Meet the breeder

I'm Shannon J., the breeder behind Sassenach Yorkie Kennels located in Milton, FL. We’re devoted to ensuring there are healthy puppies for others to enjoy and we do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed. Our puppies become integral members of our family. They’re a daily part of everything we do until they’re ready to join their forever families.

Q. & A. with Shannon

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include chocolate and tan and blue and gold. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    They live in my home.

Matched dogs

These dogs are already reserved or have gone home.

Getting a puppy from Shannon

Shannon has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Shannon partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“We want to make sure that our buyers are settled and that they are ready to care for our babies as new family members. If anything ever changes for our buyers, we will always take our puppies back. We never want them to be left behind or surrendered. We understand that things can happen, and we would just rather have them come back to us. ”

Price

Puppy prices include a $400 non-refundable deposit and between $1,200 - $3,400 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“Depends on gender, size, color, and parents. We have a sale going on right now on our two litters that are ready to go. They have all had three rounds of vaccines. Deposits are to be received in order to reserve a puppy. We do have verified local lap nanny’s that have delivered puppies for us all over the US and some that deliver internationally. The puppy has to be paid for in full prior to leaving our home.”

She was incredibly knowledgeable about the Yorkie breed and took the time to answer all of our questions and even asked us about our home life to ensure a good fit
