Q. & A. with Kim
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with the Yorkshire Terrier breed. Our dogs have proven to be incredible, loving companions, and we wanted to share that experience with others by producing healthy, happy puppies. It is so fulfilling!
What makes your program special?
We treasure each puppy in our program and give them all the attention and care that we possibly can. We work hard so our puppies can leave our home with confidence, ready to make wonderful memories with their new family!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Poodle puppies include toy and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Maltese puppies are white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Kim was so responsive, and I had great communication with her about the puppy. She answered many of my questions. The newest member of our family was brought by Kim on my son’s birthday as a surprise, and she was so kind to bring him quietly so my son wouldn’t notice. Everything was on time, smooth, and handled very responsibly. Our puppy is absolutely beautiful, very calm, and intelligent we truly love him! He’s so tiny he looks like a little toy. I highly recommend Kim 100%. Our teacup poodle is just perfect!
