FYI, which means "Fun Yorkies Info"

The Yorkshire Terrier—affectionately called a "Yorkie"—started out as a scrappy little working dog in the mid-nineteenth century, right in the industrial heart of northern England. Think coal mines, textile mills, and damp Yorkshire streets—not exactly a lap-dog paradise.

Back then, they weren’t bred for show rings. They were ratters—tough, fearless terriers kept by miners and weavers to hunt vermin in cramped spaces. Their ancestors were likely a mix of Scottish terriers—like the Paisley or Clydesdale—and local English types, all crossed for speed, grit, and that silky coat that later became their signature. By the eighteen-sixties, the breed was taking shape: small, under seven pounds, with a long, parted coat that needed brushing daily just to keep it from tangling in machinery.

The name "Yorkshire Terrier" stuck after a big win at a Leeds show in eighteen-sixty-one—Ben, a little blue-and-tan dog owned by a weaver named Mary Ann Foster, stole the spotlight. People started breeding them smaller, prettier, less... ratty. By the eighteen-eighties, they’d gone from factory floors to parlours—Queen Victoria herself got one, and suddenly every lady wanted a pocket-sized status symbol.

They crossed the Atlantic fast—first registered in the U.S. in eighteen-eighty-five—and today? Well, they’re still feisty, still love a good bark, but now they’re mostly couch royalty. Funny how a rat-catcher ends up wearing bows and sleeping on silk pillows, isn’t it?

Have Puppies, Will Travel.

Welcome to Our Family Breeding Program

After retiring, we’ve been blessed with the opportunity to grow our passion into a full-time endeavor. We now split our time between Michigan and Tennessee, and are proud to offer delivery of your new puppy to either location.

Our puppies are raised in our Tennessee home, where they spend their earliest days in a loving, nurturing environment. You're warmly invited to visit us there and meet your future companion in person, but not until after their vaccines. I can do video chat.

There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about us. We hope you enjoy our site and take a moment to drop us a line.

We look forward to helping you find the perfect addition to your family!

We take pride in our breeding program and strive to make sure our puppies go to loving and caring homes. We are dedicated to providing our puppies with the best care possible, and we love nothing more than seeing them grow up happy and healthy with their new families.

Experienced Breeder

My Yorkie puppies are raised in my home with my family. They are very well socialized with people and other pets. With signed contract and deposit my new parents get a weekly report of their puppies weight and a new picture. All puppies will have dew claws and tail docked, are dewormed, 1st and second vaccines, microchipand vet checked for cleft palate. The puppies will be on their way to be puppy pad trained.

Yorkies are great little companions and do well in an apartment or house. This breed has hair like us instead of fur so they are hypoallergenic and don't shed. They do need to be brushed and groomed.. They will need a harness for going on walks instead of a collar. Their trachea can collapse from collars when they pull against them. They are small, so they can easily go where you go.
