Meet the breeder
I'm Teri T., the breeder behind Lil Britches Yorkies located in Crossville, TN. We are a small enough program that we are able to thoroughly focus on each individual dog and puppy and their needs. Our puppy tails are docked according to AKC’s standard which states “Yorkies should have their tails docked to a medium length”, NOT a tiny stub. We take pride in the time and dedication we give to every litter.
Q. & A. with Teri
Why did you start breeding?
My dad raised and showed toy poodles while I was growing up. I helped my dad during the whelping process and learned by doing. I also showed a black toy poodle of my own and actually started beating him and his champion apricot girl!What makes your program special?
I’ve spent lots of time researching Yorkshire Terriers after I bought my first female in 1985. Took my time to purchase quality bred males and females to launch my own breeding program. My babies are raised with love and socialized early in preparation of going to their new homes.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include chocolate and tan, parti, black and tan, and black and gold. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter and program updates
Teri T.
Program update on 26 May 2025 •Chocolate Yorkies are recognized by the American Kennel Club, and they are still considered a rare color variation. Breeders must carefully select their breeding pairs to ensure that the TYRP1 gene is not overrepresented in the gene pool, which can lead to health problems. I spent 2 years finding just the right chocolate pair to breed, eliminating any health issues.

Litter update on 17 May 2025 •New litter of gorgeous chocolates born on May 13th! These babies will stay small as adults, so reserve one now because they will sell fast!

Teri was amazing! We were new to adopting yorkies and she was there for us every step of the way. She took the time to answer every question we had and gave us a welcome home bag when we picked up our babies! Yes, we adopted two from her! They are healthy beautiful puppies!!! I would recommend her to anyone.

Teri Trantanella of Lil Britches Yorkies has been professional and personable since i first inquired about availability of upcoming litters. As a seasoned breeder she helped me understand the process and put me on the next litter's list. Teri has kept me informed every step of this journey, sending messages, pictures, and vid clips. I cannot thank her enough for her time, her patience, and the gift she has helped me receive. I highly recommend Teri of Lil Britches Yorkies. Anyone in search of a Yorkie as a new companion most definitely needs to visit her profile, discover her in-home breeding process and consider the puppies her beautiful sires and dams produce. A1 all the way!!!

Teri is awesome. It was a great experience from start to finish . She was very responsive to my messages, answering all my questions and keeping me up to date with weekly photos/videos. Milo is the sweetest pup. He has such a good temperament. I could tell from the start he was coming from a loving home.
