Meet the breeder

I'm Helen P., the breeder behind Joyful Yorkies located in Battle Ground, WA. We focus on intentional breeding so that we can produce quality puppies that are excellent representations of the standard. Our dogs have silky coats, proper coloring, good anatomy and movement, a straight top line, a nice head shape, and an excellent temperament. The parents are DNA profiled through AKC and DNA tested on health issues. Our goal is to breed quality puppies according to the AKC standards. We are dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our pups.

Q. & A. with Helen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always loved animals and fell particularly in love with the Yorkie breed. I enjoy owning Yorkies myself and love helping every puppy become a wonderful companion for their new family.

  • What makes your program special?

    We breed top-quality pups. They are healthy and well socialized with both people and dogs. We love our overseas Yorkie parents, who come from very famous champion lines. It is important to us not only that we preserve our own phenomenal bloodlines, but that we are improving this breed with each litter and ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come.

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

    Our puppies are blue and gold. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Finding a new puppy for me, then then I found the ‘good dog’ site and joyful Yorkies… Helen was very helpful in the steps from the original asking about her to the deposit the payment and then going to pick her up at Helen‘s home again. Helen was helpful and teaching me about taking care of this tiny little puppy. She cares about the puppies! Then today at her first veterinary appointment, her veterinarian complimented this puppy and the breeder. I would recommend joyful Yorkies and Helen to anyone looking for a little Yorky. It has been a fabulous experience and it’s just beginning with this puppy in my life. G Rosa Rose
