For over two decades, Albark Kennels has been dedicated to raising high-quality, well-socialized puppies that bring joy and companionship to families across the country. Our passion for ethical breeding and early socialization ensures that every puppy we raise is prepared for a happy, healthy life.
Alton and Barbara are the founders and owners of Albark Kennels, and their vision, values, and love for dogs are at the heart of everything we do.
They have been breeding for over 20 years, combining experience with care and attention to detail. From overseeing the breeding program to managing daily operations, they ensure that each puppy is raised in a clean, structured, and loving environment.
One of their greatest satisfaction in this work is seeing families matched with the right puppy — one that fits the family's lifestyle and brings years of joy and companionship.
Their commitment to quality and their heart for people make them the steady foundation behind Albark Kennels.
Abigail plays a key role at Albark Kennels, and her dedication shines through in everything she does.
She is the photographer behind all of our puppy portraits — from individual and litter photos to updated pictures. As our social media manager, she shares heartwarming moments, important milestones, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of life at the kennel.
Abigail also serves as our nursery barn manager, ensuring the youngest puppies are clean, comfortable, and thriving. She assists with vet checks, helps administer puppy medications, and makes sure each pup is healthy and well-prepared before heading to their forever home.
Her creativity, attention to detail, and deep care for our animals make her an irreplaceable part of our team.
Hadassah and Gabriel are a valued part of daily life at Albark Kennels. As young helpers, they’re learning responsibility and care through real work with the animals.
They assist with everyday chores like cleaning kennels, feeding dogs, and socializing puppies — helping each pup grow into a calm, confident companion. Whether it’s giving baths before a puppy heads to their new home, assisting with vet checks, or helping with medications, they’re learning to always be ready to lend a hand.
With willing spirits and character in the making, their presence not only helps the puppies thrive — it also reflects the heart of a family working and growing together.
The grandchildren that love to jump in and help whenever they visit.
Whether it’s playing with the puppies, lending a hand in small ways, or simply sharing their joy, they bring an extra dose of energy and fun to the kennel.
They especially enjoy being featured in reels and puppy photos, making our photos and reels even sweeter and the moment even more memorable.
Destiny plays a vital role in the operations at Albark Kennels, helping ensure everything runs smoothly from first contact to final pickup.
She’s the friendly voice on the phone and Zoom calls, and the one behind the emails — always making sure families receive the information, support, and reassurance they need.
Destiny also assists with vaccinations and handles the important task of registering microchips, so each puppy is documented, protected, and prepared for their new home. She also performs our two-week and four-week evaluations, carefully monitoring each puppy’s development to ensure they’re healthy, thriving, and meeting important early milestones.
As the head of our puppy training program, Destiny leads all aspects of the structured, hands-on instruction available to families who choose to enroll their puppies. She works closely with her husband Karl and their two young sons to provide consistent routines, early obedience, and gentle socialization. Their thoughtful, family-style approach helps enrolled puppies build confidence, manners, and a strong foundation for life with their new families.
Her heart for both people and puppies makes her an essential part of the Albark team.
At Albark Kennels, we are committed to providing exceptional puppies and outstanding service to every family we work with.
