I'm Jo S., the breeder behind Jo Smallwood located in Carleton, MI. I'm the breeder of Jo Ann Yorkie's located in Carleton , MI. I have been breeding for over 30 years. We are pet owners first and foremost. All of our puppies are raised in my home with family until they’re ready to join yours.

Kiara N.
Verified owner · Oct. 2025
Jo was extremely kind and helpful. She was gracious and sent me updated pictures of my puppy every few weeks. After pickup, she checked up on the puppy and helped me get him adjusted. She provided tips/tricks to get him to eat as he adjusted to his new environment. She was also extremely knowledgeable. I would 100% repurchase from her again!
