I’ve had my beautiful Yorkie, Odin, for about two weeks and he is the sweetest dog ever. I met Martha at a local Starbucks to meet Odin and fell in love with him right away. I highly recommend Empire Yorkies as a great breeder. Beautiful pups and super easy to work with. Thank you!!!

Nikkey was very informative about the whole process. She was very accommodating when we requested a meet and greet with the puppy. She made us feel comfortable knowing this was our first puppy. Her love and concern for her puppies was very apparent.
