I'm Danein L., the breeder behind Lil Country Gems Yorkies located in Bowling Green, KY. At our breeding program, we prioritize both health and appearance in every dog we raise. Our commitment to excellence ensures that each puppy is not only beautiful but also has a strong foundation for a healthy life.
We believe that socialization is key to a well-rounded pet. That’s why all of our dogs are exposed to a variety of people and situations from an early age. This helps them develop the confidence and temperament needed to thrive in their new homes.
We take pride in the opportunity to match prospective owners with the perfect puppy. By understanding your lifestyle and preferences, we can help you find a lifelong companion that fits seamlessly into your family. Whether you’re looking for a playful friend or a calm companion, we’re here to guide you in making the best choice.
Q. & A. with Danein
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding dogs back in 2012 when my husband had sporting dogs. I bred them for a while then got my first dachshund which then turned into a few dachshunds and decided to breed them. I now have yorkies which I just adore and now have decided to breed them.
What makes your program special?
I feel like my breeding program is special because I make my dogs and puppies a top priority in my life. They get the best of everything. They all are raised in our home with an abundance of attention and play time. I raise my dogs with their health in mind and breed them to create a healthy beautiful puppy for others.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include parti and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Danein was so amazing to work with. I was nervous getting a puppy online but she was quick to respond and answered all our questions. She made everything about getting our puppy so easy. From all the pictures she sent us, to sending our puppy home with all the essentials. We couldn’t be more satisfied and thankful for working with Danein!
