About Us
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
| Consider the background of your puppy before choosing one. Be sure that they are confident, friendly, and outgoing, as well as pretty. Just reading the Happy Families letters will let you know the personalities and health of my puppies. Large kennel breeders and puppy mills produce the low quality pups you find in pet stores. They normally do not offer health guarantees. Our "People friendly" pups are the best companions. Since Yorkies can live 15 or more years, choose wisely. They will give you many years of love, joy, and devotion. |
| Many hours of work go into our puppies. Unlike pet stores, our puppies are well socialized, and played with by my children. Our puppies see horses, cows, cats and dogs, chickens, etc. All these experiences produce a well rounded pet. If you are looking for a puppy to become a treasured member of the family, ours are perfect. To protect our puppies, we sell them as Pets unless they are intended for a show career. They are not sold for breeders or as kennel dogs. I want them to be house dogs with families to love them. Please be sure to be honest if you intend to show or breed, and let me know. AKC Full registration for a show or breeding prospect costs more than a Pet. |
| We live on a horse farm and raise Tennessee Walking Horses, and AKC Yorkie puppies in Georgia. Our Yorkies are outgoing, adorable family dogs with great personalities. That is what I fell in love with all those years ago...their personality and beauty. They are little clowns- always ready to play. Their beauty is just icing on the cake! |
| We have owned and loved Yorkshire Terriers since 1973. During the years, I have bred many home grown show quality dogs, using Champion sires, and well chosen bloodlines. Some photos of me with my Yorkies during the last 44 years are on this page, below. |

Trying to breed high quality Yorkie puppies is not easy. It is time consuming and costly. I try to use the highest quality bloodlines and dogs when breeding, to come up with the best quality pets. There is no such thing as a "miniature" or "teacup" Yorkie. The American Kennel Club standard describes Yorkies in detail, along with weight requirements. Show ring Yorkies must weigh under 7 lbs and those over 7 lbs are considered pets. The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America truly frowns on breeders who call their tiny ones " micro, mini, miniature teacups". They generally charge alot more for their tiny ones. That is one way to recognize what kind of breeder you are dealing with. I understand what people mean by "teacup size", and I do have those occasionally. Every Yorkie is an individual. Their temperaments depend on many factors, including how they were raised. Was it in a kennel or home environment? Was it exposed to children or strictly adults? Ours receive many hours of care and play, making them excellent in temperament. |
| Yorkshire Terriers were originally bred as hunters. They can be adventurous and brave. Here is Ninja on top of Mt. Spokane in Washington. Yorkies make excellent playmates and are part of the family. |
| . Here we are at a big AKC Dog Show with our Yorkie puppy in Atlanta, Sept. '05. Max has a really superior pedigree with many Champions. He has made an excellent contribution to the quality and pedigrees of our Yorkies. |
| Our client tells us her cute little boy puppy dragged this bed into the office to be near his owners desk. Boys are so affectionate- just adorable. |

I hope you will understand....I prefer to communicate by email (carteryorkies@yahoo.com) and text at first so that I can learn more about my customers before we meet. I live on a farm, and we are always busy during the day. I need the freedom to spend alot of time with newborn care, and cooking for and feeding the Yorkie moms while they are nursing babies, and socializing our growing puppies, along with caring for our farm animals, and family. If I had to stop my work several times each day to talk to customers across the country with questions about my Yorkie puppies, I couldn't get any work done. Please understand that e-mail is the best way I can communicate with everyone..... usually at night, when I am not working. If you read the info on my site, you will have most of your questions answered, including my phone number . |

She arrived safely, and is exploring her new home! We have named her Lola – and she loves our kids, loves to explore, and is already going potty on the newspapers! Simone and Luc are so happy they are besides themselves…. Thank you for raising such a beautiful puppy. Rob one of my Yorkie puppies in South Carolina |
| Hi Lisa, Hope all has been well. I know you're long overdue on an update for Faith. She was one of Tootsie and Smartie's little girls that were born on April 30. I must say, she was THE best little car companion. We got her checked out at a vet in Alabama and everyone loved her. She was a happy baby and when we got home she got along well with my other two dogs. Leila, my lab, played softly with her (as expected) and she had no qualms about the cats. She is really calm and by no means a leader. I was expecting a yappy little yorkie and not one peep comes from her. I have some pics of her through out the months just so you see how gorgeous she looks. She's been such a pleasant little baby and we've had some laughs learning how to stack and groom for showing...lol. Here are some pics! Thanks again for our baby. She is awesome!

| Hi Lisa! Wanted to update you on Bentley (Queen's and Max's boy from last November). He is such a sweetheart! I absolutely love seeing him first thing in the morning and love his kisses when I get home. He shares all his toys with our Maltese and loves everyone. His ears are still floppy, but we don't mind because he's beautiful no matter what. I have sent you a pic of him in his Halloween costume. Hope all is well.--Kristen one of my yorkies in Florida |
| Thought you might like some pictures of "Rafa", our little yorkie puppy we bought from you last month. We named him "Rafa", which means, "healer." The kids haven't cried since he came. We took him out West with us to the Grand Canyon, Sequoia and Yosemite. He was a great little traveler and loved every minute of it. Thanks again for such a wonderful little companion for the kids.

| Hi Lisa! Just wanted to let you know that Bentley is doing great! He's 9 months old the end of August and is very happy and healthy. He is absolutely the sweetest dog I have ever met! He is very loving and beautiful. 2010 Queens boy |

| My little boy was visiting a family with another small breed of dogs. One kept running across my sons lap. After a while, he picked it up and it growled at him. He was shocked. Not one of our Yorkies would ever growl at a child! Personality is so important. Be prepared to continue to correct your puppy when they do wrong and praise them when they do right! Be sure the pup you choose has been well socialized. Many pet store puppies come from puppy mills, raised in wire cages, and have virtually no socialization. I've seen them. When you buy a pet store pup, you are not "rescuing the puppy". You help the puppy mill owner continue to profit from his dogs. Its the same with Rescues. Those dogs do not come with a health history, and often have health or behavior issues. In many cases, you also take on future health problems and the Vet bills to go along. Mine are AKC and State Inspected and Approved. What a difference! |
