Gracie has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
After buyers complete the application and screening process, Gracie partners with them to find the best puppy match.
"At Essence of Grace Yorkies, families are screened and approved before being matched with a puppy. We do not place puppies on a first-come, first-served basis. Each puppy is matched based on temperament, personality, structure, and overall lifestyle fit. Because we raise and evaluate our puppies for 12 weeks, final placement decisions are made by us in the best interest of the puppy to ensure a successful, lifelong match."

"Puppy prices vary by gender and include vaccinations, microchipping, and deworming. Show-quality prospects may be available at an additional cost. Reservation fee to hold a placement once puppies are 2 wks old. Applied to purchase price. Refundable if buyer cancels, minus documented expenses. Pickup required within go-home window."
Gracie may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Gracie offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Gracie directly.
You can drive or fly to pick up your puppy from Gracie.

✨ A special reunion ✨ Yesterday we dropped Ranger off in Ventura, where he reunited with his mama, Mari 💕 He’ll be heading to Hawaii in just a couple of days to start his new island adventure 🌴☀️ It was extra special because Mari’s dad was there with Leilani — another one of our babies we cared for until 13 weeks old before she went home to him. Moments like these remind us why we love what we do: watching our puppies grow, thrive, and eventually reunite with their families 🐶💖 We’re so grateful to have cared for Ranger these past six months, and we can’t wait to see him enjoy the best life in Hawaii! 🐾✈️🌊 #YorkieLove #FamilyReunion #YorkieAdventure #EssenceOfGraceYorkies #YorkiesOfInstagram

🌺✈️ Exciting News from Essence of Grace Yorkies! ✈️🌺 Our sweet boy Essence Of Grace Ranger is officially heading to Kona, Hawaii in just a few days! 🏝️🐾 This is our very first time as breeders completing the process of sending one of our Yorkies to Hawaii — and we’re proud to say we did it successfully! 🎉 It’s a big milestone, and we are now happy to offer this option to other future families who may be located in Hawaii. Ranger is now 6.5 months old and such a tiny little guy at 3.5 lbs. He’s been raised with us since birth, neutered, completed both of his rabies vaccines, and passed his FAVN Rabies Titer Test required for entry to Hawaii. 💉✅ Ranger is out of our AKC Champion Sasha and is also Lucy’s half-brother. 💙 We could not have picked a better family for him, and we know he’s going to have the very best life in his new pet home. We’ll miss him dearly, but we are so happy for his next chapter and wish him all the love and happiness in his island paradise home. 🌊🌴 💌 Best of luck, little Ranger—you’ll always have a special place in our hearts!

We are thrilled to share that our beautiful AKC Champion Abbey has been confirmed pregnant! 💕 She has been bred to our beloved Grand Champion Silver, Charlie, making this a very special pairing for us. Both parents are AKC champions, and we are so proud of the quality and legacy they represent. Puppies are expected in early October, and we are absolutely over the moon with excitement. 🐾✨ We are especially hopeful that this litter may bring us our next show prospect to carry on our program. We are also very thankful for the expertise of our amazing reproduction vet, whose care and guidance make moments like these possible. 🙏🐶 Stay tuned as we share updates along the way — we can’t wait to watch this journey unfold! 💫

About Lucy
Lucy – One Major Away from Her AKC Championship Meet Essence of Grace Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, lovingly known as Lucy — a confident, beautifully balanced young female proudly bred and raised here at Essence of Grace Yorkies. Lucy represents the final legacy of her dam, Ellie, and shares lineage with her half-sister, our AKC Champion Abbey. Her sire, AKC Champion Roco, brought exceptional structure and ring presence to this pairing, and Lucy is proving to be a stunning blend of both parents. Lucy made her AKC debut in January 2025 and has been consistently competitive in the ring. She now holds 12 AKC points, including a major win, and needs just one final 3-point major to complete her AKC Championship. Health and preservation breeding remain top priorities in our program. Lucy has completed Embark genetic testing and is OFA certified for eyes. She will complete her OFA patella evaluation as she reaches full maturity prior to any breeding plans. With her balanced structure, confident temperament, and beautiful breed type, Lucy is well on her way to becoming an important part of our program’s future. We are incredibly proud of her progress and excited to watch her finish her title.

An AKC Grand Champion Silver, Junior Champion, and Grand Champion of Costa Rica, he built an impressive show career defined by elegance, presence, and breed type.

Charlie exemplifies the Yorkshire Terrier standard with his beautiful headpiece, confident expression, strong structure, and unmistakable ring presence. While he is now retired from showing, he remains an important part of our breeding program. Beyond his accomplishments, Charlie has proven himself as a producer. He consistently passes on his soft temperament, beautiful type, and show potential to his puppies. We are excited to continue thoughtfully building upon his legacy through carefully planned pairings within our program. Charlie has been genetically tested through Embark and is OFA certified for eyes, reflecting our commitment to health and responsible breeding. Charlie is truly a treasure at Essence of Grace Yorkies — now enjoying life outside the show ring while continuing his legacy as a foundation sire. 🐾💙
