Q. & A. with Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
Once I studied the breed and got my first male, I knew I wanted a female to have our little litter, once we seen our first babies born, we fell more in love with our Yorkie’s and decided to try it a few more times in the future.
What makes your program special?
My babies are home raised with lots of love from our family, we only have our little male and female, we are not a big time breeder with multiple Yorkie’s. Our babies are always well taken care of daily.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include tan and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
