I'm the breeder behind Arklahoma Boykins located in Arkansas. Having a dog in our lives is such a blessing. We find so much fulfillment in providing that same companionship to other homes! We started breeding with the simple mission to breed the very best dogs that we can, to raise them with love, and to find them the perfect future homes.

You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion.

I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Socialized with children, Surface & tactile stimulation, Various sounds, and We do NOT take them out in public, they're not fully vaccinated until 16 weeks, but we do have friends and family who help with "daily playtime"..
All puppies will be up to date on vaccines and wormer. They will have their tails docked and their dew claws clipped.
We send our puppies home with Vet records, Blanket with mom & littermates’ scent, and Registration.
Melinda offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
