Meet the breeder

I'm Katelyn R., the breeder behind A Yorkie Tale located in West Fargo, ND. We are committed to raising exceptional Russian & Parti Yorkies with a focus on health, temperament, and conformation. They’re part of our family & we treat each with the most care/respect. From regular health screenings to socialization, we go above and beyond!

Q. & A. with Katelyn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I fell in love with my first Yorkie and was instantly hooked by their charm and personality. What started as a personal passion quickly grew into a full-time breeding program. Now, I’m devoted to raising healthy, beautiful Yorkies and helping others experience the same joy they’ve brought into my life.

  • What makes your program special?

    What makes our breeding program special is the care and quality we provide every step of the way. Our Yorkies come with a health guarantee, up-to-date shots, and full paperwork. Raised in a loving home, they’re well-socialized, happy, and ready for their perfect forever families.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include parti and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

    Katelyn is very knowledgeable about the Yorkshire Terrier breed. I am a first time yorkie owner and I am fortunate enough to have found a Yorkie Tale and get my perfect fur ball from Katelyn. A yorkie tale is great because your puppy has a healthy environment from the start, from being around many other dogs, kids, being inside and outside, the love and care of the first part of your puppy's life. Knowing that your puppy is coming from a loving home is setting you up for success. I have 2 young boys and Rex is great with them. He doesn't bark at strangers, isn't scared of other dogs. I feel like I got really lucky! I would recommend Katelyn at A Yorkie Tale 10 out of 10 times. A++++ Gold Star!!!

    Katelyn made this experience so special. From keeping us in the process of our little pups growth, to answering questions throughout, she truly eased our minds as we prepared to welcome our baby home! We appreciated knowledge, and professionalism we experienced working with Katelyn along with her warmth, honesty, and genuine love for yorkies! I highly recommend A Yorkie Tale!

    We couldn't have asked for a better puppy! I've struggled a bit with what to write, Ididn't want to sound cheesy, but the beautiful girl we got from Katelyn is a true delight. Emmy is full of energy, ready to play, and has the Yorkie mischief we were looking for. Her personality can be attributed to how well she was socialized when she was with Katelyn and her family. Thank you Katelyn for all of hard work you did to prepare Emmy for her new home. We are truly grateful for allowing us to bring her to our home!♥️
