Parent dogs
Cocoa, mom
Yorkshire Terrier
About Cocoa
Cocoa is a beautifully colored babe, who is the ultimate cuddle companion. She is very chill and just wants to be with her person (whoever is currently on the couch). She loves all people, kids, and other dogs. All of our dogs have excellent recall as we live on 3 acres and love to be outside. Cocoa is the perfect combination of adventurous and cuddly.
Jack Jack, dad
Yorkshire Terrier
About Jack Jack
Jack Jack is a playful, energetic dog that loves to cuddle. His parents were DNA and health tested as well as himself. Results available upon request. He loves to run and jump like a rabbit around the yard and chase all toys. He is very affectionate and is the favorite playmate of our youngest daughter, although his favorite human is my husband, the only other male in the house lol.
Stella, mom
Yorkshire Terrier
About Stella
Stella is a female Yorkshire Terrier. Carefully selected as a great representative of her breed, Erica decided to make her part of their program. Erica has passed Good Dog’s screening process, which involved a review of their breeding practices, environment, and the mental and physical health of their dogs.
Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
pupstatenewyorkies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Yorkshire Terriers.
Hip Dysplasia (rDVM, not registered)
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia (rDVM, not registered)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
