Ethical, Home-Based Dog Breeding in Arkansas

Finding a responsible breeder is hard. We make it easy.

At Taylored Dogs, our puppies grow up inside our home—not in an outdoor kennel or a breeding facility. They experience everyday family life, interacting with people, sounds, and environments that help them develop into well-adjusted, confident companions.

  • Family-Owned, Ethical Breeder – Located in Mena, AR, serving DFW, Tulsa, OKC, Little Rock & Shreveport
  • Health & Genetic Testing – Every puppy is vet-checked, vaccinated, and microchipped
  • Lifetime Support – We’re here before, during, and after you bring your puppy home
  • Hand-Delivery Available – Safe, reliable delivery options for major metro areas
  • Early Socialization & Training – Our puppies are handled daily for the best start in life
At Taylored Dogs, we believe in breeding for more than just beautiful, healthy companions—we breed for purpose. One of our proudest stories is Teddy, a small multi-poo who has become a beloved therapy companion at a local nursing home. His owner, who is currently studying to become a nurse practitioner, takes Teddy with her to bring comfort, companionship, and joy to the residents. Seeing one of our puppies grow into such an important part of people’s lives is why we do what we do. Teddy’s story is just one example of how our puppies become more than pets—they become family, friends, and even sources of emotional support in the lives of those who need it most.
