Wild West Kennels

Wild West Kennels, breeding basenji, Cardigan Welsh corgi and Rhodesian ridgeback in Tucson, AZ, serves southern Arizona near Phoenix. It is active in national breed clubs and follows recommended health screenings for hips, eyes and heart in all breeding dogs. Puppies are raised in a family home where they receive daily handling and socialization, enjoying time in indoor living spaces and secure outdoor play yards.

The kennels sit on several acres of desert-adapted land, offering puppies room to explore under supervision. Jennifer Scheffler emphasizes a gentle approach, focusing on each pup’s temperament and early training. Many families note the dogs’ steady nature, praising the Ridgebacks’ confidence and the corgis’ playful loyalty.

All adults are evaluated by a licensed veterinarian and enrolled in genetic registries when available, ensuring each puppy carries the healthiest traits possible. Early exposure to household sounds and short car rides helps pups adapt smoothly to new homes across the region.
