I'm Melissa R., the breeder behind Melrey's paws located in Denver, CO. I'm an in-home breeder dedicated to bringing healthy, quality Poms and Yorkies into the homes and hearts of their forever families. I offer beautiful puppies for those who share the same love and passion that I do for these lovely companions. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever homes!
Q. & A. with Melissa
Why did you start breeding?
It's a personal passion and hobby of mine to help spread love and joy through breeding Pomeranians and Yorkies. The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is the most rewarding experience ever!
What makes your program special?
I take great care planning each litter to ensure I am producing puppies that are excellent representations of the breed. My dogs and puppies are considered members of my family, and they get the best care I can possibly provide. If you are looking for the perfect furry companion, look no further!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

My puppy, Freyja, is adorable! She’s smart, sassy & has a happy disposition. She is larger than expected (8.5 lb at 7 months) and will be a beauty when full grown. Thank you, Melissa!

Melissa is wonderful! She kept us informed the entire time we were waiting for our fur-baby to come home and sent pictures often and whenever we asked. The doggie gift bag was awesome! Milo loves playing in the tunnel and hiding his toys in there :-).
Melissa truly cares about her pups and makes sure that they are going to good forever homes. Our little boy is a joy! He's blended right into the family and is the cutest, happiest, most energetic puppy. He loves to run and play with his toys. We are definitely planning to get another puppy from Melissa very soon!

Melissa was amazing I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a Pomeranian in the Denver area. She was very responsive and would send me weekly pictures so that I could see how my pup was growing. My puppy came to me with already knowing how to sit and stay which was a plus.

Melissa was very easy to work with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a precious new family member. Little Lola is fitting in with our family and we couldn't be happier!

Melissa was very responsive, and I couldn’t love our puppy myles more. She was very helpful throughout the entire process. She even text me after I had the puppy to check on him, and she provided a small gift bag with blankets and toys for him. He is everything she described and we are very happy!

My mom has been grieving the loss of my dad and their sweet Yorkie soon after. She looked and looked for a new little buddy and thought she’d never find the right one. One night when she was looking on Good Dog, she called me and said she found him! She knew the moment she saw his pictures. Melissa was so easy to talk to from the beginning, fielding all our questions without hesitation. She has been the kindest person to deal with. So understanding and accommodating when we needed to meet for pick up. Thank you for a wonderful experience and especially for caring for your puppies as you do! Rocky (Merlin) is healthy and happy!!
