    What can I say about Monica and Trevor from Alsop’s Precious Paws? They are amazing breeders, and I would hands down recommend them to anyone who is looking for a Yorkie pup! What impressed me most was their willingness to put the puppy’s health first before wanting to make a quick buck. For example, my puppy had a little difficulty dealing with the first round of vaccinations which caused her to have some diarrhea. Monica took her back to the vet just to make sure that there weren’t any other issues. After getting the “all clear” from the vet, Monica wanted to postpone the pickup until she felt confident that the puppy was in good health, which I agreed to without any hesitation. Monica also did a great job staying in touch. I never had any communication problems with her, and she was always sending me new pictures and videos of the puppy. Monica and her husband, Trevor, provide an excellent environment for pets, especially Yorkies. Not only do they have multiple dogs, but they also have cats! This was a huge relief for me since we also have cats in our house, and knowing that the puppy was already accustomed to being around cats was great. Monica is not only a professional breeder, she’s also a caring person who wants her puppies to go to a good home.

    Monica was very accommodating. The puppy was shipped via American Airlines and arrived safely. It's obvious she takes great care of her dogs and it shows. I would certainly recommend her to my friends and family.

    Monica was fantastic for us! She responded fairly quick and sent photos and updates up until we were able to pick up our little guy! She was super helpful and flexible for picking him up as well! We have wierd work schedules but she was able to find a time for us to come get him that worked out well for everyone! We absolutely love our pup! We appreciate that she was able to start potty training him prior to us getting him which has made fully training him so much easier for us!
