Q. & A. with Melinda
Why did you start breeding?
My daughter and I got into breeding soon after getting our first Yorkshire Terrier. We decided we wanted to provide well cared for, loved, healthy Yorkie babies to loving homes.
What makes your program special?
Our breeding program is special as it is very small. We are an in home breeder, our mom's and dad live in our home and deliver in our home. We do not plan to be a large breeder as we devote our time and affection to all of our fur babies. We will retire our mom's at age 5 to keep them healthy. Our puppies come with AKC registration, vet check, deworming and a puppy package.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include chocolate and tan, parti, black and tan, and black and gold. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Melinda was prompt with replies and very knowledgeable about the Yorkies. Baby was healthy and playful. Process was easy, she kept me updated with pictures. Payment through Goodog is wonderful, easy to complete. I would trust Melinda and Goodog.
