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. .
1970's

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.

Don't get a puppy from a puppy mill.  Most
pet store pups are just that. We believe it
is important to health test dogs prior to
breeding. Please check our Available
Puppies page.  Then, see QualityDogs.com

breeders like us.

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
