Q. & A. with Ericka

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We purchased our girl Yorkie in 2023, we loved her so much that we had to purchase her a companion. That’s when we got our boy in 2024 to breed the two of them. Everyone who meets them immediately falls in love with them that we had to share the love.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our dogs are an extension of our family. They are fully vaccinated and have regular check ups. Both mother and father are caring, smart, loving and kind, and love people. All our dogs are AKC registered.

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

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

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
