Meet the breeder

I'm Tammy G., the breeder behind Tammy's Yorkies located in Arnoldsburg, WV. We breed AKC purebred Yorkshire Terriers. All puppies are home-raised with lots of love, well socialized and come with a 1-year health guarantee. We cherish all of our animals and do all that we can to make sure our pups get the best care and go to the best homes!

Q. & A. with Tammy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I've always been around lots of animals and had many pets, but my favorite was a Yorkie I got when I was 10, I'd always wanted another. We finally got our first Yorkies early in 2002. And have had Yorkies ever since, they are my heart and soul.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our beautiful furbabies started with wonderful AKC Champaign Bloodline Yorkies.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include blue and gold and black and gold. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
