Please read the information on my site, and you will have most of your questions answered. I have over 40 years exclusive experience with Yorkies. Education is so important for everything that we want to accomplish in our lives. Responsible Yorkshire Terrier breeders spend time learning BEFORE breeding. Serious Yorkie breeders do not want their bloodlines in the wrong hands. I've spent over 44 years of dedication and hard work which could be destroyed in one generation, with someone elses careless breeding. My pet puppies are to be loved, not bred. You dont need AKC registration papers to show unless you plan on a full show career. You can show with PALS # which is an AKC program for pet only dogs with no papers. They must be sterilized to participate and they only qualify for PALS events, no regular conformation events. Conformation showing is for breeding, so if you dont plan to breed, just choose PALS. Please be sure to mention it, if you want a dog of breeding or show quality. My Yorkie puppies are Always from AKC Registered parents, with a 1 year life-threatening inherited defect health guarantee. The Happy Families page has actual letters of reference and photos we've received from our clients over the years, for your enjoyment. My Carter Yorkies Facebook page does, too. My reasonable prices reflect the fact that I live on a horse farm in the country. I know it is more difficult to see my puppies than going to the mall pet store. Our puppies high quality and personality make it well worth the effort. Many of our clients reserve their puppies from us by internet and come to meet them when they are ready. |
| Yes, Mom, we are asleep... You often can't see pictures of parents of the pup you buy. We are proud of our sweet parents. They are pictured throughout my site. |
Yorkshire terriers are energetic toy dogs with big-dog attitudes. This tiny dog with an alert, engaging personality and dauntless courage has endeared himself to us and to our clients everywhere. His qualities as a family dog and companion are unsurpassed for he has great intelligence, a readiness to accept training and the fearlessness and tenacity of a dog many times his size. In our age of condensed living, the Yorkie has the obvious advantage of his small size, and his hypo allergenic, non-shedding coat, making him an excellent choice for pet lovers. Weight not to exceed 7 lbs for an AKC Show Dog. Larger Yorkies are considered pets. |

| FAQ: Why Buy a high quality Yorkie? Think of us as the SAFE place to buy a Yorkie puppy. In my 40 plus years experience, I've heard so many sad stories of dishonest people in the puppy business. Check my Happy Families page for many actual happy letters and photos from my clients. There are currently alot of scams about inexpensive (cheap) Yorkies. Dont send your money to them! My puppies often live 15 years or more. Their quality makes them worth the cost up front. I also find ads in local papers for cheap Yorkies- $400 or $500- often with CKC or APRI registration. Puppy mills often operate with those registries. I just can't respect the CKC registry when all it takes are two people who agree that it LOOKS like a Yorkie, to register it with CKC. It's like everything else. You get what you pay for. If you buy a cheap Yorkie, you may end up paying many times over for the Vet bills on serious health issues like heart or liver, later in its life. Liver shunt operations run $5,000, and heart problems can cost your pets life. Often, "micro Teacup" Yorkies are also a big health risk. Dishonest breeders, who only breed for tiny size (and the higher price), sacrifice health and the intelligent Yorkie personality and looks- just for the teacup nickname. My puppies come with a written health guarantee. A.K.C. registry is higher quality. Puppies from AKC bloodlines tend to cost more than pups from other registries. This is because the AKC, which is the oldest, most respected dog registry around, has rigid standards their breeders adhere to. The purity of your chosen breed tends to be better protected with AKC compared to any of the other registries. I am AKC Inspected and Approved. My studs are DNA tested and proven, microchipped, and careful pedigree records are kept. Our clients often tell us that you can see the difference in QUALITY. They have shopped around, and they notice how pretty, healthy, and happy my puppies are. These are Yorkies to be proud of! Its always nice to have a good recommendation from happy clients. Taters new owner is a radio personality or DJ. We appreciate her kind comments on the air about us and our puppies! Tater was one of our larger pet puppies and fit into her home with two Great Danes perfectly |
FAQ's: Why do I prefer emails? I do appreciate emails instead of phone calls. I can answer them when I have time after working with my children, the horses, the Yorkie moms, or cooking for them, or delivering and socializing Yorkie puppies... usually late at night, when the house is quiet. Please be certain your email address is CORRECT so I can reply to your questions. We get alot of emails and it helps me to answer yours quickly. If I called everyone, my phone bill would be terrible. If everyone called me, I would never get my work done. Let us know what you are looking for in a puppy - one to breed, or show, or a companion- and we will do our best to find a suitable match. |
Buyer Beware! Breeders who sell "Teacup Yorkies" of under 3 lbs. as an adult can be very difficult to raise. Low blood sugar, heart murmurs and liver shunt problems should be tested for and checked during their early life. My Vet says 33% of Yorkies will have these problems. They are NOT for the inexperienced dog owner at this tiny size. We try not to have these tiny, frail puppies. They are certainly not something desirable. Many dishonest breeders even charge MORE for them! Read the AKC standard for Yorkies. There is no such thing as a miniature or teacup Yorkie. It's a scam to charge more. We have been very blessed not to have experienced these serious health problems in our bloodlines, but be warned that they do exist! |

| AKC Facts The Yorkshire Terrier, fondly called the "Yorkie" by millions of enthusiasts, has overtaken the Golden Retriever and the iconic German Shepherd to become the SECOND most popular purebred dog in America according to 2008 & 2010 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 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 |

| "I read this and I have to agree- it is so true! I had to print it for you." FAQ: WHY CHOOSE MALES? "This opinion was taken from a dog breeder with many years experience. Not every thing written here is a fact- just an opinion ... a little food for thought! Many people believe that female Yorkies make better pets...female preference seems to be ingrained in these people. Most of my calls for pet dogs have people wanting a 'sweet girl'. They think they are more docile and attentive and do not participate in fighting over dominance. Well folks, this is not always true. In the dog pack makeup, females usually rule the roost. The females are more independent, stubborn, and territorial than their male counterparts. The females are also more intent upon exercising their dominance. Males, on the other hand, are usually affectionate, exuberant, attentive, and more demanding of attention. They are very attached to their people. They also tend to be more steadfast, reliable, and less moody. They are more outgoing, more accepting of other pets, and take quickly to children. Most boys are easily motivated by food (how true!!) and praise, and so eager to please that training is easy. However, males can be more easily distracted during training, as males like to play so often. And no matter what age, he is more likely to act silly and more puppy-like, always wanting to play games. The difference between sizes and sexes is minimal, if bred correctly. Neutered males can exhibit secondary sexual behavior such as 'humping', or 'marking' and lifting of legs. But once the testosterone levels recede after neutering, most of these behaviors will disappear. Boys who were neutered usually don't ever raise their leg to urinate. I recommend waiting until 1 year old, for your puppys mental and physical well being. The female will usually come to you for attention. When she's had enough, she will move away, while boys are always waiting for your attention and near at hand. She is much more prone to mood swings. One day she may be sweet and affectionate-the next day reserved and withdrawn, or even grumpy. The female also has periods of being 'in heat' unless she is spayed. Seasonal heats can be a problem- not just for the female, but you and every male dog in the neighborhood. If you are not breeding, you'd be best off to have her spayed, since during this time she can leave a bloody discharge on carpets, couches, or anywhere she goes. A walk outside during this period can become hazardous if male dogs are in the vicinity, and she will leave a 'scent' for wandering intact males to follow right to your yard, where they will hang out, and 'wait' for days." |

| FAQ: Are Yorkies easy to train? My Yorkshire Terriers are intelligent dogs. According to Dr. Stanley Coren, an expert on animal intelligence, the Yorkshire Terrier is an above average working dog, ranking 27th out of the 132 breeds tested. His research found that an average Yorkshire Terrier could understand a new command after approximately 15 repetitions and would obey a command the first time it was given 70% of the time or better. This capacity as working dogs enables Yorkies to excel in sports like obedience and agility, which require the dog to understand communication from the handler and carry out a complex series of commands. Additionally, Yorkies learn to recognize numerous words and can be taught to distinguish and fetch separate toys in a box by their names. My first Yorkie, Sassy, knew at least 25 different words. That made it hard to sneak anything past her! ( yumm...spaghetti!) She did excel in Obedience classes against many larger breeds. |

| FAQ: How old are my puppies when they go home? This info is taken directly from AKCs own site: "Many animal behaviorists agree that socialization reaches its peak at the 49th day (7 weeks). At 8 to 9 weeks, the pup can go to his new owner and home. (If you choose a good breeder,) He has received human contact and love. He has been exposed to different environments and house breaking. Now the breeder can choose with confidence their pup for future breeding and showing. And they can place the puppies they choose to sell according to their temperaments in homes with new owners. Different personalities will match different homes and families. The individual attention, interaction and love that puppies receive during their first seven weeks are invaluable and will reap lifetimes of rewards." My puppies are healthy and not prone to hypoglycemia, etc. as some pet store and backyard breeders puppies are. One of the best Yorkies I ever bought, I got when she was 5 weeks old- so smart and bonded with us. My puppies often go home around 8-9 weeks with great success, as you will read on the Happy Families page. |

| FAQ: Why are my AKC registered Yorkies special? An AKC puppy is worth more than one from other registries. A.K.C. registration is the oldest, most respected registry. It is the one registry which has higher quality dogs. AKC has strict requirements which I follow. My Yorkies are AKC Inspected and Approved. My studs are DNA tested and have Champion pedigrees, too. Other registries like CKC and APRI were invented to help backyard breeders and puppy mills fool their customers. Remember... "You get what you pay for". You can be sure of a friendly, high quality puppy from us. |
