Welcome to Starrinite Beagles in Northern California, a small hobby kennel that exhibits and breeds beagles.  We’re home to a pack of merry little hounds and a terrier mutt.  Our dogs are first and foremost beloved family pets, with conformation, obedience, agility, therapy and water play being the fun activities we enjoy with them.

        I have owned and loved dogs my whole life, growing up with a Basset Hound and several lab mixes.  I enjoyed the loving temperament of the basset, but also the more outgoing personality and activeness of the labs.  When researching the breed I wanted for my own family, the Beagle was the perfect choice.  They have the wonderful tenacious hound attitude that I love and the more athletic body that I wanted.  The Beagle’s compact size, go-get-um personality, good looks, friendliness and sensitivity make them an ideal dog for many families.  Don’t mistake their stubbornness for lack of brains, the Beagle is highly intelligent.  The beagle is a wonderful dog, but it’s not for every situation.  Please read my Beagle Info page, research the breed and talk to owners and breeders so you know what a beagle is really about before you make a commitment.  They really are a “big dog in a small package.”

        We don’t breed often, but when we do, it is our goal to breed Beagles that are beautiful, healthy and of wonderful temperament.  Our puppies are lovingly hand-raised in our home where they get plenty of handling and socialization.
