Meet the breeder
I'm Allen K., the breeder behind ARK Kennels located in Mesa, AZ. Our mission is to raise healthy, happy, adorable Greyhound puppies and connect loving families with their new best friends! We find so much joy in watching our puppies grow and develop their own unique personalities. We can’t wait for you to meet your next loving and loyal companion!
Q. & A. with Allen
Why did you start breeding?
I realized the need for intentional greyhound breeding as I watched the racing circuit decline over the past few years. “I did not wish for the 200-year-old bloodlines of the American Racing Greyhound to become extinct or for others to miss the experience of a lifetime, having the companionship of these intelligent, loving, loyal, 45mph pups.What makes your program special?
Our bloodlines are proven, and our genealogy dates back 200 years. Undoubtedly, your puppy will be a purebred greyhound with papers recognized by the National Greyhound Association and The American Kennel Club.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red brindle and white, fawn, blue and white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

About Lilac
FC Keltic Lilac SC BCAT Known around the Kennel as Lilac or Lacky, this beautiful brindle has been honored in her first season of Lure Course Racing and Fast Cats as a Field Champion, Senior Courser, and BCAT. Last year, her racing season was cut short due to being a mom once again. She is as sweet as she is fast. She comes from a long line of Racing Greyhounds. Born in Texas, she made the trip to our Kennel at six months of age. This playful girl loves to play fetch with tennis balls and reminds you several times a day that it’s time to go outside and play.

About Lightning (Bug)
ARK Lightning BCAT Known around the Kennel as Bug (Lightning Bug or Love Bug), he is the big boy around the Kennel at nearly 90lbs. His shiny black coat garners admiration anytime he is in public. Lightning’s ancestors are a mix of NGA Racing Greyhounds and a few Show dogs. Despite his size, he still thinks he’s a lap dog and climbs up in the recliner with his owner every chance he gets. Lighting earned his BCAT this past racing season and won 2 best-in breeds on the lure course. His number one personality trait is he loves to love his humans. He is a gentle giant.

Allen is a true greyhound enthusiast and knows the breed and its history. I got a young male from his most recent litter for sport and he is exactly what I was looking for: confident, social, environmentally sound, easy to train, and sound temperamentally. I would and have recommended him to anyone looking for a racing line greyhound!

Verified owner · Oct. 2024
Allen was superb throughout the entire process. His knowledge and passion for the breed and his hounds is unparalleled. Having had a retired racer previously, we were well prepared to handle the adult version of the breed but Allen made sure to walk us through all the nuances that come with raising puppy and young adult versions. We truly couldn’t have been happier with their set up and the breeding program he and his wife have created. We will definitely be back for any future hounds and would recommend anyone interested in the breed to speak with ARK Kennel.
