Tri-Creek Kennels

Tri Creek Kennels is such a life saver of a place ! They are located in La Vaquita Flea Market and they are located where all the arcade and pet supplies are located ( easy to find just follow the signs that says “pet supplies” and “kids area.” )

When I first went to visit them, I was greeted by their welcoming staff and introduced to some of the dogs that they had for sale. Their bigger dogs are placed out front in big cages and the smaller breeds are located behind the glass windows in smaller cages.

I originally went in hopes of finding a Shih-Tzu but unfortunately, they were out of my price range at the time. I came with a set budget for how much I wanted to spend on a new puppy and come to my surprise, Tri Creek Kennels had some shorkies that fit right in my budget range ! At the time I visited, there were 2 Shorkies left, one black and white one male, and one that was almost all black female. I originally wanted to get a male puppy since i already have 2 male shih tzus at home already, but I was instantly in love with the all black female shorkie that they had !

If you want to see a dog, you just ask one of their employees wearing the Pet Shop t shirt and they will bring the dog right out to you. Once you are satisfied and set on the dog you want, they let you know that they will bathe the dog prior to sending it home with you so that the dogs are all clean from anything that might’ve made them dirty in the cage. They let you know when the new puppy needs their shots by providing this pamphlet laying out all the dates that you need to come in for their shots and deworming. What is great about this place is that they provide these services right next door where they groom the puppies and it is fairly priced when compared to local animal hospitals ! They also show you what kind of dog food your pup has been on and also provide about 2 weeks worth of puppy food for you to take home with your new puppy ( just enough time for you to get your own supply.)

The payment process was so easy too ! Cash is key guys. The flea market has ATM machines where you can get cash so I would recommend this over using your card so you can just pay the exact amount straight up. They provided me a receipt for the puppy, the shots pamphlet, and even gave me 3 FREE doggy bowls to use for my new puppy’s food and water!

I texted Chris afterwards to let him know that I was very happy with my new Fur baby and he was very nice.

At Tri Creek Kennels, they have a vast array of puppy breeds for you to choose from!

However, the only thing I will say is that depending on the time of the year/season the prices of the puppies do indeed change. I was SUPER lucky to find a shorkie in my budget range when I went, because when I revisited them about 2 weeks later for my puppy’s 2nd dose of shots, I noticed the prices of the shorkie puppies have doubled ! Wow ! I don’t blame them though, the holiday season is coming around and prices of puppies change all the time. Yesterday’s price is not Today’s price !

Overall, the process of purchasing my Shorkie was so easy, efficient, and overall a great experience ! I was very happy walking back to my car with my new fur baby in my arms :)

2nd puppy purchased in the last 11 years from Tri-creek- Never had any issues and they were always straight forward with what the dog needs and there pricing. They helped us make a new adorable addition to our family. We are so excited and thankful for Chris and his father. They were also patient and very knowledgeable. They answered all our questions and never seemed annoyed. Thanks for providing ANOTHER quality family members.

I received a pitbull puppy from tri-creek kennels . Great variety on dogs. Going back for a golden doodle pup.

Amazing people! Me and my family have bought several puppies from him over the past 15+ years and all have been great, amazing, healthy dogs! They’re super friendly and will help you every step of the way! Highly recommend them!

I bought the best aussiepom pup from Chris back in February. He was in great health, has the best temperament, and I absolutely adore him. Ive been looking for the breeders contact info so i can purchase another pup, but so far no luck! If anyone can provide me with this info, I would greatly appreciate it!

I bought my puppy from here 4 months ago, and he is just the cutest little thing. He is a cavapoo, which are very expensive right now, but I got a very good price here. We came right when the flea market opened, and there was already a huge line, so I recommend coming as soon as possible since our pup was literally the last one of his kind left! The only thing is that he had tapeworms when we got him, but we quickly brought him to the vet and he was better within a day.

I really love this place. I have been talking with Chris Yearwood for a few months now about getting me a red mini Dachshund. He finally succeeded and I'm so in love with her. Wonderful people and true to their word. If you are looking for a particular breed of dog give them a few months and I assure you they will find you one. Thanks Chris for my new addition to the family.

We purchased a Yorkie-Poo from Tri-Creek Kennels on 05/05/18 and had a great experience. Took him to the vet this morning and he is perfectly healthy. We highly recommend this breeder. Thanks guys for our new puppy!

Update 8 months later
This little guy is awesome. Love to watch him play and run around the house. He has a great personality and loves everyone.

Went to see Chris’s puppies today, and am so happy we did! We didn’t get one today, but talked with Chris, and he’s going to work with us to find our perfect fur baby.
A very positive experience. Chris is very down to earth, and all business. Easy to do business with. His prices are reasonable, and he’s been doing this for a very long time. I appreciate how he makes sure his puppies are safe by not letting everyone hold them.
All around awesome experience. Thanks Chris! We appreciate you😊

Very nice experience...
I got my American bully pup from them
The puppies are well maintained & not handled by anyone other than the breeder. That insures your puppy will be healthy. Purchase process was simple & they give great instructions on the how to's of feeding your pet

We got a shih-tzu in November of 2021. He was our first ever puppy and we loved him.
I recommend to contact Chris Yearwood if you are in the looks for a puppy. He will find you the perfect one.

We got a puppy from here, and we went through some really tough times with him. The guys here were very helpful and they made my experience really great. They made things right. I really recommend Tri creek puppies. For a great experience.

We bought a puppy from Tri-creek kennels back in June. He was 10 weeks old when we got him and were told he was a purebred German Shepherd from a great line and would be huge. We were a little weary from all the reviews of people saying they were sick puppies. His birthday is 3/20/2019. So he’s not quite 5 months yet. He is a perfectly healthy puppy. We had blood work done by our vet and he is 100% pure breed GSD and we filed for his papers through CKC. He is the most amazing, smart, and loyal puppy ever. He is 100% potty trained and can sit, speak, lay down, roll over, shake and we will be signing him up for intense canine training. So pleased with they puppy we got just wanted someone to see that just because there are a few bad reviews they are not all bad!!

We purchased a boy Maltipom on June 6, 2020
He has brought us so much joy, and his older fur brother loves him.
We named him Basil. I would love to leave a picture.

Who it may concern. I was wondering if I could get a photo of his parents or a picture of his sister. Thank you, jena

I brought a dog from Chris. My first multipoo toy size dog. The service was excellent. They were extremely professional. They had there masks on and made social distancing good. My puppy was very healthy. Overall the experience was great. Looking to buy from them again. Period.

We bought our Shih Tzu back in 2015 from Chris at Tri-Creek Kennels. He has been in perfect health and been an amazing addition to our family. I've never owned a dog this loving and dedicated to his owners as much as this one. He has gone on vacations with us and has made a perfect travel companion also. Couldn't have asked for a better dog.

I bought a English Bulldog from Tri-Creek 5 years ago. She is the healthest most loveable English i have ever known. She was very well priced. Checkups were flawless.

Update now 10 years ago 1/24/23. our little girl is getting much older now. She only had one health scare 3 y/a. She got in to the cinnamon raisin biscuits. Got real sick & pulled through. I’m wondering if it would be a good time to introduce a new pup to her. Hope it would possibly rejuvenate her. Definitely don’t want to alienate her. Your thoughts? Thanks Joe T

We bought our puppy in 2012 and he is the smartest cutest little guy ever. Very healthy and loved. The vendor is great and informative. Definitely recommend adopting from Tri-Creek Kennels.

I bought a bichon frise puppy from Tri-Creek. I am so in love with the puppy. I own a daycare and he goes to school with me everyday. He is a very sweet and gentle puppy. Tri-Creek was very knowledgeable about dogs and provided great service. You can tell they have a passion for animals.

We love getting our huskies from Chris! Our first Bolt (white) was purchased about 2yrs ago. This past weekend we bought Ace (for the One Piece fans lol), and we will be back this weekend to get him a playmate!
