Meet the breeder

I'm Sonia, the breeder behind York Terrier Treasures located in Brooklyn, NY. Each of our dogs has filled our lives with love and joy. We're committed to raising healthy, happy puppies who bring that same joy to others. Our goal is to match every pup with a caring home where they can live a long, love-filled life as part of the family.

Q. & A. with Sonia

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I began breeding after seeing the harm caused by pet shops selling sick, poorly bred dogs. It damages families and the breed community. With deep knowledge of many breeds, I chose to start my program with one of my personal favorites—Yorkshire Terriers—and occasionally Miniature Poodles.

  • What makes your program special?

    As the Primary caretaker, I’ve intentionally kept my program small to avoid burnout and ensure quality. This allows me to give 100% of my time and attention to my dam, sire, and their pups—meeting every need with care, patience, and love from day one through go-home day.

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

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

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    We purchased our beautiful boy Ernie from York Terrier Treasures and we could not be happier. Sonia was very knowledgeable about the Yorkie breed and shared tips with us to help with the process of bringing home a new puppy. She continued to communicate with us through the process and sent pics and zoomed with us to see our Ernie. She also made sure that Ernie had all his vaccinations that he needed before coming home! I highly recommend Sonia if you can't be without a Yorkie. They are certainly an addiction!

    Sonia is an amazing breeder and we adore our little Freya! She truly is a treasure! Sonia made the entire process seamless, stress free and interactive. We received weekly photos and also had weekly Zoom calls with our Freya (which made us feel like she was already part of the family even before we picked her up). It was a great experience to see her interact with her litter mates and get to know her personality. Freya came to us well adjusted to every day life, happy, and 100% in good health! Sonia cares for her puppies like they are her own family and we highly recommend her! We hope to get another puppy from her one day!!

    Sonia was very easy to work with, she made the process so easy. Once reserved we did video calls so I could see my fur baby, she gave some good tips for Yorkie. If your looking for your new fur baby I recommend Sonia 100%. I had several questions after going home, and Sonia answered them for me . Rye is a great addition to our family, and if I decide to purchase another Yorkie I’ll return to York Terrier Treasures. Thank you for my handsome Rye.

    York Terrier Treasures is the way to go! Sonia is reliable, knowledgeable and gives her full 100% towards the pups she is caring for. I was so nervous looking for a dog online and now being on the other side of it - I could not have had a better experience. Sonia’s program is smooth, transparent, and filled with love! Sonia provides frequent updates on your pup so before you bring them home you are still able to watch them grow and connect - photos, videos & Zoom calls. One of the things I really appreciated was how thorough and responsible Sonia is. She provides full genetic testing for her dogs, which gave me so much peace of mind. My puppy also received their first round of vaccinations before coming home. When I brought my pup to the vet for their initial check-up, they were given a clean bill of health—it was such a relief to know they were in great shape right from the start. Even after taking my puppy home, Sonia assured me that I can always reach out with any questions. I would absolutely go to Sonia again/recommend her to those who are looking to bring home a yorkie or a York Terrier Treasure in this case😉

    Sonia is a gem; and transaction through GoodDog.com was easy and secure. Sonia cares about her dogs and pups and made the whole process so easy. We zoomed weekly after Remi was six weeks old and I watched my pup grow and interact with his litter mates. What fun that was! At ten weeks, Sonia drove Remi up to Rhode Island where we finally met face-to-face. I was as happy to see Sonia as I was to hold my pup. The best recommendation for Sonia, I think, is that she brought me a happy, healthy, curious, athletic, all-the-way-live little love bug. I recommend Sonia to anyone looking for a Yorkie pup.

    Dear Prospective Puppy Families,I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Sonia, a dedicated Yorkshire Terrier breeder whose commitment to her puppies is truly exceptional. As a first-time puppy owner, I was filled with questions and anxieties, but Sonia's open communication, vast knowledge, and nurturing approach made the entire process a joy. Sonia focuses on raising one litter at a time, which allows her to dedicate ample time and care to each puppy. She goes above and beyond, preparing special meals and ensuring they are well-socialized and trained. When we received our puppy Sprocket (Charlie) at 11 weeks old, he was not only professionally groomed by Sonia and up-to-date on all his shots, but also knew basic commands, a testament to Sonia's excellent attention and training. What stood out to me the most was Sonia's understanding of the emotional side of bringing a puppy into a new home. She provided us with a litter-scented blanket and toy, which was invaluable for Sprocket's crate training and adjustment. In summary, choosing Sonia as your breeder means choosing someone who will provide you with a happy, healthy, well-cared-for, and lovingly raised puppy. Her expertise and compassionate approach make her an outstanding choice for anyone looking to welcome a new four-legged member into their family.
