About Royal Paws Kennel

Small dogs, raised big on love.

We specialize in five toy breeds — Yorkies, Chihuahuas, Malteses, Maltipoos, and Poodles — and we raise every single one of them the same way: in our home, underfoot, held often, and never treated like inventory.

Why we only do five breeds

Royal Paws Kennel didn’t start as a business plan. It started with one Maltese, a lot of research, and a decision to do this properly or not at all. Years later, we’ve stayed small and specialized on purpose — Yorkies, Chihuahuas, Malteses, Maltipoos, and Poodles are what we know inside and out, from their health screening needs to the personality quirks that make each breed a good fit for a different kind of home.

Every litter is born and raised inside our house, not in a barn or a kennel building out back. Puppies hear vacuum cleaners, meet children, ride in cars, and get handled daily from the week they’re born, because a puppy that’s calm and confident on day fifty-six is a puppy that settles into your home in days, not months.

We also believe the relationship doesn’t end when you pick up your puppy. We’re a phone call away for the life of your dog — for training questions, health questions, or just to see a picture of how big they’ve gotten.

What we won’t compromise on

Health before anything else

Our breeding dogs are health-tested and vet-checked before any litter is planned. We’d rather skip a breeding than risk a puppy’s future.

AKC registration, always

Every puppy we place is AKC registered, so you know exactly what you’re bringing home and can trace their lineage with confidence.

Raised in our home, not a facility

No kennel runs, no cages stacked in a warehouse. Our puppies grow up in a living room, around people, noise, and everyday life.

Honest conversations, not a sales pitch

We ask questions and answer them — including the hard ones about cost, temperament, and whether a breed is really right for your home.

The breeds we raise

Five toy breeds, five different personalities. We can help you figure out which one actually fits your life.

Yorkshire Terrier puppy from Royal Paws Kennel

Yorkshire Terrier

Confident, affectionate, and surprisingly sturdy for their size — a big personality in a small coat.

Chihuahua puppy from Royal Paws Kennel

Chihuahua

Loyal to their person almost to a fault, alert, and full of opinions — ideal for owners who want a devoted shadow.

Maltese puppy from Royal Paws Kennel

Maltese

Gentle, playful, and famously good with families — a silky white companion built for laps and long cuddles.

Maltipoo puppy from Royal Paws Kennel

Maltipoo

The Maltese and Poodle mix that keeps giving us the friendliest, most people-oriented puppies in the litter.

Toy or miniature Poodle puppy from Royal Paws Kennel

Sharp, trainable, and low-shedding — a favorite for owners who want a puppy that’s as smart as it is stylish.
