| 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 my Yorkies 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 |

| Hello My Friend, Just thought I would sent a photo of Tink. The quality is not the best because it was taken with my phone. I had just finished combing her and she decided to fix her hair herself - she shook her head. She is so awesome. What a joy. Thanx so much for breeding such wonderful pups. T. in Florida |

| Gubbys '09 daughter Hi, Lisa, Thanks for all the great info. Opal is having her spay surgery today and I am praying all will go well. She's such a part of the family, and I get a kick out of seeing my sons with her. We all love her! Anyway, I'm sending you some recent pics. I made some other really great ones of her. I will send you some of those hopefully soon! Julia |
| Momma got her little boy today. He has been vetted and all is good. My sister and I got to surprise mom with him. It was special since she had lost her Pug recently. She sure was happy to get that little charming fellow. I can not thank you enough! :-) He put a smile on my mom's face. I have enjoyed your website at Carter Farms. |
| Here's a letter from one of our happy clients who had a bad experience with another Yorkie breeders puppy. Hello Lisa, I know it must seem like I am ungrateful as I haven’t written to you before now. I am sorry for the delay but I honestly have been so nervous about loving Daisey because of our past experience. I was very nervous that something would happen to her. She has gravitated to me and I cannot believe how much she loves me. She always wants to be with me, sleeps on my shoulders ALL THE TIME and even cuddles with me in bed! I have NEVER had a puppy like her before. Each day I allow myself to love her more and more and now she totally has my heart. She is such a joy and I enjoy every moment with her, even when she makes mistakes in the house! I am sending a picture of her. I also want to tell you that I am truly grateful to have found you, a wonderful, caring breeder. As I stated the past experience was emotionally draining and traumatizing for me. You have been kind and patient to me and understanding what we have gone through. You could not have chosen a better puppy for me. Thank you for everything! Daisey is doing great and being spoiled ALL the time. She gets attention wherever she goes and has more toys than the average child. Her temperament and disposition is amazing! She loves riding in the car and going places with me. I am enjoying her so much. Thank you once again. |
