Q. & A. with Ruben
Why did you start breeding?
My journey into Yorkie breeding started with my love for the breed and the joy they bring to a family. Over time, that passion grew into a desire to responsibly raise Yorkies with excellent health, loving personalities, and great temperaments. I wanted to create a breeding program focused on quality, care, and giving each puppy the best possible start in life.What makes your program special?
As a dedicated Yorkie breeder, I’m committed to raising happy, healthy, and well-tempered puppies. Health and temperament come first, with careful attention to responsible breeding, proper socialization, and loving care from day one. My goal is to provide families with healthy, confident Yorkies that make wonderful lifelong companions.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are blue and gold. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
