About Sunshine
Meet the Family Behind Sunshine Acres 🏡
Welcome! We are Michael and Erica, a large, busy family with children of our own, and raising exceptional puppies has been our shared passion since 2002. Located in the peaceful countryside near Wolcott, Indiana, our home is where every single puppy advertised on our site is born, held, and raised. For us, this isn't just a business—it’s a way of life that involves our entire family every single day.
For us, breeding is far more than a passion project—it is a commitment grounded in scientific research, genetic integrity, and a deep understanding of canine health.
With Michael’s background in genetics, we take a highly analytical, science-based approach to our breeding program. We don't believe in guesswork; we rely on data, rigorous screening, and proven genetic principles to ensure that every puppy we bring into the world has the best possible foundation for a long, vibrant life.
🌟 How Our Family Raises Your Companion
Daily Family Imprinting: Because we know that a puppy's early experiences shape their entire future, our children and family members handle, cuddle, and play with our puppies individually from the time they are just a couple of days old. They grow up completely accustomed to the sounds, energy, and love of a busy household.
Cooperative Intelligence: Over the last 25 years, our family has carefully selected parental lines to ensure we are only raising puppies who are not only healthy, but with sweet, predictable, and cooperative temperaments as well. The result is a companion that is not only beautiful, but naturally eager to learn and fit right into your family lifestyle.
A Lifetime Commitment: Long before a puppy goes home, they are a part of our daily routine—including getting an early head start on structured crate training. When you adopt from us, you get a three-year health warranty and a lifetime of support from our family to yours.
We understand that bringing a new puppy into your home is a major milestone. Our family is here to make your selection process simple, clear, and deeply memorable. We look forward to helping you find a puppy who will bring your family as much joy as our dogs bring to ours!

🌟 The Sunshine Acres Difference
When you choose a puppy from us, you are bringing home a companion built on a foundation of excellence, superior health, and dedicated care:
Rigorous Health & Genetic Testing: We conduct extensive health screenings on our parents before they enter our breeding program. Every parent is DNA tested for breed-specific genetic defects and fully OFA evaluated for hips, elbows, heart, and eyes.
Early Socialization Program: Starting when they are just a few days old, our puppies benefit from positive early exposures and daily imprinting with our family to support strong, confident behavioral development.
A Foundation for Training: As soon as the puppies are old enough, we begin structured crate training, giving them an excellent head start on potty training before they arrive at your home.
Comprehensive Protection: Every puppy comes microchipped, up-to-date on core immunizations, vet-checked, and backed by our premier 3-Year Health Warranty alongside a lifetime of support from our family.
📦 Delivery & Visitation Options
We want to make the transition as seamless and stress-free as possible for your family:
On-Site Visits: We warmly welcome families to visit our home by appointment to meet our available puppies in person.
