Meet the breeder

I'm NATALIYA R., the breeder behind Tiny Joy located in Raleigh, NC. I have a background in mental health counseling and animal-assisted therapy, which helps me understand the bond between dogs and people. I keep a small number of Yorkshire Terriers and Chihuahuas in my home, where they receive early socialization, regular veterinary care, and lots of attention.

Q. & A. with NATALIYA

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started with Yorkshire Terriers out of a love for the breed and a desire to learn more about dog health and behavior. Over time, this grew into something I take seriously. I later became interested in Chihuahuas and continue learning so I can raise healthy, well-adjusted dogs.

  • What makes your program special?

    I focus on a small, home-based setting where each dog gets individual attention. I take everything I do seriously and make thoughtful decisions to support the health and temperament of my dogs. My goal is to raise happy, healthy puppies and place them in loving homes where they will thrive.

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

    Chihuahua puppies have long coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our Yorkshire Terrier puppies include blue and gold and black and gold. Chihuahua puppies include chocolate, cream and white, and chocolate and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
