Frequently Asked Questions

We have been breeding dogs for over 17 years. Now my daughter who is 9 helps me socialize puppies and shows her chihuahuas

We believe in breeding healthy and happy dogs with excellent temperaments.

I’m located in Ellington Missouri. If you are fairly close I can meet a couple of hours away. Please check with me before placing a deposit that I can meet you and where. I can meet at the St Louis or Springfield MO airport if you want to fly yourself to pick up. I can take payments by Zelle, a mailed check or money order, or I can email an invoice for you pay with a card. Cash at pick up is fine also. 

f you are uncertain which gender you are looking for I suggest you consider a male puppy. If they are neutered around 5 or 6 months old they often don’t even raise their leg to pee and they shouldn’t mark. I find the males to be more a mama’s baby type of personality. My boys don’t let me go anywhere without following me, and my girls are a little more independent and content to lay on the couch and wait for me to come back. My boys are usually attached at the hip.

Yorkies are born black and tan but change as they grow. Most of mine should end up looking about the color of one or both of the parents. If you are looking for one who is lighter silver or darker blue let me know and I can help you pick. But their color change can often be a surprise as they grow to see what their adult color will be. 

I try to give my best estimate of adult size. Yorkies can often change and end up smaller or bigger than their charted weight. I try to give the best estimate based on their current weight, parents sizes and previous siblings sizes but I can’t guarantee size. 

All of my dogs are AKC registered. I provide limited AKC registration papers. If you don't discuss full registration or breeding rights with me before placing a deposit your puppy is only sold with limited/pet registration.

I am often told I don’t need a show dog or one to breed. I just want a pet. I probably see hundreds of posts a month from people who bought a yorkie without doing research on the breed standard. I see these posts with pictures of their dog once it starts to grow up asking if their dog looks like a full yorkie, and most of them look very mixed. Or I see people posting pics of a dog with a coarse incorrect  coat asking what they can do to get their dogs hair to grow, when there is nothing that will help, the dogs genes just aren’t for the long silky yorkie coat. If you want a yorkie that looks like a yorkie buy high quality. The best way to know that your yorkie will grow up and have that cute yorkie look is by buying a dog with generations of high quality champion yorkies behind it. Also dogs who are shown have to have a personality that allows them be handled by strangers and to travel and show in strange places. So you know the temperment was good for generations behind your puppy when you buy from a show pedigree. A show breeder selects for correct structure that will help the dog live comfortably into old age without structural defects that can cause pain as the dog ages. A show quality dog is much more than just a pretty dog, it is about correct structure. Health testing is so important also. We are making sure that all of our dogs are health tested and are creating generations of health testing behind our dogs for the healthiest puppies possible.

Nu Vet is a wonderful product for your dog, your puppy is used to eating it and it’s best if your puppy continues with this vitamin. You can order it and have it for when your puppy comes home. A small dog will need ½ tablet daily and they usually enjoy them and eat them like treats. I do feed mine the powder mixed with their food. The cost breaks down to very little per day (30 cents or less per day) since one bottle is a 6 month supply. It’s even less if you sign up for the auto ship program.It comes with a money back guarantee, so there is no risk involved in trying. All of my babies and adults are on this and we have had wonderful results with their health and coats. We've seen great results with teary eyes and itchy coats. It’s more than a vitamin, it’s also an immune system booster that is important for the stress as they adjust to their new home.

Fortiflora probiotic Probiotics are very helpful during stressful times and food changes to keep the stomach settled. We like Fortiflora but it's pretty expensive for multiple dogs. I usually use K9 Power Probiotic we use the Show Stopper or Puppy Gold 

Snuggle puppy these are great for helping your baby adjust to sleeping alone. they have a heartbeat and you can put heat disks in them puppy snuggle at night. A lot of my buyers said that really help with the whining at night as their puppy adjusts from sleeping with littermates to sleeping alone. 

Potty Training 
I recommend confining your puppy to an xpen or Iris pen when you can't watch them closely. It prevents accidents and keeps your puppy safe when you can't watch them closely. These two pens both work very well for containing your babies. 
Iris Pen
X Pen
 

Disposable Puppy Pads
Puppy Pad Holder This is for the disposable puppy potty pads, it helps keep them from tearing up the pads or dragging them around. This is a huge help to keep them from making a mess and also helps keep them from putting their front feet on the pad and going on the floor. 
Washable puppy pad These are a heavier washable pee pad, I prefer using these rather than the disposable pads. These pads are what your puppy is used to using here.
