Q. & A. with Katherine
Why did you start breeding?
My daughter bought her first Chocolate Yorkie “Tootsie” in 2017, when she bred her she gave myself and my other daughter a pup and we all fell in love with the experience! We love being there for our mommy dogs during delivery, and helping her care for her puppies. It’s so sweet to watch them grow, and we build special bonds being there for our mama dogs.
What makes your program special?
The fact that our dogs don’t just get me they get my family! My daughters help even with deliveries sometimes. Our dogs and puppies get my 11 grandchildren so they are definitely kid friendly puppies.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include chocolate and tan and chocolate, tan and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Katherine was so great to work with. She kept us updated on the puppy, sent lots of pictures, and answered whatever questions we had. Could have asked for a better experience from start to finish and our little pup is just the goodest boy!
