Q. & A. with Brenda
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding Yorkshire Terriers after falling in love with the breed in the early 2000s. My journey began with showing Yorkies, where I learned about their standards and characteristics. Over time, my passion grew, and I transitioned into breeding, focusing on raising healthy, well-tempered puppies to share the joy of Yorkies with others.
What makes your program special?
My breeding program at Yorkie Lane is special because I focus on quality, not quantity. I carefully select pairings to ensure healthy, well-tempered puppies that are lovingly raised in my home. Training starts early to provide a well-rounded, socialized puppy ready for family life. I offer lifetime support to every puppy owner, ensuring a positive experience from start to finish.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
