Meet the breeder

I'm Andrea M., the breeder behind Crystal Garden Yorkies located in Pittsburg, CA. At Crystal Garden Yorkies, we believe every Yorkie is a jewel, a sparkling little treasure waiting to be discovered. Nestled in California, our small family program has been devoted to the Yorkshire Terrier for over 15 years. A passion for raising healthy, beautiful, and affectionate puppies.

Q. & A. with Andrea

  • Why did you start breeding?

    What began with one tiny Yorkie quickly blossomed into a lifelong passion. Over the years, I studied pedigrees, learned the breed standard, and poured my heart into raising Yorkies who are not only beautiful, but also healthy and full of love. My goal has always been simple: to share the joy of this wonderful breed with families who will treasure them as much as I do.

  • What makes your program special?

    Crystal Garden Yorkies is a small, in-home program where our Yorkies are family first. They live alongside us, not in kennels, and are spoiled with love, care, and attention every day. With just a few litters each year, I focus on quality over quantity. Each puppy is a sparkling little gem, nurtured in the heart of our home, and ready to bring joy to their forever family.

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

    Our puppies include blue and gold and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Andrea M. from Crystal Garden Yorkies provided an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. As someone new to working with breeders, I had a lot of questions, and Andrea patiently answered every single one—from puppy care and feeding schedules to vaccinations and supplies. She was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the entire process, even sharing video clips of the puppies so I could get a sense of their personalities before committing. When it came time for the final payment, there was an unexpected hiccup with bank fraud verification that sent me into a bit of a panic, but Andrea was completely understanding and patient while it got sorted out. That grace under pressure meant a lot during what was already an emotional time for me. She followed up after I brought Mochi home to check how she was settling in, offered helpful tips on crate training and treats, and has continued to be a supportive resource. My little Mochi is healthy, happy, and absolutely wonderful. I couldn't be happier and would wholeheartedly recommend Crystal Garden Yorkies to anyone looking for a Yorkshire Terrier from a caring, professional, and genuinely kind breeder. A note on GoodDog.com: I was dreading the process of finding a reputable breeder—I imagined endless phone calls, uncertainty, and worrying about potential scams. GoodDog made it easy to find a trustworthy local breeder and took so much of the stress and risk out of the process.

    Andrea was great to work with and our puppy is perfect and adorable! She sent regular pictures and updates about how she was doing up until we met half way so I can pick her up. She has checked on us regularly since we have been home this first week. She really cares the puppy is in a good home and I think that says a lot about how she cares for animals and her own dogs. Definitely recommend!

    I can't say enough wonderful things about andrea at crystal garden yorkies ! From the very first interaction, it was clear how much she cared about their dogs and the families they go to. She took the time to answer all of our questions, provided detailed care instructions, and stayed in touch throughout the process. The puppies are clearly raised with so much love and attention in a nurturing environment. Our new furry baby came home happy, healthy, and well-socialized. If you're looking for a responsible, compassionate breeder who truly puts the well-being of their dogs first, look no further than . We are so grateful for her kindness and dedication!
