Q. & A. with Andrea & James
Why did you start breeding?
Andrea bought her first Yorkshire terrier in 1988. Her name was Gracie and Andrea wanted to breed her once, so she could have one to keep. Well, she fell in love with having puppies. She loved watching their little lives come into existence. Andrea had two dogs and they put her through college. Life got in the way, and she didn’t have any more pups. We are thrilled to be in this journey again, and we hope to share it with you.
What makes your program special?
We are a small, in home breeder. The love and joy which my husband and I share for all animals, but especially yorkies, is unmatched. The excitement as delivery day approaches and then arrives, the milestones. The first time we see their eyes open, and soon see their little personalities develop. We love them all, and we love to share that with great owners. We are entrusting our little babies to special people, who we know will be great pet owners.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter update on 15 July •
We spend a lot of time playing in our very own in-home dog park! This is great for acclimating the pups to different sounds. You can hear the train in the background. It is very loud in real life, but the puppies are not concerned at all. Everybody just keeps playing 😊
