“Snoopy the Easter Beagle”
Our Very Last Litter of Beagle Puppies have all been adopted now !
we thank everyone for their interest in our family raised beagle puppies. Miss C. has retired now and is looking forward to enjoying her new addition Joy . We also look forward to seeing some of our beagles who come to stay with us when their families travel.
We will continue Boarding here for our customers .
Our family has been spending time with each of the babies we hand raised and we will sure miss them.
we watch and encourage “Chewie” to try the steps a few times before his people come take him home.
we let sunny get her scent on Mocha’s big bed they had shipped to us.
Sunny enjoys a bully stick treat one of the adopting families sent her to thank her for their new baby, we so appreciate those who remember her too!
with all her puppies adopted out now she will be looking for a good pet home to retire to and enjoy being a housepet beagle now that Miss C. is fully retiring from Breeding beagles, and just doing occasional Boarding for our beagles when their families travel.
Please consider adopting Sunny , email us with your info and let us know about the home you would have for this fun gal to join !
orange and white female beagle $995 put Sunny in your subject line to get noticed !
she loves being close to you and is a great foot warmer lol
Our 1st adoption went great and we enjoyed seeing the Robies, and Sunny’s daughter “Kiki” their orange girl from a previous litter who will now be Coco’s Big Sister
they were so happy and excited to add another of our families beagle puppies to their home
Miss Christina just loves that we get to see our adoptive families several times over the years, and form friendships as they stay in touch and send us pics of their newest additions as they grow up in their new family.
Kiki you two will have lots of fun together
meet your real Little Sister by Sunny too!
they asked to see Mocha and the available puppy we have left. They thought they were such cuties.
and Cody got the two mini’s to show them before they left us too
and they really wanted to meet our tiny khaki “Joy”
they surprised us with a Gift for Joy and Miss C. a cozy snoopy blanket she can cuddle her in.. growing up , and a snoopy mug with different
versions of his face all over it, so adorable! and they always bring us Virginia Peanuts we enjoy so so much !! our customer’s over the 30+ yrs
have been so very generous with the kids and puppies and helped Miss C. raise them!!
in fact they had given us the blue dog blanket in the background above a few yrs ago at one of their past adoptions of a sunshine beagle puppy!
OK Kiki here is your new little Sis to show the ropes at home , lets go!!
they told us first stop is seeing Carrie’s mom and her 2 sunshine beagle girlies !! We have already heard back all went great on the trip and meeting Carrie’s mom at her house. Now they are settling in with their New Baby Girl at home.
“Chewie” went home to Chapel Hill NC. with his new family!
They were so happy to come out and meet their new baby boy!
Christi was able to be with us when they came out,
she and Jennifer both work at UNC Chapel Hill .
Miss C. and Jennifer were talking about how neither of us were really planning on another pup… she said she was looking over vacation options and nothing felt right… then my text asking arrived, for some of our favorite folks to help us spread the word about this last litter for us.
she said… hum… that’s what I want for our Summer Fun !
we are so thrilled to give them their 3rd sunshine beagle baby!
Looks like the boys agree!!!
Miss C. got a nice Carolina T-shirt from the Kirby’s she so appreciates !
he was Sunny’s 2nd puppy to go home over the weekend, two more flew home on Mon.
We know they are going to have alot of Fun with this sweetie this Summer !
“Emmy Lou” flew home to her new owner
on Monday we met up with Eric in the airport to hand over Lisa’s new baby . He offered to serve as her courier on the plane to take home to Nebraska he told us she slept in the sherpa bag we had let her get used to here and then just fell asleep again for the drive to his Aunt’s house !
one eve we watched some TV which isnt often lol… Cody put the sherpa bag on his lap and she lay in it for a long while just content to be close
her 1st experience the door is folded under and out of the way… on the trip to the airport we had them on a lap mostly but let each be alone in a carrier too enroute to Douglas International airport.
both pups were so good on the drive to the airport 🙂
we heard from Lisa and she sent us an adorable photo of Emmy Lou and her new friends !
EmmyLou is doing great. She is sweet and has become very outgoing! She has a wonderful disposition. Things are going really well.
She seems to understand going potty in the grass. She goes right away when I bring her to the yard.
Thank you for a wonderful companion beagle!
Lisa
“Banjo’s adoption at Charlotte Douglas Airport
while waiting for Peg’s plane to arrive we got to spend some time with Banjo , what a sweetie he always let Miss C. hold him on his back and often fell asleep on her lap at home and also in the car as we waited…
we took him to a grassy area we know of near the airport so he could go hurry up one last time before his flight to Ca.
and later that day we met with Peg who flew in from San Fran to pick up her 3rd pup from us “Banjo”
.
she told us they let him lay on her lap, wrapped up in the baby blanket with littermates scents on it we gave her,
the whole trip home to California !
Peg brought Miss Christina a beautiful San Fran tote full of goodies !!
“Peaches” has been adopted by the Dunnuck family who came out to take home her sister “Mocha”, now the two sisters will get to stay together !
we hadn’t been in any hurry to find her a home knowing they had thought about both girls initially and with 3 kids getting a pair of pups makes good sense more to go around lol.. sure enough they were thinking the same thing, and already had a name in mind for her !
hey Mocha we couldn’t wait till after Easter we worked it out to come take you with us for the Holiday!
the family asked if they could also see Mocha’s sister ..
the family was so happy to have another sunshine beagle again.
on their way to our home they texted saying the kids wanted to also meet her orange sister… they already had a name for…
Peaches….
she is such a sweetie too…
Cody had spent alot of time with the girls in his old room where he set up a play pen for them next to his bed. we knew they would be fun to keep together for a family with 3 kids.
knowing how well the sister pair got along we were thrilled to let them take both girls to grow up entertaining one another !
Cody was happy to see his favorites get to stay together !
can we keep her please Mom ….
we asked Dad what he thought about 2, his smile says it all…. he wants Peaches too!!
look they love each other we want both !
Off to visit their Aunt and enjoy 2 Easter Beagles !
we got this adorable update on how its going !!
we feel so good that the pair of happy siblings got to stay together !!
We have found homes with Returning families for ALL of our puppies with folks we have worked with previously how special is that !
We truly enjoy working with folks over the years who send updates and pictures so we can follow along as their sunshine beagle grows up .
we will no longer be breeding beagles , our Boarding for our beagles will continue. We already have a couple of our beagles booked for this summer!
Chewie and littermates play with his hotdog and sloth toy his adoptive family sent for him ,
to get their scents on his things they took home with him
the Kirby’s also sent some puppy teething rings that were a big hit!
Sunny Days in Spring !
we purchased some wire playpens so the little ones could get to spend some outdoor time in the nice weather we have been having!
we worked outside nearby so they could see us and learn to settle down and watch .
Then we introduced some small open crates with bedding so they wanted to go in and before long they got used to sleeping in crates without it being a “oh no I’m locked inside this !” scenario their first time in one …they have littermates, and us nearby.
the available orange girl went in right away and slept for a while she liked It !
“Chewie” and “Mocha” went in and checked it out… then came back out to watch Miss C plant seeds in a tray .
then chewie decided to give it a try..
Mocha seems to be undecided, and is half way in on the idea LOL.
Miss Christina’s daughter Christi came back out for a few days to help us as the babies begin heading home.
And we were able to celebrate her April Birthday together! She takes the best photo’s for us too!
She watched over the place with Cody’s wife Neffie, while we ran Emmy Lou and Banjo to the airport, and helped with the website set up some more. Both meet ups at the American airlines area went off smoothly !
“Emmy Lou” has the sweetest face Lisa paid us to get things together for her trip home, and her new sherpa bag has arrived so we can let her try it out a time or two before the day she flys home in it, and put some littermates scents on toys and blankets we have for her so they are comforting when added to the sherpa bag since they are already familiar to her.
we had split the big litter up, and the bigger pups were in a wire play pen set up in Cody’s old bedroom. He and his wife were 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 dried up and she isn’t 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 . We replaced her as their caregivers , and wasnt visiting much so they don’t miss her as much when they are in their new homes.
all the mini puppies were still in the whelping box in our living room they were born in .
the standard size pups were getting to be too big for a Birthing Box …
so they moved into a playpen set up in Cody’s room .
which worked perfectly for Cody to have his favorite teddy bear so close at hand. She and her sister Mocha were both good and got alot of attention
she’s already good at sleeping in the bed with the kids
we had spoken to the Dunnuck’s about both of our standard girls when they were deciding… and had a feelin…. so we kind of held off placing her till they came out and sure enough they wanted both girls to keep one another company and entertained. We knew the pair were good together having been in Cody’s room they got along well and had gotten alot of attention together. This worked out perfectly and we are so pleased now to say all our pups have homes with returning customer’s who wanted another !
the pair play tug o war with the pink teething toy bone Mocha’s family sent her… they just loved playing together and now will get to grow up as besties in the Dunnuck household with their 3 kids !
“Family raised beagle puppies” in Monroe, North Carolina for over 30 yrs we have bred for House pet Beagles, and indoor companions.
Miss C. and friend Yolanda when she adopted retiring mom Sally and her pup at the same time so Sally had a puppy to help them raise on their organic farm.
( these babies were our very last litter we will have here in NC. Miss C. really is retiring this time LOL.
the last available girl was claimed by the family who came to adopt her sister Mocha and now the pair will enjoy growing up together.
she had fun playing in the front yard with us watching over her as she ran around to see everything
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 vacuum the carpet in the Livingroom so they are more accustomed to loud sounds when they don’t 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.
with all the other puppies gone home with their new families Miss Christina and Joy take a moment to relax on our front porch.
in Miss Christina’s eyes…..she is the perfect little Lap Dog Miss C. is done now.
and she fits in her Scrubs shirt Pocket and is happy to stay there LOL….
we had been searching for a front papoose for her to be close to Miss C. as she goes about her day,
but are still looking… meanwhile she was ok with a big Doctors pocket.
Joy just loves to hang out on Miss C.s bed in the am and watch her getting ready… what a doll !
she’s content when ever and where ever Miss C’s lap is available 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 !
He has very little white on him just a cute Heart shape on his neck
and he has the big Beagle ears Cody loves !
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. wasn’t 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 enjoys 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
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 too 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.
Proud Papa looks on…

Chewie has been adopted now the Kirby’s getting their 3rd sunshine beagle hand raised by our family.
“Emmy Lou” flew home to Nebraska
we arrived early to the airport and let her out to go hurry up one last time on some grass .
Cody circled the airport while Miss Christina went in to meet with Lisa’s nephew Eric who offered to fly Emmy Lou in the cabin with him .
Cody had already let her spend time in her Sherpa bag so she would be comfy for the ride home. she did perfectly and slept on the way

Mini Khaki Boy $1695 ( adopted by returning customer Peg Pike)

His name will be “Banjo”
“Banjo” will Fly Like A BEAGLE , flew home to San Francisco with Peg ,
and his Life will be good with his new pal “Jordy”
In California !!
we took him for one last walk in the grass at the airport Postal office where we knew there wasnt much traffic and lots of open space.
we walked over from hourly parking to meet up with Banjo’s new owner
Peg took him in a soft sided Sherpa Bag inside the cabin back to San Fran with her as she did when adopting from us in the past . She told us he was so good on her lap wrapped in a baby blanket with his littermates scent on it we gave her that they let him fly to California that way. awwe
Peg brought Miss C a nice surprise a San Fran tote bag and goodies inside for us to enjoy and show the families appreciation
for raising their 3rd baby.
we got home and watched a movie and enjoyed some of the Ghirardelli chocolates Peg brought us !!
Dear Miss Christina,
We love banjo already! And he and Jordy (other Sunshine beagle star) are getting along just fine. We gated off the kitchen and dining room as those floors are tile (not carpet). Banjo has been going outside and running like a nut on the grass (we fenced off a ‘smaller’ back yard so we can keep an eye on him) then he comes inside and curls up to sleep in his crate (door open)!
The flight back to SF was easy. Banjo slept or cuddled on my lap the entire time! I just threw the blanket that you packed over him and the flight attendants paid me no mind.
We are thrilled to have another Sunshine Beagle! Thank you for your care. He’s a peach.
You take care!
Peg, Jordy, Banjo and the rest of the family.
This chocolate girl, “Mocha” claimed by the Dunnuck family (repeats)
Mocha’s family decided not to split the girls up and took both Mocha and Peaches along to visit an aunt in NC. for the holiday
We are keeping this khaki mini girl! her name will be “Joy”
Sunny Bunny is our Easter Beagle !!
sunshinebeagles@yahoo.com
We will be retiring Sunny, our last breeding female after this litter, so she can find her own-one-on one forever pet home. The other 2 adult moms went home after their last litters in 2023, and now will be time for Sunny to find her own family as Miss Christina retires.
Sunny is such a sweetheart and a perfect housepet! She never has accidents in our home, and she loves to snuggle on the couch while you watch TV!
DOB: August 1, 2021
Sunny adult orange and white Female $995.
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.
“Mocha’s big fluffy bed arrived too!
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.
After feeding her puppies she hoped out of the whelping box and as they fell off to sleep content, she asked for a Tip for services rendered LOL
we were happy to have some Goodies from the Dunnuck family to share with her for making their newest family member !
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
Now that all the pups have found their homes we will concentrate on Sunny in hopes she finds her future home next..
then 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
Tri colored “Sirius” visits us often when his family travels and he and Happy enjoy playing together alot!
Sirius and Maya visit us at the same Holidays sometimes so they are fast friends too!
Maya visits often when her family travels, and growing up coming back to us, now and then helps instill 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 occasionally
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.
our thanks to everyone for their patience as we placed all our our Litter by Sunny with Returning customer’s who wanted another of our hand raised babies to join their beagle packs!
we hope someone will ask for our only available beagle “Sunny” she is now ready to be adopted !
see her page on the links below to learn more about this house trained 3 yr old girl
ask for Sunny in your subject line to get noticed and tell us about your home for her !
she would make an easy addition !
