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.
