We are a small, home-based breeder with a goal of breeding high-quality, Yorkshire Terriers also known as Yorkies. Our first concern is to breed for exceptional health and soundness into our breeding program.

Also taken into consideration is healthy history, temperament and structure. Our Yorkshire Terriers are home-raised by me and family members, which makes for a very well socialized and loving puppy.

Since not all dogs are show quality, we occasionally have pet companion puppies available to approved homes.
