Meet the breeder

I'm Laken I., the breeder behind Tinseltown Yorkies located in Benton, AR. My dogs are bred for health and temperament. Though health is my first priority, I also take great pride in the confirmation and disposition of my babies. I focus on babydoll features with bold, outgoing, loving personalities. My pups are well socialized, pre-spoiled, and receive the best vet care.

Q. & A. with Laken

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I grew up on a farm raising working dogs with my grand parents. I naturally have always had such a love for animals.
  • What makes your program special?

    My babies leave completely fearless and socialized. I have 3 young children still living in my home (11, 10, and 8), 2 adult daughters, and one adorable grandson. We are also all musicians so it’s constantly loud at our house. We also have cats and a few rescued dogs that also help with socialization.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

Price

“My prices reflect the quality of my babies and the rareness of their colors. All pups come with a $300 welcome home kit, de-worming, vaccinations, vet checks, microchip, and a lifetime of my support. I require a $200 holding fee to be on my waitlist and $300 to reserve your puppy once it is time to choose at 6-8 weeks of age. The balance is due when pups leave at 12-16 weeks.”

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Tinseltown Yorkies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Yorkshire Terriers.

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Brucellosis, Kidney Disease (UPCR), Serum Bile Acid Test

  • Full Embark Panel, Dominant Black DNA Test, Chondrodystrophy (CDDY and IVDD Risk) with or without Chondrodysplasia (CDPA), Dilated Cardiomyopathy 1 (DCM1), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), Primary Lens Luxation (PLL), Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), Congenital Dyshormonogenic Hypothyroidism with Goiter, Shih Tzu Type, DNA Disease Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
