Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind 4paws4ever by Design located in Independence, KY. Our pups are home-raised. We put a lot of care into socializing them so they can transition easily into their new lives. We give our dogs the best lives possible. We are looking for families and individuals that will provide our puppies with the same level of love and care.

    Amy was wonderful from the start to the finish. If I ever want another dog, I will contact her. She sent My Yorkshire Terrier home with me with everything I needed to make a smooth transition. We love Zoe from the moment we saw her.

    Amy was responsive and accommodating. It was apparent she took care of her dogs and the puppies. She was easy to work with as well. My baby Tiabeanie, is the light of my life.

    Amy was a wonderful person to work with. You can tell when you talk with her and meet her that she really cares about her babies. She is very responsive and willing to share photos and videos of your puppy before you are able to pick them up. I contacted several other breeders before I found Amy, and I'm glad that I took the time. I would recommend anyone in the market for a Yorkie to check with her.

    Amy was absolutely great to work with. You could tell right away she really cared and loved her dogs and pups. From initial contact to pick up she made the entire process super easy! She sent pictures and videos of Jack (Zeek) to keep us updated. I'm so happy we found her thru Good Dog and would highly recommend Amy to anyone wanting a new fur baby!

    Everything about my experience of buying puppy was exceptional! I can’t say enough about Amy, she really loves what she does and it shows. She was so accommodating and knowledgeable and patient (I think I asked her to send me a short video of my puppy at least every other day before I actually picked her up). So happy with my new puppy and I would recommend buying from Amy to anyone.

    I stumbled upon Amy while searching for my new best friend on good dog. Amy has been by far the best during this whole process even though I was very skeptical at first not knowing Amy at all but I’m so glad I took the risk with her. She is very knowledgeable about her breed and she takes the best care of her dogs and the pups. Amy has been very quick to respond and I loved the many updated pictures and video chats throughout our waiting process for my boy to finally be ready to come home. Due to distance I used the flight nanny suggested and used by Amy they were also very good to work with and they are very kind. I would 100% do this process over if I was ever in search later on. She makes things so easy to go through. If you are looking for a new best friend I would definitely recommend Amy. Thank you Amy so much for everything!
