Meet the breeder
I'm Rhonda B., the breeder behind Starr Mountain Yorkies located in Athens, TN. 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 Rhonda
Why did you start breeding?
I have always had some breed of dog in my life growing up. Everyone gives the yorkie a bad rep, but I got my first one for Christmas in 2022. That's when I discovered they are extremely smart and trainable.What makes your program special?
My dogs are raised within the walls of my home and treated like family, and I expect the same treatment and love for them from any potential buyers. When you buy our babies, I do want updates on how they adjust and fit in along with special holidays to see how they are part of the family life.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Penny
Penny was a ball of energy as a puppy, but calmed down with age and loves nothing more than just lying on my lap as I sit on the couch and chill. Yet, she still has a fun side and likes to play fetch with her small fuzzy duck toy.
