Meet the breeder

I'm Kristi O., the breeder behind Sweet Southern Yorkies located in Collierville, TN. I cherish all of my babies & do everything to make sure they get the best lives possible; from choosing healthy parents w/good temperaments, proper socialization, daily care & vet care, to placing them in loving homes w/wonderful families. We strive to provide everyone w/a truly positive experience!

Q. & A. with Kristi

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Several years back when my daughter was still a teenager we were looking for a small breed family pet that would not hinder my daughters many allergies. We researched and come across the Yorkie. We purchased our first one and fell in love. From there I started researching all about the breed and here I am breeding and raising these wonderful babies!
  • What makes your program special?

    We strive to produce quality, healthy, beautiful babies. I spend so much time with my babies to give them a great start as a puppy. I want all of my babies to find that perfect home that is meant for them!
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
