Welcome to our family!
Now let’s find you, the perfect addition to your family.
Meet Our Family
Our Story
In 1992 my grandparents (Johnny & Laverne Kennedy) opened a loving and caring kennel for AKC Registered Maltese in the beautiful rolling hills of Southeastern Oklahoma to help supplement their income after my Pa had suffered a stroke. Today and Three Generations in, I (Kendale Whitenton) have had the privilege of learning so much about breeding these beautiful babies and providing them with a tender caring environment. We offer show quality puppies to homes across the United States.
Our Values and Mission
We pride ourselves on raising healthy and happy puppies! It is our goal to raise show quality puppies and find them loving, caring forever homes. I'm proud to be a third-generation dog breeder of AKC Registered Maltese.
Ever heard of Yanush?
It’s a small community near the man made Sardis Lake and gorgeous Potato Hills country. Not too far from us is the Capitol Grounds of the great Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. The term “Yanush“ derives from the Choctaw language and in English translates to “Buffalo“ which can be seen roaming the beautiful pastures.
