In today’s world, there is no room for all the unwanted animals produced by indiscriminate breeding. There are no excuses, no reasons why, if we are prepared to produce puppies, that we are not prepared to follow their eventual disposition … and even take them back, if necessary. Some breeders are prepared to "cull" litters by euthanizing unwanted puppies, even for mismarks or other cosmetic reasons … we don’t agree with this practice, but at least they aren’t placing dogs carelessly. We sometimes have older Yorkies available for adoption - please contact us for more information on them. We warn you, our standards for placement are as tough as those we sell on! 
       Human life seems to have little value today, and even less for animals … we who love our dogs must take the responsibility of making sure every puppy goes into the home or situation where he will maintain a long and happy life. We don’t euthanize (kill) our older dogs that are no longer producing; they live out their lives with us until adoption, sickness or death takes them from us. This means that we can’t breed as many litters as we’d like - some of our champions are 3 or 4 years old before they ever produce a litter, and some of our "Seniors" are as old as 17!
       The old fellows that have given us so much are deserving of our gratitude, devotion, and best possible care. For this reason we don’t always have puppies available. We don’t offer our stud dogs at public service because we want to know where every one of their puppies go. We don’t sell breeding stock - if they’re not good enough to show, they’re not good enough to breed, and we have high standards for show stock. Sometimes we work with a breeder to help establish a breeding program … but ONLY if we know their standards are similar to ours. 
       Our pet puppies are guaranteed in writing for their lifetime against congenital or inherited defects, and are free of disease and parasites. We don’t register pet puppies, only those we keep for ourselves … we do guarantee pure breeding, and furnish the AKC registration numbers of the parents as well as a 5 generation pedigree. We will do our part to avoid exploitation of our dogs, while continuing to strive for perfection in their quality. 
       Puppies are socialized in our home, played with and allowed to explore our four acres when they’re weaned. They learn "discipline" from the older dogs, while learning to be "housedogs" … this gives them a well-balanced attitude going into new homes. In short, every puppy is raised to be loved, to be a pal, a companion, a show dog, or obedience dog … all in one! 
       We are members of our local kennel club, and participate as charter members every month. We follow anti-dog legislation closely in our State, and help provide educational material to our community. We have a close working relationship with our Veterinarian, Dr. David Beste from Middletown Animal Hospital … believe he is one of the finest in the State.  
       We will continue with other diagnostic tests for other inherited problems. In other words, we are "responsible" breeders. We welcome your visits, and enjoy showing off our Yorkies, young and old - and will share with you our knowledge of the Breed garnered over the thirty plus years we’ve had them. We think Yorkshires are very special little canines, not suited for everyone, but to those that love them, they have so much to give in return. Ah, would that we were as good as our dogs see us … they deserve the best we can give them.
