Dawn S.

Breeder of Yorkshire Terriers

Meet the breeder

I'm Dawn S., the breeder behind Adk Mountains Tiny Dreams located in Glens Falls, NY. We’re devoted to ensuring there are healthy Yorkshire Terriers for others to enjoy and we do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed. We are dedicated to always providing our buyers and our puppies with a positive experience, which includes remaining committed to responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies. I do not sell my puppies to renters or families with small children.

Q. & A. with Dawn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I grew up around animals my entire life. I got my first Yorkshire Terrier in 2002 and fell in love! I researched the breed extensively and decided I wanted to share the love of these little babies with others. I started breeding them and my first litter was born here in my home in 2004.

  • What makes your program special?

    I specifically breed for health and temperament. All my breeding stock is throughly tested and cleared of any known genetic defects prior to being bred. I only place my babies in homes with homeowners and homes with no small children. This is not optional.

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

    Our puppies include chocolate, tan and white, chocolate and tan, and black and gold. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
