Q. & A. with Jacqueline
Why did you start breeding?
I was interested in AKC show dogs and started going to local dog shows.
What makes your program special?
All my dogs are evaluated for temperament and for confirmation to the AKC breed standards. We have champion bloodlines and promote healthy, well socialized puppies. I bile acid test all my yorkies and have them checked out by my vet in deciding whether to move forward with breeding plans. We do not place puppies before 10-12 weeks of age. All puppies go home with a puppy packet.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
