Ginger was the best breeder I could ask for! She cares so deeply for her pups and helps with any info you need before and after you purchase your pup. My puppy is amazingly well adjusted and she gave me everything I need to continue to care for my pup. I highly recommend her for giving you the yorkie that is healthy, sweet, and well adjusted. We couldn’t have asked for a sweeter, well behaved dog. She has exceeded all of our expectations! Thank you Ginger for caring for your babies!

Ginger has been incredible at every turn. She has been caring and service-oriented. She was super helpful getting us prepared to bring home our pup and equipped us with numerous goodies and useful links. She allowed me to visit the puppy before deciding which helped a lot. And once we settled in at home, she has answered all of my questions. She genuinely loves her dogs and does everything possible to ensure they are happy and healthy. 🐶💕
