Amanda O.

Breeder of Yorkshire Terriers

Meet the breeder

I'm Amanda O., the breeder behind Homeoftheyorkieandpups located in Lake Forest, CA. We’re passionate Yorkshire Terrier lovers dedicated to raising happy, healthy, and well-socialized pups. Each of our Yorkies is raised in a loving home environment with plenty of playtime, attention, and early training. We focus on health, temperament, and breed standard — ensuring your new companion will be as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside. Whether you’re looking for a show-quality Yorkie or a loyal lap dog, we’re here to help you find the perfect match.

Q. & A. with Amanda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My love for Yorkshire Terriers began with my very first Yorkie, whose sweet personality and loyal nature completely stole my heart. Over the years, I learned everything I could about the breed — from their care and training to their unique health needs. What started as a deep admiration soon became a passion for preserving and improving this wonderful breed. Today, I’m proud to raise Yorkies with excellent health, temperament, and beauty, so others can experience the same joy my first Yorkie brought me.

  • What makes your program special?

    What Makes Us Different My breeding program is built on quality, care, and connection. Each Yorkie is raised in a loving home, never in kennels, so they’re well-socialized and ready to fit right into your family. I carefully select parents for health, temperament, and adherence to the Yorkshire Terrier standard, and all puppies receive top-quality nutrition, vet care, and early training. Most importantly, I stay connected with my puppy families for ongoing support, because bringing home a Yorkie is just the beginning of a lifelong friendship

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

    Our puppies are black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Profile, DNA Disease Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
