Located in Northern Nevada, Starrinite is a small hobby kennel that has been exhibiting and breeding beagles since 2004.  Our merry little hounds are first and foremost beloved family pets. We also have a Rat Terrier and a Bracco Italiano.

        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 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.
