Q. & A. with Yuma
Why did you start breeding?
What got me into breeding was the love for these tiny souls. Yorkies are adorable-cuddly-teddy bears. They are happy and curious little beings that give life to a home.
What makes your program special?
All our pups are raised in our home. They are socialized with loads of love from family and friends. Desensitized to sounds and human touch.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include chocolate, tan and white, chocolate and tan, parti, black and tan, black and gold, and blue and gold. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

YUMA Yorkie is a breeder you can trust. Our Ralphie is happy and healthy. The lovely ladies we worked with were responsive to our questions and met us with a bag of goodies and info so that Ralphies transition was easy. I recommend this breeder.

I recently got our sweet Yorkie, Francesco Rocco (aka Alvin), from Yuma Yorkie as a surprise anniversary gift for my wife, and we couldn’t be happier! Cristal was absolutely wonderful to work with. She went above and beyond to help us arrange getting Frankie to us. She even met up with one of my friends, who had a layover in Phoenix, to personally hand off the puppy.
Frankie arrived in a perfect carrier, complete with a cozy blanket that had his brothers’ scent, plus a bag full of toys, food, treats, and everything we could possibly need to welcome him home. He’s healthy, happy, and full of personality. We are so grateful to Cristal for making the whole process smooth, personal, and full of care.
If you’re looking for a Yorkie, we can’t recommend Yuma Yorkie enough!!

My wife and I picked up Toby, a male Shorkie from Herminia earlier this year.
We couldn't be happier with our experience. From the initial inquiry to bringing our furry friend home, Hermina provided exceptional service and care.
First and foremost, Hermina facilities were clean and well-maintained, demonstrating a high level of commitment to the health and well-being of her dogs. The puppies were clearly well-socialized and seemed comfortable around humans, which is a testament to the Hermina’s dedication to early socialization.
Furthermore, Herimina was knowledgeable about the breed and provided us with valuable information on how to care for our new Shorkie. She was transparent about the puppy's health history, vaccinations, and any potential concerns, which gave us peace of mind knowing that we were getting a happy and healthy puppy.
Toby has been a delightful addition to our family, exhibiting a sweet and playful demeanor that we adore. His temperament and personality are a true reflection of the care and attention he received from the Herimina during his formative weeks.
Overall, we highly recommend Herminia to anyone looking for a quality Shorkie or any other breed she specializes in. Her professionalism, expertise, and genuine love for dogs makes her stand out in the breeding community.
My wife and I are grateful for our experience with her and couldn't be more satisfied with our decision to welcome Toby a lovable Shorkie into our home.

I had never bought a dog online before and honestly wasn’t convinced at first. Cristal quickly eased my concerns by providing all the health records, vet visit details, and everything I needed to feel confident I was working with the right person. I was even able to do a FaceTime call to meet Maisie, and Cristal shared lots of photos and videos, including pictures of her with her parents, which gave me so much reassurance. She was incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and took such great care of Maisie in the process. Maisie traveled with Cristal to Denver and she arrived healthy, happy, and absolutely perfect. I couldn’t believe she even had a packed bag with all her things. We instantly fell in love with her! I have an almost 14-year-old Yorkie and two daughters at home, and Maisie has already brought so much joy to our family. This was such a positive experience, and I’m so grateful for Cristal’s care and dedication. Highly recommend!

Thank you Cristal and your mom for my sweet Baby Cruz. Working with you has been great. Thank you for his go home bag of goods and his blanket with all the familiar smells to give him comfort. You can tell he was well loved. He has already learned his name and I kept it as Cruz.

We had a fantastic experience with Herminia. She was incredibly responsive throughout the process, making everything from arranging transport to secure payment a breeze. Our new dog, Harvey, is absolutely wonderful—his fun and playful disposition is a testament to the care and love he received before joining our family. We’re thrilled with our new furry friend and couldn’t be happier with everything!
