Mine and Yorkies, LLC
Meet the breeder
I'm Melissa A., the breeder behind Mine and Yorkies, LLC located in Saylorsburg, PA. I worked as a veterinarian assistant, certified in pet nutrition, for 7 years. I purchased my first Yorkie 20 years ago and fell in love with the breed. Now, I'm a stay at home mom and breed for the love of the Yorkie. My puppies are raised in my home, around our family, are well socialized, and litter/pee pad trained before they go to their new home. They come with tails and dewclaws done, lifetime microchip, up to date dewormings, vaccines, AKC registration, health certificate from vet, and health guarantee against genetic defects. Puppy packs include food, bed, bows, info on feeding and hypoglycemia, bones, ball, wee pads, and whatever else I find that they would benefit from going home with.
