Meet the breeder

I'm Melinda J., the breeder behind Shayle's Yorkie Pups located in Bryan, TX. We have been raising Yorkshire Terriers since 2022. We are a small in home breeder as we take pride in producing well loved, healthy puppies. We have Two females and one male that live in our home. We have kept it small as we feel it is important to give our mom's and dad lot's of attention & love.

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.
