June 30, 2022:  Clarissa Meador is now the new and very capable owner/operator of Tail Wagging Puppies, with assistance from her husband, Marty.  I have known Clarissa for more than 15 years and, having once been my sister-in-law, I still consider her "family". I have been mentoring Clarissa for more than 5 years as she has already had a successful Yorkie breeding business.
As I approach my 70th birthday, I realize that "To everything there is a season..." My 34 year season of providing you the cutest and healthiest puppies in Tennessee has come to an end. Make no mistake, I will still be involved with this business as I mentor our new owners as they do their best to continue the Tail Wagging Puppies legacy of excellence. I just will not be involved in the day-to-day sales, care, and feeding of our precious pups and their mommies and daddies.
Please pray for Clarissa as she takes on this bold new adventure. In addition, please pray for my husband and I as we settle into our new season of retirement.
God bless you all, and thank you for all your loyalty and business over the years.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Lowe Chambers

Welcome to Tailwagging Puppies, where you can find that perfect adorable puppy for you and your family.  Tailwagging Puppies has been providing beautiful, healthy puppies to families for over forty years and three generations.  We are committed to excellence in raising quality puppies.  All of the parents of our Designer Puppies have excellent confirmation, beautiful coats, and desirable characteristics important for that breed.  Most of our breeds have non-shedding, and hypoallergenic qualities, a relief to allergy sufferers.  Our puppies are supported with a complete schedule of de-worming treatments.  Also, they are given a Neopar vaccination at four weeks of age, which is the best Parvo vaccine available.  At six weeks of age, they are given the Duramune Max-5 Vaccination.

Our puppies include a one-year health guarantee against any life threatening genetic defects. The medications we give are extremely important to insure the puppy’s good health as they go to their new homes.

We invite you to browse our website and view all of the puppies we have available in your search for that new puppy friend to take home with you.

We will gladly help you with any questions or concerns you may have, so please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Valued customers…
Please be aware that we are a small operation. With numerous calls, texts and emails coming in daily, it is nearly impossible to respond immediately. Therefore, I humbly ask that everyone be patient as I get back with you.  Typically, I can reply to a text and email quicker than phone calls, due to the un-ability to hear when I am working the kennel or nursery.  I try to return calls at the end of each work day or the following morning.

I invite you to continually check this website for new litters, updated pictures, and special announcements. I promise that when your spot comes up on the waiting list, I will call you, but please feel free to check in at any time.  

Any texts, phone calls, or emails received after 4:00pm (Central Standard Time) will more than likely be returned the following business day.  No calls, texts or emails will be answered on Sundays.  I will follow-up with that correspondence on Mondays.

Thank you for your faith and trust in Tailwagging Puppies.

Respectfully,
Clarissa B.  Meador

BEWARE of PUPPY SCAMMERS!  Since the COVID-19 pandemic, calls and sales have drastically increased. Most animal shelters are empty, therefore, there are predators out there taking advantage of the high demand for puppies. Be very suspicious of puppies listed for sale, both on-line and in the newspaper. Several of our customers have told us horror stories of scammers who promised just the puppy they were looking for, then asked the customer for a deposit to be paid via Western Union or by mailing a prepaid VISA, (i.e. Wal•Mart gift card). Only to be disappointed to find they had been scammed! Please Do NOT fall for it!  Only deal with a reputable dog breeder who has a verifiable address and, hopefully, a long-standing web presence with positive customer feedback. 
TO BE SURE...Every reputable dog breeder has a vet or veterinary clinic on retainer for vaccinations and emergency procedures. If you think you've found the perfect puppy at the perfect price... ask the seller this one question: "What is the name of your vet or veterinary clinic?" If they give you the info, Google it, then call the facility to see if they are familiar with the breeder. If they are not...RUN the other way!
