Best Friends Kennels We Have Warm Hearts For Cold Noses We prioritize ethical breeding practices and the well-being of each puppy, ensuring they receive the best care from day one.

For over 30 years, our family has been raising toy and teacup purebred puppies in rural Arizona, primarily serving the Phoenix area. What began as a passion for our mom, Teri, has evolved into a thriving family-run business, managed by her children—Abby, Seth, and Naphtali. Each pup leaves our care with health records showing up-to-date vaccinations and parasite prevention treatments, a puppy food starter pack, and a comfort toy/blanket that smells like home. They are also protected by our Two-Year Health Guarantee and Lifetime Phone Support. We take pride in matching families with their perfect furry companion.

Be on the lookout for this mischievous floof. Soda cans beware 🫧💗

Awesome news! Giselle, originally an adorable princess with four left feet is quickly becoming as graceful as any other puppy. Her balance has improved by leaps and bounds (see her bio on the website for more bad plays on words — still not sorry) and she is now ready for adoption!

A little back story! As Giselle first started to walk she developed a cute little head tilt. Adorable as it was, it did mean something was off. We suspected a balance issue due to an inner ear birth defect and placed her on a medical hold while we waited to be sure. Her progress over time indicates we were right. We are both pleased and a little nostalgically sad (but mostly pleased!) to report that the beginning of this video, taken just ten days ago, is no longer is a good representation of how she moves. She has adjusted incredibly and is quickly losing her signature look as her brain learns to compensate for feeling a little off kilter. Some small tilt will likely always be part of who she is but we couldn't be happier to see her be able to lead a normal puppy life 💕

Twilight is very special to me 🥰 you may remember her brother Rugar from a previous post but unlike him, she’s still on the lookout for her forever 💕

I put the puppy bucket full of puppies in the playpen (already tipped over so they can run out and start playing instead of waiting on me) and left for TWO seconds to go get new toys… Came back to a wild pack of dust bunnies bouncing around the floor 😂❤️

Rugar is already spoken for but he’s also unspeakably adorable and that kind of cuteness must be shared visually with the world 🥰

Found this little floof bouncing around my living room floor and decided to do a photoshoot! Usually I take individual frames from the video to use as pictures but the footage was too cute 🥰🤍

"I had an amazing experience with Best Friends Kennels. I recently adopted my new pup Strider and it was the best decision ever. He is the sweetest pup! Naphtali is so kind and so informative. She answered every question I had as it was my first time adopting my own pup. While I was away finishing my last semester of college she sent me weekly videos of Strider. It was always the highlight of my week! It is very apparent.." says Ryann on Google

Churro is a Brugg (or Bugg!) which is a Brussels Griffon and Pug cross. He is the happiest, waggiest, most cuddly puppy we have right now and is a great buddy for movies… as long as you don’t mind missing half the movie 🥰
