Meet the breeder

I'm Aimie T., the breeder behind Diamond in a Rough Yorkies located in York County, PA. Our high-quality Yorkies are the result of extensive research and thorough care for our outstanding dogs and puppies. When we bring a life into the world, we take that responsibility seriously and do everything we can to make sure it gets the best start possible. Additionally, any pup or dog from our program is a part of our pack for life, and we will always have a home for them here if they need it.

Q. & A. with Aimie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Diamond in a Rough Yorkies began its journey breeding Great Danes back in 2014. It all started in 2007 when my husband gifted me my first Yorkshire Terrier, a charming fellow named Cleo. Though Cleo was never bred, his passing in 2014 ignited a desire within me to welcome another Yorkie into my life, ultimately leading me down the path of becoming a breeder.

  • What makes your program special?

    At Diamond in a Rough Yorkies, we prioritize the health and well-being of our dogs. We conduct genetic tests on all our Dams and Sires, ensuring the highest standards of breeding. Our puppies receive ample socialization, guaranteeing they're well-adjusted companions. Each pup comes with AKC paperwork or IBC registration, reflecting our commitment to pedigree. As a proud member of the International Biewer Yorkshire Terrier Club (IBC) based in Germany, I uphold rigorous standards. It's my pleasure to provide families with healthy, even-tempered companions who will bring joy for years to come.

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

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

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Aimie, was wonderful to work with! She was personable and allowed my husband and I to visit our puppy whenever we wanted to. We also appreciated the picture updates she sent every week! I would recommend Aimie and Diamond in the Rough Yorkies to anyone!

    I have been looking for a Yorkie for over two years and I am so thankful that I found Aime. She was so wonderful to work with, she kept me informed throughout the process and sent me photos along the way so that I could see how my puppy (Brandy) was doing. She answered all my questions and gave me great advice. Pick up was easy, had my puppy for 10 days now and she is doing great. Aime is wonderful, I would highly recommend her. She truly cares about you and her puppies.
