I'm Barb D., the breeder behind Barb's Luvayorkie located in Inverness, FL. I am proud of the healthy, affectionate, and behaviorally well-rounded puppies I raise for other families to love! I offer family pets that are socialized and well-adjusted, playful puppies. My Yorkies live in my house with me and my husband. They are our family. The puppies are raised in my living room where they are in the center of our home and our lives.
Q. & A. with Barb
Why did you start breeding?
My family has bred dogs for over 30 years. I love Yorkies and enjoy giving joy to other people when they get one of my Yorkies.
What makes your program special?
They are all home-raised. I am available 24/7 for my puppy's parents and I stay in contact with them prior to the puppy going home and after. I send photos and videos weekly.
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.

Barb kept me updated throughout the time I picked out my puppy until I brought her home. I received weekly updates and pictures plus vet visit updates and current care. Excellent puppy information was provided, in writing, when I picked her up. Highly recommended.
