Located in Northern California, Starrinite is a small hobby kennel that exhibits and breeds beagles.  Our merry little hounds 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 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 do not have puppies all the time, but when we breed, 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.
