Rising Star Kennel

Rising Star Kennel has been raising AKC Cavalier King Charles spaniels, Yorkshire terriers, and great Danes in Leonard, Texas since 1999. The kennel sits about 55 miles northeast of Dallas and is a family-owned operation run by Jack and Sally Phipps, who have been joined in a formal partnership by their daughter Buffy, who had worked alongside them informally for over a decade before that.

The kennel's origins trace back to a grandchild's request for a Yorkshire terrier — one that ultimately came to live with Jack and Sally rather than the busy ten-year-old who asked for her. That beginning shaped the kennel's direction toward raising a range of breeds suited to different households and lifestyles.

All dogs at Rising Star are AKC registered, and the kennel screens incoming dogs for hereditary issues specific to each breed, with a focus on champion bloodlines. Routine health monitoring includes checks and treatment for hypoglycemia, parasites, and other common concerns. Anyone looking for Cavalier King Charles spaniel puppies in Texas, or a great Dane or Yorkie to suit a different household size, will find that the kennel's multi-breed approach is rooted in the idea that the right dog depends on the right fit for each family.
