    I met Kathryn through Good Dogs and immediately found her to be very knowledgeable about Yorkie terrier. She also cared about the puppies and their parents which meant a great deal to me. I purchased my puppy on Oct 29, 2025 and was allowed to name her Lily Rose 🌹. Kathryn was and continues to be wealth of information about Lily Rose and provided updates on her health and well-being in emails, pictures, and videos. She made adoption process seamless and I never had a doubt that I was getting a championship bred puppy. Since receiving Lily Rose 🌹on Jan3, I am absolutely certain that I made the right choice in selecting Kathryn as my breeder, and now as my friend. I can still contact her if I have any questions and that means the world to me. I would highly recommend Kathryn as the breeder from which I would purchase another Yorkie terrier. Lily Rose 🌹 is a top quality puppy with a great personality. She's the love of my life!! Thank you, Kathryn..you're a godsend!

    I'm hesitant to tell you about my Yorkies form Kathryn! You may find my comments to good to be true. Well, that will be for you to decide....so here I go.... I met Kathryn here on GOOD DOG ! I wanted to go out in the world again and find a reputable dog breeder What I found was way more than I could ever expect from a breeder. Honest forthcoming knowledge about YORKIES, A genuine passion for the breed A loving family who also enjoys bringing these little Yorkies into the world. Kathryn loves her babies...knowing her, I see how hard it is for Kathryn to let her babies go Her grand daughter loves these babies right out of the womb, with Grandma teaching her how to care for, love on, and raise these little gifts from ( you know where!) As Kathryn is the most wonderful breeder I have ever met in my 70 yrs of loving these puppies....She blew me away ! My new babies, I had to take TWO of her babies because they are JUST THAT SPECIAL No hyperbily here, This breeders entire family seems to good to be true... YET IT IS TRUE ! This was not my first rodeo My puppies are already so well loved, they respond to my own love... and they did right away ! * 8weeks old and they come to my micey sounds They respond to a quite "uh oh" and stop to pay attention ! This is crazy ! Her grand daughters love as well as this family, has put a spark in these puppies, such as I HAVE NEVER SEEN ! If you want a baby that is fed love from the very beginning, then don't hesitate with Kathryn's breeding My first dogs (when,I was young) had to be what I could afford That turned out to be a mistake, and I lost one, and on my two others, I spent thousand on their poor health. Word to the wise...YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR AND healthy, well loved yorkies, bred carefully...are what you will get. In this world, 2025, who can trust anybody? Kathryn had me at hello ! (LOL ! ) And I had to name my girl baby after her grand daughter... cause that love she poured into this baby girl puppie has gone home with me. TRUST ME if you can, Kathryn has my permission to give out my phone number so you can speak directly to me. You'll hear the truth from me, if you ever wish. I not only love my puppies....I love the whole family !

    This was the easiest adoption I’ve ever done. Kathryn was exceptional with keeping me informed with Ivy’s progress and a lot of pics. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants a yorkie.

    My experience with Kathryn was wonderful! From the very start she kept us updated on their progress from when their eyes opened until it was time to pick them up. She was communicating with us frequently with texts and pictures as well as videos. It was wonderful and made the waiting so much easier! Meeting with her to pick up our babies was wonderful as well. She supplied us with a bag of information and fun things to get us started. We are so happy with the babies and the experience.

    From the moment I reached out to Kathryn on AKC and Good Dog, she was absolutely wonderful—warm, professional, and kind. I had been through a rather difficult experience trying to find a trustworthy Yorkshire Terrier breeder, and Kathryn immediately put my mind at ease with her transparency and compassion. Our initial phone call went smoothly. Not only did she answer all of my questions, but she also took the time to educate me about her breeding approach. She shared information about her past litters, along with photos and details about her current litter of seven. I was fortunate to be one of the first people to place a deposit, and Kathryn made sure I was matched with the puppy that was truly right for me. Being six hours away in New Jersey, choosing a puppy without meeting them in person was challenging. However, Kathryn went above and beyond—FaceTiming me multiple times a week and consistently sending pictures and updates. Her thoughtfulness made me feel incredibly connected throughout the entire process. When the day came to pick up our puppy, Kathryn met us with warmth and a genuine smile in a public location. She brought a thoughtful bag with a blanket that had the mother’s scent, some toys, and all necessary vaccination paperwork. She spent around 30 minutes with us, sharing helpful tips about feeding, bathroom schedules, and care instructions. Even after we brought our puppy home, Kathryn has remained in constant communication, always checking in to see how our pup is doing. It has truly been a pleasure working with her. When the time comes to add another Yorkie to our family, there’s no doubt we’ll turn to Kathryn again. I highly recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and caring Yorkshire Terrier breeder. She’s simply the best.

    Kathryn is so knowledgeable and was very helpful during out "adoption" process. She is absolutely the most caring and invested breeder I have ever known. From our initial contact she provided updates about our puppies. We were so impressed with her that we decided to purchase 2 siblings, and this is the best decision we could have made. Miss Gianna and Mr Gabriel are so well behaved and lovable. They are potty trained, are eating well and sleep well in their "playpen". Kathryn and I continue to stay in touch as she is still vested and concerned about the new home adjustment for both the puppies and my husband and I. She genetically tests her dogs before breeding so to do her very best to breed healthy, long-lived Yorkies. When we met for pick up Kathryn provided all necessary immunization and vet visit information as well as their Pedigree certificate. She provides blankets and toys to help acclimate the pups to their new home. I cannot speak highly enough of Kathryn and her family for the beautiful baby yorkies we now have. We absolutely recommend her! 10 STAR ++++++
