Rick Tisdale

Rick Tisdale and James Tisdale are breeders of dog in Lubbock, TX, the South Plains near Amarillo. They have devoted years to breeding healthy lines and hold memberships in regional and national dog clubs that recommend health testing for hips, elbows, and eyes. Both breeders review pedigrees extending across multiple generations to support sound temperament and vigor.

Their program emphasizes early socialization with family members and exposure to everyday sounds and settings. Puppies grow up indoors with access to a secure yard where they learn basic manners and bond with the family before moving to their new homes. The farmstead setting blends rural space with attentive oversight, giving each litter time to develop a stable temperament. Prospective owners often note the puppies’ adaptability and friendly nature, attributes the Tisdales consider at the core of their breeding philosophy. Many local families note that the Tisdales’ follow-up guidance helps puppies settle smoothly into new homes.
