Q. & A. with Alicia
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding out of a deep love for the breed and a desire to help families find the perfect furry companion. My goal is to continue providing healthy, well-tempered, and beautiful dogs that not only meet the physical standards but also possess the intelligence and loyalty that make them lifelong family members.
What makes your program special?
By keeping the program small, I’m able to provide every dog and litter with the attention they deserve. Each puppy gets top-notch care, ensuring they are raised in a loving, healthy environment where their individual needs are met. This hands-on approach allows me to focus on the well-being of every dog, fostering a strong bond and ensuring they are given the best start in life.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

It is truly impossible for me to describe how thankful I am for Alicia and for the amazing job she did with raising my puppy from her birth to the day I was able to pick her up and take her home. Earlier this year I decided that I wanted to finally add a yorkie to my family. It was VERY important to me that I purchase a yorkie from a breeder that only shows love, kindness and consideration to their dogs. After many hours of searching on this app, I finally came across Alicia’s page and I instantly knew this is what I was looking for. The only issue was, I live in MN and Alicia lives in OR. I made a very trusting decision to go forward with choosing a puppy from Alicia, making a payment to her and purchasing flights to go pick up my new puppy, sight unseen – And I literally could not be any happier with my decision. Alicia made this whole process very comfortable and enjoyable. She understood I was making a big (and scary) decision and she truly acted as a good friend would throughout the process. She sent pictures, videos and updates nearly daily. She even offered to let me FaceTime with my new puppy, Olive. She did such a wonderful job with exposing the puppies to the normal life noises (doorbells, cars honking, children playing, etc), getting them used to grooming, being touched/petted. It is so obvious that she poured tons of intentional love into my puppy. Olive is now 10 months old. While she is only 2 pounds, she is bursting with life. Olive has a wonderful temperament. She enjoys playing with other dogs, playing fetch is her favorite hobby and giving cozy snuggles is what she does in her spare time. So – if you are also considering adding a yorkie to your family, you are looking at the right page. I cannot recommend Alicia enough.
