About Us

| Consider the background of your puppy before choosing one. Be sure that they are confident, friendly, and outgoing, as well as pretty. Just reading the Happy Families letters will let you know the personalities and health of my puppies. Large kennel breeders and puppy mills produce the low quality pups you find in pet stores. They normally do not offer health guarantees. Our "People friendly" pups are the best companions. Since Yorkies can live 15 or more years, choose wisely. They will give you many years of love, joy, and devotion. |
| Many hours of work go into our puppies. Unlike pet stores, our puppies are well socialized, and played with by my children. During summer we have children's horse camps, and during the school year we have riding lessons. Our puppies see horses, cows, cats and dogs, bunnies, etc. All these experiences produce a well rounded pet. If you are looking for a puppy to become a treasured member of the family, ours are perfect. To protect our puppies, we sell them as pets with AKC limited registrations, unless they are intended for a show career. They are not intended for breeders or as kennel dogs. I want them to be house dogs with families to love them. Check our Available Puppies page, or contact us to join our waiting list. |
| We live on a horse farm and raise Tennessee Walking Horses, and AKC Yorkies. Our Yorkies are outgoing, adorable family dogs with great personalities. That is what I fell in love with all those years ago...their personality. They are little clowns- always ready to play. Their beauty is just icing on the cake! |
We have owned and loved Yorkshire Terriers
since 1973. During the years, I have bred
many home grown show quality dogs, using
Champion sires, and well chosen bloodlines.

Trying to breed high quality Yorkies is not easy. It is time consuming and costly. I try to use the highest quality bloodlines and dogs when breeding, to come up with the best quality puppies. There is no such thing as a "miniature" or "teacup" Yorkie. The American Kennel Club standard describes Yorkies in detail, along with weight requirements. Show ring Yorkies must weigh under 7 lbs and those over 7 lbs are considered pets. The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America truly frowns on breeders who call their tiny ones "teacups or miniature". They also do not like the "babydoll" description. That is one way to recognize what kind of breeder you are dealing with. Every Yorkie is an individual. Their temperaments depend on many factors, including how they were raised. Was it in a kennel or home environment? Was it exposed to children or strictly adults? Ours receive many hours of care and play, making them excellent in temperament. |
| Yorkshire Terriers were originally bred as hunters. They can be adventurous and brave. Here is Ninja on top of Mt. Spokane in Washington. Yorkies make excellent playmates and are part of the family. |
| Our special thanks to Ms. Sandi for allowing us to buy one of her adorable puppies. Here we are at a big AKC Dog Show in Atlanta in Sept. '05. Our pup has a really superior pedigree with many Champions. He has made an excellent contribution to the quality and pedigrees of our Yorkies. |
| Our client tells us her cute little boy puppy dragged this bed into the office to be near his owners desk. Boys are so affectionate- just adorable. |
We recently participated in our State Parks baby Gopher Tortoise release into the wild. . |

My little boy was visiting recently, and the family had another small breed of dogs. One kept running across my sons lap. After a while, he picked it up to put it on the floor. It growled at him the whole time. He was shocked. Not one of our Yorkies would ever growl at a child! Personality is so important. Be sure the pup you choose has been well socialized. Many pet store puppies come from puppy mills and have virtually no socialization. Be prepared to continue to correct your puppy when they do wrong and praise them when they do right! |

I hope you will understand....I don't post my phone number on the web site so that I can learn more about my customers before we meet, by email. I live on a farm, and we are always busy during the day. I need the freedom to spend alot of time with newborn care, and cooking for and feeding the mother dogs while they are nursing babies, and socializing our growing puppies. If I had to stop my work several times each day to talk to customers across the country with questions about my puppies, I wouldn't be able to do my job as well. That's why I ask all my new customers to please understand that e-mail is the way I choose to communicate with everyone..... so I can respond at moments when I am not in the middle of something. If you read the info on my site, you will have most of your questions answered. |

She arrived safely, and is exploring her new home! We have named her Lola – and she loves our kids, loves to explore, and is already going potty on the newspapers! Simone and Luc are so happy they are besides themselves…. Thank you for raising such a beautiful puppy. Rob |
