Meet the breeder
I'm Kristi D., the breeder behind Empire Yorkies located in Winder, GA. We’re so excited to be able to help families experience the longtime loyalty of welcoming a new puppy into their lives. We work hard to breed exemplary dogs that are well taken care of from day one and are prepared to excel in loving and caring homes. We love our dogs and puppies, and we strive to place each pup in a home suited to their temperament and ability. We are a small program and all of our dogs live in our home with us. We do not keep our dogs in crates for any reason.
Q. & A. with Kristi
Why did you start breeding?
We purchased a yorkie 7 years ago from an amazing breeder. We loved Khush so much that we got another. Then another. Now we have 5 yorkies. We decided to start breeding when we realized how much we loved Yorkshire Terriers.What makes your program special?
We both feel that the need to provide service and make the world a better place. We do that with our yorkies. We put all of our time and love into our yorkies. Then we send them to their furever homes. It’s our way of spreading love and kindness in the world.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Shorkie puppies are brindle. Shih Tzu puppies include liver, black and white, and brindle. Yorkshire Terrier puppies include tan and white, liver, chocolate and tan, chocolate, tan and white, gold, parti, tan, blue and gold, black and tan, and black and gold. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Krista was so great to work with. I was very happy with her responsiveness to all our questions about our puppy, Bonny. Pick up day was very easy and the puppy was healthy, clean, sassy and spunky! Prior to that day , Krista did FaceTime with us so we could see Bonny running and playing with close up viewing. My husband was so excited to pick up the puppy that he couldn't get any sleep the night before pick up day. Bonny loves her new Papa! It was a lovely experience and I highly recommend Empire Yorkies!

We were looking to add another Shih-Tzu to our family. We knew we had lots of love to give. We came across Einstein at Kristy's Empire Yorkies. We fell in love and knew we had to have him, so my husband drove 3 hours from Tennessee to Georgia for this little fellow. Kristy and was extremely helpful and a pleasure to do business with ! I would highly recommend Kristy's Empire Yorkies for your next puppy !

Kristi was both kind and responsive to any and all questions. She was sensitive to my recent loss and flexible in pick-up. I feel like she truly loves these fur babies and wants to provide good homes for all her babies.
