Eukanuba puppy food with Formula, and additional healthy powders to make the cutest pups!
on a nice warm Spring Day we take the boys out this time to eat on the sidewalk.
they enjoy their meal and then get to play around in the yard under Miss C.s watchful eye
the litter has had their 3rd worming done at 6 weeks , as well as their 1st Puppy shots.
It wont be long till this litter is able to start going to their new families !
we look forward to working with our returning customers coming out to Monroe NC. to pick up their new baby.
We sold the brick house on the same driveway and bought the first home on the same long driveway the
Log Cabin next to it , (just so folks coming back know )
