| Carter Yorkies Beginning in 1973, I have had a long history with Yorkshire Terriers. I'm a small breeder, striving for quality rather than quantity. I've shown Yorkies in AKC shows, and know what it takes to produce a beautiful show dog. I've even shown in Obedience classes, and won! My pups are bred and socialized as family pets. I try not to breed the tiny, unhealthy, frail dogs nicknamed "teacups". The American Kennel Club and the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America (YTCA) frown on those tiny "teacups" and discourage them from being shown successfully. That is because of their many health problems. Mine are from healthy old fashioned lines and multi-Champion pedigrees- tried and true. My goal is to breed Yorkie puppies who match the AKC standard, and are happy and healthy. I am flattered when someone who has had other dogs holds one of my puppies and comments on how "calm" they are. That is a sign of a well raised pup. My pups are special because of the love, care and attention they start with. "Once a person has owned a Yorkie, there is no doubt he will always own a Yorkie. He is the most adorable charmer....happy being the doll in the doll carriage, watching tv with the boss, or helping cook dinner, one eye cocked to the chance that a tidbit might fall, which naturally - in order to be a help- he will immediately remove from the floor." "Be he a big Yorkie or a tiny one, he is endowed with a marvelous intelligence and a most valiant spirit." ...from the Complete Yorkshire Terrier. I have found their descriptions so true. I had a big Yorkie who would accompany me everywhere, even on my horse rides, running for miles, until he looked so tired I'd have pity on him and ride him the rest of the way on my saddle. They are truly valiant and loyal, a great companion for anyone. - Ms. Lisa |

The Yorkshire Terrier, fondly called the "Yorkie" by millions of enthusiasts, has overtaken the beloved Golden Retriever and the iconic German Shepherd to become the second most popular purebred dog in America according to 2008 AKC registration figures. Over the last decade AKC data has pointed to a rise in popularity of smaller breeds. However, not since the Boston Terrier nearly 70 years ago has such a small dog achieved such notable status. The popularity of the Yorkie and many other small breeds indicates that dog enthusiasts are doing their research and choosing a portable, pint-sized breed which fits the fast-paced lifestyle of many modern dog owners |
