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

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.

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.

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.
