I'm Melissa R., the breeder behind Mustard Seed Meadows located in Mc Bee, SC. Mustard Seed Meadows' Yorkshire Terriers is built on a foundation of love, admiration, and respect for the Yorkshire Terrier. We truly believe the more educated a person is about the breed, the more satisfied they will be when they purchase a puppy. Doing your homework before purchasing ANY purebred puppy is important. We want you to be well informed and have no surprises. All of our Yorkie puppies are born and raised in our home. These puppies are handled, loved and socialized every day from the day they are born and guaranteed to come to you healthy, well socialized and pre-spoiled.
Q. & A. with Melissa
Why did you start breeding?
Our love for Yorkshire Terriers and their fun-loving nature inspired us to expand the breed in a responsible way and share all of the best qualities of the Yorkshire with the world.
What makes your program special?
As responsible breeders, we try to improve each litter with every breeding. We evaluate the conformation/structure, genetics, and the pedigree of each adult prior to breeding with the goal of improving every puppy. The Yorkies we use for breeding are extremely well known to us because they are a part of the family. They are selected and paired to produce puppies with optimal health, conformation, great temperaments, and desired size.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
