Q. & A. with Shelby
Why did you start breeding?
I have always loved animals and fell in love with the Yorkie breed when I was a child. I went to school to become a vet tech and did my internship in a reproductive clinic. I learned first hand how important health testing and proper litter socialization was. I knew then that I wanted to start my own program. After a few more years of research, we purchased our first Yorkie!What makes your program special?
We strive to produce happy and well adjusted puppies. We health test our adults. We do ENS and Volhard temperament testing with each pup. We also wait until 7+wks to let families choose pups. Every baby is fully vetted, microchipped, and started on litter training and basic manners, to ease the transition. All babies go home with a goody bag and 30 days of free insurance just in case.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include tan and white, gold, chocolate, tan and white, chocolate and tan, parti, tan, black and tan, and blue and gold. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Kyra, mom
Yorkshire Terrier
About Kyra
Kyra is a show stopper! She has a rich dark chocolate coat that's full and silky. She's got a great personality and build. She's quite the talker and will tell you exactly how she feels if she doesn't get her way. We we're afraid she wouldn't make breeding size, but decided to hold out until she was over 1 yr. Finally at 15 months she reached 5lb. I'm so glad we held out because she's been an amazing mother so far.

Shelby was wonderful to work with. Khaleesi (Khali) is a wonderful addition to our family and we couldn't be more pleased. Shelby made the purchase and transition to our family seamless. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reputable breeder.
