Meet the breeder

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.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
